1972 Nova project

[fctrywrkr]

Here's my 1972 Nova project. Solid car I got from my dad whose had it a while. 130k miles. 350/350 for now. I'll update as we build it. I'm back and forth on suspension. I want the car to be a nice driver and street car. However, I still enjoy weekend drag strip trips as we have a ton around here.

Plans for now are along this track, subject to change at a moments notice b/c I'm indecisive as hell.

Engine/Trans:




5.3 LM7 ran thru Megasquirt Goldbox
Tick performance boost cam
LS6 intake manfold
up and foward turbo manifolds
either single BW s475 or twin s366's
4L80e


Suspension:

Honestly, I'm torn here... got it narrowed down, feel free to provide input.




DSE quadralink or Ridetech system
DSE front package on stock subframe or Ridetech system
17x11/8 wheel setup (DSE minitubs to accomdate)
9" rearend

that nova is a pretty clean starting point for a project, trying to talk my son into getting one.

its very clean. wouldve had a hard time finding another one this clean without finding a fully restored one. plus, i got a helluva deal :)
