      1972 Nova pic

      This is only my second post so i will try not to screw it up. this is my current build. 1972 nova self racing Brodix headed 355/400 turbo (for now), 10 bolt with 4:11 gears,will have s10 blazer rear disc brakes and interior from a 1995 firbird with all auto meter gauges. Im still thinking on the front brake and rear suspension set up as it will see some strip time.

      I will try to take some additional pics this weekend. I'm still in the early stages of the build so a lot deciding which way im going(transmission,suspenison,and etc) are still in order. Going out to SEMA next week so i'm thinking when i leave there i will know the direction i'm going. What i do know is that i will get it running in the form it is now with the 400 turbo,4000 stall and 4:11 gears.I do have the complete rear disc set up from the 98+ blazer and i'm wondering does it space out the rear wheels any?

      I haven't completely mocked up the interior do to a 10 point cage in the car but i plan on using the front seats, rear seats and center console. I have worked a little on the rear bottom's and it looks as though i will use stock rear seat mounts with a little back wall fab work, also i have played a little with the center console and looks to fit perfect but i have the Racing buckets a little close together that are in the car now.

      have a 1968 nova and picked up a 1996 z28 six speed from a friend. was looking for an ls1 but this one came along. still up in the air if I should sell this one and buy ls1. could justify if I grabbed interior partsalso/(original was bench) cars probably not worth much(96 z) as a roller. don't know wha problems I encounter with optispark and 96 computer
