Beautiful car man! Excellent choice! One of my favorite body styles for sure, and the stance is awesome!

[derekf]

Nice.

Is there a benefit to bringing the air from the intercooler into the hat from the back, or is just an appearance thing?

disclaimer: I don't know anything about force induction engines(and a lot of other stuff).

Why is the intake mounted backwards with the pipes plumbed around it?

With the radiator completely eclipsed by the air to airs, does cooling capacity go to hell as charge temps increase?

Killer car, some times I kick my self for passing on a 67 nova for my 67 RS. Thanks

Oh, for ****s sake Derekf! That was my question.

Having the throttlebody and such mounted around the back doesn't do anything but make for a cleaner install. The Twin tubes from the IC are nice and symetrical, and you're not staring at the TB, linkage, sensors, etc.


Yes having the IC mounted in front of the radiator makes it quite a bit harder on the cooling system. Normally you should venture on the bigger side for the radiator and make sure there are massive fans on it, as there is very very little airflow through it till you're up at highway speeds.


Great looking car.

killer work so far! cant wait to see it completed!

The throttle body elbow has a couple degrees down angle and was causing a problem with the waterneck.

[va72mlibu]

I would do unspeakable things with that car

[datsbad]

Shay , How was the quality of that glass body? Did it require much work to get it to look like metal?

Looks Badass!!!

[restomodbird69]

all i can say is da** that is nice

[DJ Mabe]

Does everyone on this site have more money than me!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I remeber why I stayed away from here. Beautiful car dude. I think I'm going outside to kick mine now.:hammer:

[novanutcase]

Shay? Is the chassis all custom made? I thought the front end looked kind of like one of Chris Alstons although the shock mounts look different.

[73z-6sp]

WOW! That is one awesome Nova! What nice work. That must be fast?!!


I feel so inferior right now. :(

hahaha, thats how I feel.

that nova is beautiful, great job. I'd love just to have a motor like that.

[Samckitt]

That is awesome. I wonder though, why did you run two tubes from the intercoolers to the throttlebody instead of joining them close to the coolers & run one tube to the front side, instead of looping it around to the back?

[jpdeuce]

Wow that looks good! What type front and rear suspensions are you using?
Keep us posted.

I think you missed post #12 where it reads why that was done.

datsbad- The body was pretty well in good shape to start with.

jpduece- The control arms in the front and custom made and the rear is a fab 9 tri-4 bar. No alstone stuff

[MrQuick]

Just awesome Shay, as usual. Lets see...glass body, lightened frame etc...faster than Camaro? But just AS red! LOL

Can't wait to see it finished.

[TRILOGYZ28]

JUST SIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!:hail: :hail:

[nitrorocket]

How much power? You have 3000 hp worth of intercooler there??

[Shayc5]

700-800 low boost 1200-1500 wick turned up

[ssx]

Now I remember why my first "Rod" was a 66' Nova. Damn that car is beautiful.

[hotrodgary]
