Is that a Volkswagen engine powering that nova or a Corvair
Never try to tell me it can't be done

Don't think it's either based on the lower hose coming out of the water pump and low mounted power steering pump and the Pan looks Chevy not VW or Corvair. Not sure...looks like a Chevy motor to me and if it is a 68 it could be a 396 based on the water pump...might be confusing the massive leaf springs as opposed cylinder/heads.Originally Posted by Frank S
396 water pump...
Got to be quick around here...Guess it's a 70, small block 400...¿

Doesn`t look like VW..probably Corvair
I was thinking Corvair as well looking at the belt configuration leading off at an angle to the left would be in line with the horizontal cooling fan on top of the engine with a series of idler and transition pulleys. but I have been wrong before and it has been 50 years since I've seen a corvair up close.

You guys must see something I don', cuz it looks like a sbc 350/400 to me.
I started the confusion because on the small monitor I had at the time the water pump and lower radiator hose was not definitive and for some reason it looked like there were cylinder heads horizontally opposed to each other.

OK, looking closer I can see the valve cover on the rt side and an exhaust manifold on the left.
Sorry for the confusion but at first glance it looked like the engine was a pancake because it looked like I could see the plug wires going down on both sides. and the 2 exhaust pipes looked like they were exiting out of a rear mounted traverse muffler.
Also confusing me was why would anyone use either of the under powered engines in such a rig
on the other forum where they are talking about the nova someone asked why would anyone do that to a nova.
Well why not do that to a nova its not like there was a shortage of them built.

You will need a heavy snow fall before you can drive it off that container!
