I can't tell from looking at it, but I know that stock 67-69 Camaro's came with the weaker 8.2" rear differential stock. However in 73-74 the Xbody Nova's came stock with the much stronger 8.5" and were a direct swap for first gen Camaro's. I'd confirm if it's the 8.2 or 8.5.

Yes i am sure it is a 8.5 and not a 8.2. looks like it had upper mounts cast in to the housing that was cut off. also set up for multi leaf setup. what is a nova 8.5 worth? thanks
