Default My L/S Nova Build

my '72

the beginning.


added yenko stripes.


the golf cart was feeling left out,so it got some yenko stripes also


10 point cage with swingouts installed...what looks like rust is actually old tape residue...there is no rust on the car...also the car is going to be WAY past the cert on this cage. so its going to have to get atleast a 25.5


468ci bbc


old motor out..this pic was taken about 30 secs after i pulled the motor out. all wiring will be reran and cleaned up when the car comes back from the chassis shop


project waiting for its new parts


new 10" cowl hood came in.


new subframe


subframe put back together and powder coated


at the chassis shop


subframe installed




new intake from Mr. Jeff Prock



the new motor for the car should be going on the dyno next week. Its a 621ci engine. i also need to get some new pics of the car. the last ones are alittle over a month old. im hoping to have the car ready by early spring.

i will throw some more pics up as i get them.

going to start off pretty small, with a 275. but it wont be there for long. i have 3 tune ups from Jeff. ranging from 275 to 400. then once everything is lined out prolly alittle more.I'm not in a rush thou. this is a completely new car from the bullet to the chassis to the etc,etc....

the car is at the chassis shop currently getting minitubbed for the 315's, ford 9" with 40 spline gundrilled axels and strange 3rd member with ladder bars,chute mount, window net, motor plates, engine bars,new subframes. and there is a bunch more i just cant think of it off the top of my head. i am heading out there this week to drop off some stuff so i should have some more pics then.

I love this car!I see your not far from me and would love to see it race in person.Whenever you take it to the track post it up so I can see it!

I go to midnight madness almost every friday they have it.It's what I am building my car to play in.Nothing like yours though.


Badass simply badass!

i would have to look. i got a bunch of stuff from jeff at the same time. so it was mixed in with a bunch of parts.

they are not inexpensive thou. but i had an applied nitrous tech fogger on my last stang. and it worked flawlessly. Jeff's service and willingness to always help with the tunes while we were racing is what led me to go nitrous on this motor instead of doing the procharger like i had originally planned.
