Nova intercooler?
Does anyone have a 68-72 Nova with a front mount intercooler, and would you e-mail/post pics?
Thanks, Steve

It is a real tight fit between the core supt. and grill, just wondering if anyone has some ideas.

I have a set of twin intercoolers for sale that might fit behind the grill, one on each side of the support.
Pictured here with the D1SC kit I am selling.
Did you do any measuring??

I measured in the past and decided to install an air/water setup which cooled the charge well, but ended up leaking around 18psi. I would like to use a air/air, but I will probably have to fab a new core supt. and move the rad. back some-basically have an intercooler as my core supt.!
I thought I saw someone's Nova on this site with a Treadstone cooler and was hoping to find more info.
Thanks, Steve

Your best option may be to mock-up what you can fit and have it built to your specs. I can get you some of the core sizes available and you can go from there.
You'll be 3 1/2 or 4 1/2" thick and would need to decide on vertical or horizontal flow. I still prefer a water to air setup anyday. We build them now for street and strip by having an ice resevoir and a heat exchanger.Dennis

I may just repair my current cooler. The core I'm using is about 6x6x18, so it cools pretty well. I am using a small rad. from a generator as a heat exchanger and a shurflo 2.5gpm pump. I think I may need to get a higher flowing pump though. What do you guys think about the Meziere 136 pump?

I've used the WP136, it is an excellent pump. I've used it in multiple applications without issue.

I have a Treadstone in my project Nova, I havent been on here in a while, taking a break from the car to snowmobile.
The intercooler measure 25" x 6" x 3.5"deep. You have to totally remake the lower part of the core support and ditch the hood latch to bumper bracket. It fits but it is tight.
