My dad used to tell me "the harder they fight the sweeter they will be when done." We know your Nova looks great and bet it will run strong. Thanks again for taking us along on your journey.

Tim, I have a feeling your dad will be right.

Todd, it's been obvious by the intensity you've had on this build that you like "Gitten 'er done".
I'm sure you're more than aware that engines can take time, and Murphy's Law can be the general culprit.
In my own case, I find that everyday life pushes me hard. When I'm in my garage, I slow down and enjoy.

BTW, I'm jealous of you; that's a great shop to build an engine in! lol

Dave, It's quite an experience. I literally have a 2500hp lambo engine being built to my right and a set of Aussie 400" pro stock heads being done to my left. I'm learning a little about a lot.

Scraper and windage tray are on for the last time, oil pump is on, cam is in and degreed, checking fit on the valley tray and breathers. Second set of rockers are here.

Stayed at work late and got the rear rims done, since there's no polish or chrome anywhere this is what we went with. Before and after, what you think?
