Budget Build 1970 Nova

[68Formula]

Yep, belt slip happening in the higher RPM range, boost starts to drop. I can’t get a shorter belt so am having a custom sized alternator pulley cut for it and may go up a size from 2.45” on the upper to a 2.55” upper to gain some belt wrap. Car makes enough power for what I want to do with it so just going to sort it out the way it is. Considered going to a dual belt setup but I’m into this setup for enough $$ that I don’t want to ditch it and wouldn’t feel right selling it unless I get it fully sorted.

That's awesome that you at least figured it out.



Finally had a chance to watch it. Very cool ride. Congrats on the recognition!

"Well I got her on the ground and discovered I had a measurement off on my four link brackets that I welded to the rearend. Cut them off today and got new brackets tacked in place,"

Hey Joe can you explain this, I'm always 2nd guessing my measurements when I did my 12 bolt and don't want to replay what you did when its painted and ready to install,

If you’re using the weld on lower control arm/coil over mounts triple check your pinion angle and side to placement. I messed up my side to side by a 1/4” of an inch some how so bought new brackets and started over.

Love home built cars, with all due respect to the shops that do some primo work that help us guys with some dilemma's that we face and cues on how to tackle some stuff.
The car rips- love it! Nothing like a dose of HP in the morning to get your day started when we're hibernating in winters cold. Thanks.

Love this build, absolutely immaculate plumbing, wiring, etc. Truly impressed with how you routed the exhaust over the axle, what size exhaust is that?

Thanks
