[Motown 454]

The car looks gorgeous! Nice job.

Well.....new motor is in....plates are one...ive got probally 150 miles on it so far and the car is a total ANIMAL! It is everything I envisioned. Handles like it's on rails and is beyond stupid fast! Right now I I have boost turned down to 9psi and gonna venture to say it's putting down 600-650rwhp as is . Stay tuned for more pics

awesome build. Smooth firewalls set cars apart to me...well that and a nice chassis. Sucks about your old motor, but glad you're back in it. 600rwhp....geesh I have a long way to go.

Hey man the car looks awesome. I am kind of just starting my 70 nova. I finished the tub and still on the body work. The 4 link suspension that i am looking at getting is the exact one that you are running. With the 315/30s how low can you adjust the coil overs with out the tires rubbing? Id like to get mine a little bit more up in the wheel wells. Im not going to be running the power that you are so if i lack on performance a little its ok. I'm just building a cruiser. any advice is welcome. Thanks

Sorry for the late reply....i could easily get the car another1-1.5"lower. More if you went with a softer spring.....i personally like the look of the tire being cut in half/ by the wheel well or so to speak...
I am totally happy with the suspension it handles better than i dare puah the car and hooks way better than i thought it would considering the hp its putting down.

damn you photo bucket for ruining another thread

[jasonsnova]

ya photo bucket sux.... and I haven't found any thing to replace it that works with mobile phones. any way got some up dates.
I put about 1000 miles on the nova last year after I got it back together....it was flawless . Makes stupid power and was very r elieable, I even did a 400 mile round trip with it on a 90° day and she performed perfect.
so true to being pro tour ( which to me means a car that , can be street driven, long distance, take corners and drag race all in one) I up and decided it was time for a roll cage. I purchased a Chris aliston. chassis works 8pt 8.50 nhra legal cage , also got the optional swing out/removable door bars for normal not at track use. goal this year is to drive it to drags run 9.99 and drive home ( both local tracks are 1.5 hrs away)pp

cage...almost done...

[jasonsnova]

all done with window net, it comes out with side bars, as of now all I have left to do is Install fro t and rear seats and carpet. but.. I'm waiting for a nhra chassis inspector to come certify cage....

[jasonsnova]

I also decided to upgrade the rear end, switching from a strange 31 spine trutrac setup to a yukon 35 spline wavetrac setup with new moser axles. according to quick performance this is the strongest setup available with out going Into a spool
the difference between the old and new is huge ...the yukon is one serious over built piece

I use Flickr app on my phone with the Flickr2BBlite app. The Flickr2BBlite creates the BB code you need to post.

I for one would love to see all the pics associated with this build, the interior with the cage looks super clean.
