I building a 66 Nova, will post up pics soon. I ordered a TCI front clip. Originally ordered it with 350 pound front springs but I recently bought an Iron block 408 with twin turbos so I am think I will need to up those? Any thoughts, would 450 be good/better. Wondering what the extra weight with the iron block and TT with intercooler etc would be. Thanks,

80 lbs from the block; IC will depend on air/water, but i dont have any guesses either way.

sounds like a sick build; wheres the pics?

I've got 450's in my Mav (alum block) and it rides great. RCM (makers of my front clip) wanted me to use 550's, I convinced them to send the 450's and I'm glad it worked out. I'd say you'll be looking for 550's in the end...

TCI makes my front end and they reccomended 450's which is what they would send for a BBC. I guess we will see.

I will post pics soon. Waiting on the front end to come back from the powder coater.

I am running the PT clip and think the should be 300 to 325 but Sal @ TCI wants to test with 350's i have a LS1 and a T56 ...

I will be driving soon !! Ran the Engine today for 30 minutes.

the kit was custom made by 417 motorsports. The hot side has a flange for exhaust cut outs.

TCI sells their own headers, those might be them.
