Thanks Jimbo1367 & Cam. Trying to come up with different ideas & try to make the dash look even , not louver on left side of gauges & ac/ heat control on right side of gauges. Still trying to buy more parts but holiday is taking over. Hope everyone have a Happy Holiday & thanks for checking the Nova out.

more parts Got a 2001 Chevy S 10 Blazer overhead console. I'll be getting a roll of the seat materials from Scat to cover any carpet shown on console & recover the door panels , package trays , kick panels & headliners. Also a BW S366'S turbos should be here after I leave for work. Hopefully will get a 4" steel cowl hood @ Super Summit next weekend , for mock up & clearance issues with hood bracing.

pics 2 BW S366
2 T4 flange
2 air filter
2 -10 oil drain
1 V band clamp down pipe , the other will come next week
Making a bridge to hold turbos under the hood so I can see if it will close the hood.

I Google KB racing turbo log headers & that popped up with info & pictures , so I went thru pics & found that & I called him & talked 2 him. He's gonna be gone out of state for a mth on a job & vacation deal. It's $475 or $500 shipped to u & he said that he lowers the flange 1" to clear the hood. Hope this helps.

I love it! It looks killer, I got a couple questions for ya though, those fender braces, I think I want em.... they look like a tie rod style, where did u get em if ya don't mind me asking, and the radiator closeout panels, are those from undercover innovations? Did you notice any difference with them on, other than looking great, and your brakes, are they manual brakes? Idk a lot about brakes, and I'm working on a hydroboost conversion on my Nova. Looks great though!

radiator What do u guys think about having a rear mounted radiator ???? It sure would clean up the front alot & more room for a2a intercooler , ac condenser & tran cooler ??? It's mainly gonna be a cruiser & in early & fall cooler weather to drag race it.

I need to keep an eye on this one. Its not too often I see someone else trying to modernize a Nova. I plan on mounting my 10' tablet in the dash to run everything. It'll be hooked to a 2-channel amplifier to control the speakers (left and right banks only). Getting it to control my AC will be tricky but certainly not impossible.
I like what you did with the gauge cluster. My stock one is in pieces and I either need to take a shot at making a new one or buy one and then do my modifications from there.
BTW, you said thats a Unisteer rack? I've been looking at their stuff, but the mounting on their racks is much much different than what yours looks like. These mount up higher and onto the back of the control arm mounting bracket so that the pivot point is parallel with the control arm pivots for zero bump steer. But it'll cost me $850 for complete rack and U-joint setup and I've already spent WAY too much on the suspension.
