LT1 Nova

my69396 · 09-14-2008, 03:05 PM

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.

I would rather be allowed to use the Edelbrock heads like others are allowed to use,and the horsepower rating can stay the same.Thanks.

You will need GM to OFFICIALLY submit that to the guys at NHRA.
