Greetings from the Steelcity
Hello all, My name is Joe and Im from Pittsburgh Pa. I have a 1968 nova. This is my second nova. My first was a 69 that kinda rotted into the ground. I decided instead of requartering and putting in new floors to just go out to arizona and find a clean shell. I hve been trying to keep it close to original but recently a buddy of mine showed me his 71 chevelle pro-tourer which has a ls 408 engine in it and suspension and brakes....Well we went and had some beers and wings...then some more beers. by the time the night was over I was sold. F show cars ..I wanna drive it. All the money Ive spent on date code correct crap an Nos parts I coulda had alot of updates done already.
The nova is very clean .a good jump off point. I kept my 327 out of the 69.Eventually I am sure Ill go Ls powered but for now Ill keep spinning the mighty mouse. It is a 63 small journal 327 with world heads, teamG intake, old Thorley headers, a holley 750, mallory ignition.. back in the 90s it went 11.7 with a tunnel ram 2 450 holleys and a 4.56 gear.
Ill be spraying on it this summer to see what happens. I have an LQ4 4l80 waiting in the wings just in case.
Well I'm rambling on ..can't wait to learn some new tricks for my old dog.

Welcome to the board!
Nice project, let me know if you want suspension.
I could hook you up with a Jake's rod shop front an rear, for a killer price.http://www.jakesrodshop.com/David Sloan
If you’re suggesting sending men with weapons of war to take my weapons of war,then I’m fairly certain that’s what’s called an act of war… and the definition of tyranny.which coincidentally is the reason for the second amendment to begin with!
