77 Nova 6 with stick - Page 2

What brand of converter is about like what oil... what ever the person is running is the best in their eyes!

I have a couple of ATI's and have been happy with their service. You do see a lot of stockers with ATI stickers.
There are several other good ones out there, including some of the people responding on here.
Good luck

I here diffrent opinions about the 305 in the 77 nova . Some say it's not worth worth the trouble . The 6 cyl that came in it has that ****ty intrigal cyl head and is useless . I think the 350 has been done to death 1000 times over and over . may be a diffrent combo ? All togeather .

Well, if you're going to do a late Nova, you're pretty much stuck with a 6, a 305 2V or a 350. If you're hearing "different opinions" about the 305 2V being a good combo then either you're willing to spend more than I would be (a Dime) to build a combo, you want to build a "fast" combo or you're listening to the wrong people!

I won't go into my rant here to encourage you or anyone else to do anything. But I remember the same "opinions" about the 305 4-bbls when they were at 230.

Billy, you're a bit harsh there, no?!?!

Well, maybe I should tone down my typing finger a little bit. Vinnie, no offense. The 2V 305 IS a good combo.

Vinnie , If a decent Malibu wagon can go .9 under in Q, R ,and T, then a budget Nova with the same exact drive train @ the same exact weight should run a nickel under without too much trouble.
I would tell your friends with the opinions to come on here and make a few clicks of the mouse. All that info is just a few clicks away at DRC.

How'd I do , Dwight, Billy?

I spoke to Vinnie the other day and he said he was looking for a combo to set a record with, what I told him was that with the Mustang's, Cadillac's and Chevy pickup's in the same classes the 305 2v was not a good combo to set records. Hope that clears things up a little.

Makes sense alright..
Better chance of setting a record would be with a lower class stick car, or FWD.
MY opinion!

Mark Yacavone · 01-16-2015, 09:40 PM

Just thinking..with those parameters..Keep looking for a 302 2v car.
