Hi to all,
I have a 68 Nova, that has gone through a number of changes in the 9 years of build. It was a one owner 6 std car, never hit, but very rusty.
My first attempt was a SS clone, and a good clone for 5 years. The last 4 years I have been turning it slowly to pro-tour.
The current 406 stroker now has 16,000 miles on it, and my Tremec TKO-600 installed June of 2003, has 11,000 miles on it. The Tremec was the 1st insytall in a Nova, and I have the 7th tranny shipped by Tremec.
Latest addition is the 4 wheel SSBC disk brakes, HAL QA1 adjutables on 4 corners, and Vintage Air II.
Procar seats are on order, and Corvans is working on a dash for the 68, and has asked if I want to trial fit it. The 68 Nova has a unique dash, 69-72 is the common dash.
I hope to learn a lot, and share what I have learnt.
Here is a link to a few pictures, I have thousands, as I have been beating on this beast for 9 years.
On a mild street tune we make 380HP, and 421TQ at the wheels. Aggressive tune can take it past 400HP, and 440TQ, but then its not to friendly with street gas.

nice looking nova. wish the pics were a bit bigger to see it better. looks like you've done a great job so far building it into a pro-tourer.
