Budget Build 1970 Nova
Have been a long time lurker/member finally pulling the trigger on a build. Set a budget of $30K to get the car running and driving. Picked this car up for $3,800 about three years ago and has been sitting in the garage while i was working on other projects and trying to decide what I wanted to do. Pulled the trigger on all the parts within the last month.
Parts list is as goes picked up an allegedly 17K mile L92 6.2 aluminum block 821 heads, came with VVT delete parts from Texas Speed new in the box, LS3 intake, bought a 102mm Holley Sniper throttle body for it, Holley Terminator X, Holley 12.3'" pro dash. New Tremec close ratio t56 magnum, Ram Billet steel flywheel, McLeod RST dual disc, McLeod hydraulics and pedal assembly, Speedway Motors Fabricated 9" narrowed to 56" with Currie 31 spline axles, Speedway Motors Nodular 3rd member with 3.50 gears and Powertrax Gear type posi. Holley Sniper EFI Fuel tank with 400 LPH pump. Will be using stock subframe and stitch welding the seams. ridetech complete HQ coil over system with Truturn and new Borgeson steering gearbox, Wilwood master cylinder, Wilwood Forged Superlite 6 piston 12.88"two piece rotors fronts, Wilwood Forged Superlite 4 piston 12.88" two piece rotors rears. ridetech parts and rear brakes should be here tomorrow.
Will be ordering DSE Mini Tubs, DSE smooth firewall panel, will make my own trans tunnel modifications. still need to order engine mounts, trans crossmember and mount, oil pan and headers.
For now the plan is to leave the body as is and install a new vinyl top and maybe matte clear the car for now. still undecided on wheels going to lean toward something budget friendly.
