I love Novas, I have had 34 of them. Looks like it may have started as a 6 cylinder car, will have 113378 on tag instead of 1142 for a V8.

i ran the vin and it is a factory v8 car. and i apologize for the double post! Novas are rare in these parts. salt ate em all.

Fan shroud is from a 6 cyl car. If you have cooling troubles get a V8 shroud and ditch the flex fan for an OEM style.
power front discs is a fairly easy upgrade.
Lots of help at stevesnovasite.com

haha yea im a member at that site. i never really have cooling issues. 185-190 cruising. gets a little warmer in traffic but not too bad. i have been looking for a v8 fan shroud for a while now tho. i just have a Elec fan and a toggle switch on the opposite side of rad for when sitting in traffic for now. it also has a aluminum 4 core radiator too.


i have 3/4 of a disc brake conversion kit. just need the master cylinder and prop valve. its brand new kit. i will get around to swapping it some day its just that the manual drum brakes arent that bad really.

Nice looking car, I love Nova's.
I have a 66 I've been building over the last year.

 

[xx94Z71xx]

yea me too! the motor thats going in my 94 silverado was originally in my uncles 67 nova that we raced at the track. it was a cool car, but was stripped for drag racing. got any pics of your 66?

Here's the build thread as of now. Still a lot I want to do. Wheels and tires should be the next thing .
