Only about 50 miles on it.

beautiful build, absolutely the best looking body style of the novas built. What accesories are you running on the front of that motor? I have an L92 myself, thinking about the LS3 intake. That rig should bring a lot of smiles.

All F-body acessories including crank pulley and water pump. I used a Autokraft oil pan but a F-body pan would have worked just as well.

Nice job. What did you use for a radiator?

very nice build I bet that is a lot of fun, I really like this body style. Any 1/4 mile times? how much does it weigh?

Jim,
did you delete the VVT?

LS1 TJ

For the radiator I used a Griffin universal with the 1.25 tubes. Good for at least 500 hp. It has a u-shaped flange top and bottom that I welded in mounting blocks for the top and bottom cradle. 16" Spal fan.

No 1/4 mile times yet. Just happy to get a few miles on it. Need to have it tuned.

I did delete the VVT. Used a LS2 timing cover and cam gear for 58 computer.

I still have all the VVT stuff if anyone is interested.

hey man, what kind of paint did you use? that flat black is sick

LS1 TJ

I believe the paint is SEM hot rod black. It's actually paint not just primer. Two part but no clear over the top. Looks good. Sprayed over the existing paint. I didn't have time to do a complete strip and repaint.

Nice car, I'm dream when I get a bigger garage, time and experiance.

how expensive is it and is it hard to spray?

What did you need to use the tremic 5 speed with the LS? What are you using for your clutch, mechanical or juice?

LS1 TJ

In regards to the paint I didn't spray it but it is only a base plus hardener. See this Street Rodder for another version with a matte clear coat. Looks very cool.

As far as the trans I picked thru the Keisler stuff. From Keisler was the TKO 600, bell housing, LS7 clutch and pressure plate, throw out bearing, output shaft. I built the clutch linkage for about $40. Rod ends for the pivots, round tubing for the cross shaft and 3/8"x 1" flat stock for the arms. Couldn't see $300 for the hydraulic setup thou I understand it is nice. Keisler was good about letting me pick and chose.
