THIS IS MY 72 NOVA STOCK TRANS, REAR (3:08), 86 350 TRUCK MOTOR STOCK INTERNALS. Pictures were taken at EL MIRAGE about six months ago.I purchased this car about two and ahalf years ago for $1,000 the car had been sitting for more than 12 years I towed it home topped off all the fluids and threw in a new battery and a little gas and she fired first turn, hey its a CHEVY! I plan on updating new pics soon so check back i promise long smokey burnouts!!!

About 110 mph, you can still get a speeding ticket on a dry lake bed

Upcoming engine upgrades include the following: cam, straight cut gears , 1.7 ratio roller rockers, new carb main body, electric water pump, and possibly head work;port matching & polishing; 3 angle valve job & bigger valves I'm hoping to make around 430 horse.

This is the third engine in two years and the least powerfull. Started out as a longblock I purchased from pomona for $700 I then added an edelbrock performer intake, gm alluminum valve covers, mallory hei, and a way to big mechanical secondary 750cfm holley double pumper, then it all comes out through hedman headers 2.50" back to the flomaster one chambers.

The blue wheels were just to be different, cragers have since replaced them. Other changes include stripping the car to bare metal and adding a coat of sealer, no rust! Will soon update pictures of the car as it sits now.
