Does someone know how many 1974 Novas were built with the 350 V8 Engine. I have heard there were not many due to the gasoline crunch at that time. Most of them had the six.
Any information will be appreciated.

Not sure on the #'s but my brother has one that he has had since 1978. It is a 350 with factory 3 speed on the floor.

In 1974 there were 390,537 Novas sold.
219107 were 8 Cyl and 171,430 were 6 cyl.
13,708 had a 3 speed and floor shift.
My son had a Olds Omega with a 3 speed floor shift and a 6 cyl engine.

Thanks Scott. Ours is a 350 - 2bbl. Power Steering, Disc Brakes, AC. We are the second owners. The car had 26,900 miles on it when we purchased it in 1995. The car has just over 50,000 on it now. We bought it to tour with. It is HPOF and HPOCF certified.

Gene and Jim, I wish I had my '73 Hatchback. It was a 307 V8, 3 speed manual on the floor with buckets and A/C. My first real car I bought with my first professional paycheck.
