Picked up an 1969 Nova from my buddy Travis. This was his car in high school and has been sitting in his garage for the passed 9 years. It had a 4 bolt 350 and TH350 before.


first time out of the garage since circa 04'














L92 got her stripped down with all the truck stuff off. time for a thorough cleaning of the block, removal of the heads, and LS3 conversion. going with a prosystems carb and 6LS box. cam is coming from LG motorsports.














hoping this is the end result

my L92 came with a 6L80E from a yukon, however it has a transfer case on it for awd.

anyone know where I could sell it and how much its worth ? has 36k miles on it. I heard the TBSS guys use them as a upgrade ?

Pure84GTT

playing the waiting game now for parts.

went with the canton swap pan

what are people using for the mounts ?

Pure84GTT

MSD 6012, canton x body swap pan, and vic jr are here.



canton pan doesn't seem to be fitting with the oem windage tray, the rear to main studs seem to be hitting the back of the pan

I removed one of the heads last night and inspected the cylinder, they look great and show little signs of wear. though it does have low miles it looks as though the previous owner slacked on oil changes.




now taking them to my buddy TC's shop for inspection and some clean up work on the ports.

Dirty Dingo for mounts.

For some reason I can't see the pics. Dirty Dingo is a good choice for mounts, though it's pretty easy to fab your own.

If you're serious about not wanting to go AWD (which I think would be pretty sick), hit the Performance Trucks side of this site and toss the TC on the classifieds there.

Good luck with the build. There's a ton of info in the x-body swap thread.

Im pretty darn serious about not going AWD lol

but I admit that would be very cool

Lg g6x3

get ready for some serious lifter noise. i'm interested to see what it makes on the dyno when you're done. depending on what you're doing with the car I'd think about talking to pat g instead. I'm a little underwhelmed with my g6x3 setup.
