That is an awesome car JP

Sometimes I wish we had bought the Viper Jeff Teuton has for sale

We were going to run A/S

However - we could not have asked for a better car or better results in the first year

Good thing MOPAR built a race ready complete car and my boy can drive a lick

Turning the Viper into a competitive A/S car would have taken a long time


:-) peace

I first intended to build a stocker, but I soon realized it was a bad idea...
Jeffs car was not a Stocker or a Super Stocker, it needed a lot of engine, trans development to be a SS Eliminator car (NHRA)...
You already have a SS engine in your Stocker :-) and you know that!

I'll have a new SS/EA 1970 Nova 375hp-402 my own chassis design and fabrication. We have been doing our Horsepower homework and I would like to "Thank the Instructors" Jimmy Bridges, Chris Stewart, Gordon Merkley and the gang at Reher-Morrison. I will hopefully be testing at Mission Raceway in April-May. I am really looking forward to meeting everyone. Good Luck to all in 2012.

Soon ready for a race track :-)

Plan is to have the old monte carlo back up and running latter this summer.
Holben's 97 firehawk will suprise some people too. Brian Hummell

Maurice,,, welcome to the forum,,,looking forward to seeing this combo at Mission, hopefully in May at the Lordco event. I'm curious to see how everything fits under a flat Nova hood. I sure wish Chevrolet would've used a Cowl Induction hood on Novas back in the day, but they didn't. Theres a racer down here whos been eyeballing a similar combo in his '69 Nova for SS/FA.
Good luck with your project,,, you've got some good names helping you out, take care.

Danny... I have heard rumors of another "West Coast" Nova. Is it just "eyeballing"or is it in process. I had quite a set back in Oct. 2011, after picking the car up from the body shop (after a 9 month wait), I figured we'd take the car out to Mission to weigh it, before assembly. The car broke loose in the trailer and completely demolished the front end (still hurts), although extremely happy with the weight. The body damage was finished in Jan. 2012 and went to "painters prison" to be completely repainted 2 weeks ago. I'm hoping to get it back this week. I have waited along time to put this program in place, it represents years of huge homework and 2 years of spare time in the construction alone. I have met some incredible people since I initiated the project. I know that Chevrolet should have ordered a larger carburetor for this combination back in those days, because we'd be making power past 9000 RPM today (hood?). The car also is set up for a manual transmission and small block, than you can use a hood scoop and take most of the weight out.

Maurice,, the car I'm referring to is in progress,, back half is done, suspension is in, wheels and tires are here, so its a roller. Pieces are being picked up, although slowly, since funds are a little tight for the young man right now, but his resolve is still in the direction of a 375/396 combo.
You mention a hood scoop on a small block-stick setup for yours, but I don't know of any traditional SS class with a Nova where a hood scoop would be legal.
Sorry to hear about your setbacks,, can't wait to see the finished product.
