Re: 75 Nova U/SA
Yeah, I found a lot of small things and issues with parts fitting etc during the build, good luck on yours.

Re: 75 Nova U/SA
The engine was a decent piece I got from fellow race Joe Huestis who had run it in a Monza (thanks Joe). It already had a bullet cam and schubeck lifters. Billy Plage (thanks Billy) freshened and updated with a few newer parts. I believe it to be a pretty good piece, haven't had enough runs to shake everything down.

Re: 75 Nova U/SA
Will be in U/SA @3470, can also run T @ 3305. Depending on the grill/year, it can run a 350 2v, 350 4v, and a 305 2v. You know me, I'd really like to try a stick!

Re: 75 Nova U/SA
Good job, Mike
I see some of that "Cincinnati rust' had to be taken care of. What does the converter flash to?... and how much brake stall can you get out of it? You would have been lucky to find one with the stator configuration that car's gonna need. Call Kenny Ford at PTC and give him the numbers. Tell him I said to call. He'll get it dialed in for your combo . Good luck!

Re: 75 Nova U/SA
Mike has done an outstanding job on this project working on a budget. When he was testing at VMP in Dinwiddie, he had several folks come over and check out his car. It catches attention cause it's different. Not your everyday type stocker.
