"The Camaro and Nova were the last two passenger cars with an inline 6 in 1979, and for that year they used the non-integrated head that the 292 trucks used."
That is strange, I bought a new 1979 Camaro With the 250 I6 from Bob Frink Chevrolet in Sacramento CA, and it had the integrated head. Maybe this was a California only thing, as every '79 Camaro, Nova, and a couple of Caprices I have seen, whether on the street, or at a dismantler all had the integrated intake head. The Caprice also had the 250 I6 with integrated head as the base engine from 1977-'79.

IntegratedJay pointed out the '79 250 car head change. I've confirmed this on parts charts for the '79 versus my '78. The gaskets and exhaust parts are different from the '77-'78 charts. I've only seen a picture of one '79 Nova that had a non-integrated stock setup and haven't seen any others. Not sure what to make of it all, Maybe Jay can shed some light on it.
