Hi guys names jorge in from phx and I joined because u guys have lots of great knoledge here and a lot of great help to me in my build. The kill section was the one that inspired me 2 do a lsx swap on my nova. On to my car its a 74 nova ss that's a work in progress . It has a rebuilt 383 stroker in it right now but in a month or two its goin 2 be powered by a 5.3 vortec. Droppin it in wit a pat g cam, ls1 intake, ported throttle body, long tubes, and a shot of nitrous down the road.

aAZz

yea not alot of people have love for 73-74 nova's. i need to check out ur thread. i wish i could do a little boost as well but funds don't allow it maybe later down the road

Here's the cam. Pretty beefy lol and Yea I'm in the same boat. Wat manifolds r u using? Wat turbo?

iTrader: (31)

me? i may use truck manifolds pointed down, pipe close to the frame, as my turbo will be mounted forward facing directly behind the "SS" in the grille. either manifold or ill build some headers, probably manifolds lol. as for turbo, probably an 80-85mm, t6 frame more than likely, im not 100% yet, i havent mapped out a turbo yet but ill need something in that area, and so far ive bought EVERYTHING off of THIS site lol, my "LS1tech" turbo motor. the cheap way!

aAZz

Yea I want 2 go turbo as well. Don't kno how this cam would be wit a turbo tho lol it'd be like v tec

Welcome

Cool, I got a 73 Nova that we're looking at swapping a 5.3 into as well, no boost just NA but cool to see other guys doing it out there too.

aAZz

Yea I plan 2 keep this n/a as well no funds for boost lol just a big cam. I might bore it out to ls1 specs thp.

likethisinstead

how well do the 5.3 engines stand up to boost? i have a 5.3 iron block (lm7) that i'm swapping into an rx7 with boost in the future as funds permit

Put an LS6 intake on it.. Get some power out of it and it flows a lil better! Nice car and can't wait to see more pics of the swap!
