LT1 Nova
 
If I wanted to build a 70 nova with a LT1 where would i start to get the combination legalized for stock. Seems to me that would be a killer combo. What do you think? Thanks Jerry.

I saw this old listing on Racing junk that might be a good combo for my 442 in E/SA.What do you think?

Fresh Jenkins 500cid DRCE Olds engine.GM drce heads. Drce block.Titanium valves. Comp valve springs and titanium retainers. Comp cam. Jesel lifters, belt cam drive and belt dist. drive. GRP rods, Callies crank. Moroso dry sump 4 stage. Engine is complete carbs to dry sump. Carbon fiber valve covers, ATI damper. Engine parts have dyno time only on them. The valve springs, rods & bearings are new. Engine came from Bill Orndorff and Jerry Eckman when they were running the Pennzoil Pro Stock Car.

Unless you have or can get GM documentation proving there were at least 50 cars built like that by GM, you have no place to start.

As I understand it, GM built 173 LT-1 Nova's of which 170 went to Yenko and that an individual in Canada has 2 that didn't go to Yenko

If there was 175 LT1 novas made under a copo what makes them different than the 427 chevelles? Thanks Jerry
