      (2) left manifolds from an LS4. Found in the the Monte SS, Pontiac GXP, Buick Lacrosse Super. 2.5" on the hot pipes, 3.5" on the downpipe all the way back.

      Will be making some good progess in the next few weeks, temporary satin black paint, install drivetrain, interior etc. More updates SOON!

      Well I get a little sidetracked with snowmobiling in the winter. It should be going in for paint in a couple weeks, then on to assembly.

      98-02 Camaro/Firebird 12" rotors, calipers, and caliper brackets. Machine the OD of the stock drum hub down until it fits inside the rotor. I bought the brackets to mount the caliper bracket to the stock spindle on the net somewhere, I cant remember where. You can make you own out of 1/4" plate steel.

      There is a member here, I think he goes by zman1969, that sells the bracket. I bought a set from him for my 67 Firebird brake set up (from a wrecked 01 WS6 Firebird)

      So did you use front and rear brakes and rotors off a camaro/firebird? I'm sure that is a cheaper alternitive than using c5/c6 brakes. I think I'm going to start to search for some Camaro/firebird brakes. You have one sweet Nova there!

      Fronts are 98-02 F body LS1-easy to adapt for cheap
      Rears are 98-02 Blazer/Jimmy-easy to adapt for cheap-get the backing plate brackets from the junkyard as they can be easily adapted to a 12 bolt etc to mount the calipers.

      Waiting for my painter to get some time. Still deciding on 69 fathom green or later model GM truck dark green.

      In the meantime I setup my BUDGET guage cluster. total cost-$200
      GPS is the speedo and handy for the navigation.
