!!lets See All The Novas!!!

[Hemi Nova]

Tim, after reading your signature I think you owe us a few, no, lots of pictures of your '72's engine compartment. And the story of how you wound up with a Keith Black Hemi in your Nova wouldn't hurt either.

All in the need to go faster!
My partners and i determined you can build a blown alcohol Hemi cheaper than you can build a blown big block Chevy. After destorying a few sets of cylinder heads on our blown small block we decided to look at a new motor combination and we ended up with the Hemi.
If you go through my Webshots page you can see the transformation of my Nova from a daily driver to a blown Outlaw 10.5 racecar.

It started as a daily driver with a 350 and a 4 speed. (1990)


Then it got another small block with 2 stages of NOS. (1995)


Then a back half and a blown and injected small block. (2000)


Then the Hemi. (2002)


The car now has a blown big block, another buddy owns this motor and he is currently driving the car.


I would like to thank (I think) Bobby Johnson for inspiring me back in the early 90's with his orange Nova that he raced in the NMCA Super Street class.
