1971 Chevy nova

this is my project 1971 chevy nova. It has an original date stamped 1969 350 in it. hoping to rebuild soon... anyways its a rust free car almost ready for paint and ill post videos as time goes by.

UPDATE: 01/09/10 Sorry for the lack of videos. after investigating further, i realized that this car needed to be restored the RIGHT way. Currently the Frame, control arms, and sway bar are off to powder coat. all the body panels have been sand blasted to bear metal, smothed with minimal bondo, and painted with primer and sealer. whats left is to assemble the front end, mount the fresh 383 and saginaw 456, send to paint, and redo interior. who knew how much work is involved.....

sounds kill, hope the resto goes good , if the paint is half as good as it sounds should be awesome

@mrbill672 Well it should sound alot better with the internally balanced 383, the old motor was garbage and had different compression numbers in all cylinders so when the funds were big enough i decided to yank it.

Pretty sweet dude...I'm 16 too n i have a

'71 with a 350 also...the only thing that sucks is its a 4 door but its still pretty kickass

@noowaytodothat Any old car from the era will get respect. period.

About how much money have you put into the engine? Exhaust?

@fastcarful This nova still isn't done! i have other means of transportation so i've been taking my time doing everything the right way. its as of right now a frame off restoration. You can say goodbye to the 350, with enough money saved up i was able to build a 383.

[fastcarful]

nice nova, you have a beautiful car there. 69 350 is a good motor,especially if you have the DZ block! that motor sounds good(healthy), but i'd rebuild it. but i bet it will outrun that "383 stroker malibu @sww1608" the way your motor runs now!
