A new project

[Kevin@W2W]

My names Kevin, and it might be a sin, but I'll take that bet, you're gonna regret, cuz I'm faster than thats ever been!--losely quoted

Isn't this the stock straight six with a dress up kit!

I'm so going to OWN you KEVIN!

hahaha! Bring it women;)



These are the units that have made their way into a few magazines in the past few months.

I'll get some wieght figures and other information this morning. The head units are very light compared to others I have seen.

[Kevin@W2W]

I couldn't help myself....

Kevin of W2W went down to Florida, he was looking for a car to steal.
He was in a bind 'cos he(the devil)was way behind: he was rushin’ to make the deal.
When he came across this young man sawin' on a Pontiac and makin' it hot.
And the devil jumped upon a shop stool and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a car builder too.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you run a pretty good builder, ol boy, but give W2W their due:
"I bet my Nova of mold against own, 'cos I think I'm quicker than you."
The boy said: "My name's Kevin to and it might be a win,
"But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm faster than that's ever been."

Kevin warm up your motor and race your f-body hard.
'Cos the devil my brake loose in Florida or the Nova may hook up hard.
And if I win I’ll get his dingy Nova made of mold.
But if I lose, the devil gets my car.

The devil opened up his trailer and he said: "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his exaust tips as he revved up his stocker?.
And he pulled the car into the lane and it made an evil hiss.
Then a stab of the gas and the smoke started to pour, I started to think holy ****.
When the devil finished, Kevin said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son.
"But if you'll sit down in that seat, right there, and let me show you how its done."

Fire up those engines, run boys, run.
The devil's in the land of the startin gun.
Devil in the left hand, Kevin in the right hand.
"Kevin, will your tires bite?"
"God I hope so!"

Then Kevin bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
He laid the keys to that Firebird on the ground at the devil’s feet.
The Devil said: "Kevin just come on back if you ever want to try again.
"I told you once, you dumb young gun, I'm the baddest six cylinder that's ever been."

As he prayed to fire up the motor, and run boy, run.
The devil's in the winnin lane again.
Kevin in the left hand watchin him go.
"Kevin, will your tires bite?"
"God I’d hoped so!"

Isn't this pic of the stock straight six with a pretty blue dress up kit on it?

I'm so going to OWN you KEVIN!

Too funny

But yet another classic example of the nice guy finishing last again:(

[DJW32]

That motor is beautiful. W2W

[ProTeal55]

Awesome setup

[Kevin@W2W]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

We have started work on the Nova.
Feel free to check the page for some updates.

So far so good huh.....that car looks to be very solid. that Wilson manifolds elbow is badass......I am assuming the turbo plumbing is going to go inside the car?? What are you going to run for intercoolers?? air to air....Air to water?

[Kevin@W2W]

The car is really solid, not too much replacing at all besides the floor patches and the panel underneath the rear windo.

The intercooler system will consist of two air to water units and use a Precision Turbo elbow rather than the Wilson. All plumbing will remain under hood and our preliminary plans are pretty trick although the may change down stream a bit.

the only reason I asked if it was going to go inside is because it looked as though it would be the way the elbow was facing.....plans always change downstream....lol mine sure have anyway

[Kevin@W2W]

Always have to allow for change. lol

Looking at the pics it makes sense to run through the firewall like some of the big drag cars but we want to keep everything stealthy so we will do something a little different. It is in theory right now but looks like it may work.

[NvrDun71]

Can't wait to see the end result Kevin.... Should be an awsome car once complete. I have never really seen a high dollar top notch build out of one of the 68-72 bodystyle Nova's, but have always wanted to see one. Def keep us posted on the progress of tha car....

[dhardison]

Here are a few pics of the motor and kit which will be used in the Nova. Just arrived back from Sema today.

All I can say is WOW!!! I can't wait to see some progress!

Kevin, Your product page states that the Rotrex C38-71 twin kit won't fit in an F-body. Being that the '68-'74 Novas front subframe are so similar to the '67-'69 F-body, how do you plan on shoehorning that gorgeous assembly in the Nova?

Dan

[vanzuuk1]

What a cool car!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'll make sure to keep posting updates as I we progress.

Dan, The F-body that poses a problem is the late model LS1 F-body. The hoodline will not clear the bracket.

Our dual kit is designed more for the engine swap crowd.

[Kevin@W2W]

A little more progress has been made. Since I thought the set up was very cool I thought I would post these pictures in the tread so they would be a little larger.

The twins appear to have no hood line issues.



After quite a few ideas for packaging the intercooler set up the wasted space between the fender and the firewall has been converted.




Here is the intercooler mock up for the drivers side.



Next update should be cage and suspension

[Travis B]

very cool.....those should be completely hidden once the fenders are installed very nice!

[B Cichocki]

Those look like air/air intercoolers (excuse me if they're not). If so, how do you plan on getting adequate airflow? Just curious since I'm wondering if I'm going to have enough airflow for the front-mount in my car.

-Brian

[B Cichocki]

Never mind...just saw they're air to water.

[MrQuick]

Looks good Kevin, keep up with the updates please. There is alot of clean air flow in them cowls, thats where the vents gets its air flow from. Clean high pressure from the base of the windshield.

What frame mounts are you using?

[69Nova]

Wow that looks nice. Are those the DSE body mounts?
