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?

Unless you have or can get GM documentation proving there were at least 50 cars built like that by GM, you have no place to start.

As I understand it, GM built 173 LT-1 Nova's of which 170 went to Yenko and that an individual in Canada has 2 that didn't go to Yenko

If there was 175 LT1 novas made under a copo what makes them different than the 427 chevelles? Thanks Jerry

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.
