1972 Nova project
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
