I have my own Nova.
Shes a 1970, Currently has a 350 with a turbo 350 trans. It's pretty decent... But... I just brought home my New Baby, a 383 Long Block.
What it has is...
Dart Iron Eagle Heads, 200cc Intake Runners, 2.02"/ 1.60 Valves
Comp. Cams Extreme Energy Hyd. Cam
.477"/ /480" LIFT, 224° / 230° @ .050
268° /280° ADV. DUR., 110 L/C
She was also expertly built and blue printed.
Other goodies I plan to put in/on include:
Holley 750 Double Pump (Or use the Edelbrock 750 I have now)
Edelbrock RPM Airgap Intake
Super Comp Headers
A built Turbo 400
A Eaton 3.73 Posi
And Fuzzy Dice.
The engine is dyno'd to make approx. 425hp/440ft-lbs of Tq.
In a car that weighs approx. 3000lbs it should run in the 12's. Hopefully.
I dont care if I cant burn some '68 Chevelle with a monster big block, haha far as i'm concerned we're all on the same team. My biggest kick is finding the poor kids who dumped all of Daddy's money into a Honda only to make them slower with the weight of body kits, coffee can mufflers that sound like bumble bees, stereos that are just loud and stickers lots of stickers. Just makes them easier to track down...
She's a work in progress... but arent they all?
Everything needs replacement... but sitting for almost 8 Years doesnt help. She's been in the family for more than 12 years. So when I was given the keys, I promised the car that i'd make her right.
Well, thats my Ride and my story... and i'm sticking to it!
