Looks like a great build. There is a guy on here with a Nova it has a stock 6.0l hand ported heads, and a big frame 76mm and he's running 8's.

Thanks. Yeah I defintly have looked over his thread many times . I actually ordered a cam from him a few weeks ago . I can only hope to run as fast as stock48 does. Lol!!

Here's my previous setup . 468ci glide 4.10's pump gas. 8.53 in the 1000 ft. Just no comparison to a turbo Ls though. I had more fun in my turbo fairmont than I did with this setup.

Well did some easy fab work today nothing special. But the guy that owned the car before me for some reason cut the core support outta the car so I built another kinda simple
but should work fine. Even got it powder coated . Lol!!!

Looks great. Just convinced my buddy to put a 6.0/4l80e combo in his 74 Nova. Where did you get your mounts from?

Twin turbo c5

Thanks. There just stock mounts bolted to a adapter plate I got off eBay seems to fit real nice. And I just made the trans crossmember myself outta some scrap stainless .

Got a crossmember made today for the 80e I just used some scrap pieces laying around tha shop seems like it'll work well and still have Clearance
for the 4 inch dp.

Thats awesome, do you have a link to the plate?

Twin turbo c5

Here's a pic that I took of the the adapter plates I'm using there's alot of different kind but these put the motor just where it needs to be and low enough you can use a truck intake with a stock hood.

I wish I had gotten the Holley Dom. orig., since it would control a trans also
I got a deal on the HP, so I got that-had to buy a controller when I swapped out the 400 for the 80e-i spent a good part of the summer learning to program FI since I had blowthru carbs b4, so prob learning to program the trans would have added to it, lol
I love the data log ability of the Holley, pretty much you can look at everything possible on the engine
should be a cool project when your done

Twin turbo c5

Yeah I'm kinda still learning on the efi stuff too . Ive had blow thru's for years. But I'm gettin alot better on efi. I think the holley setup will be a good change coming from megasquirt stuff but it has served me well on my fairmont.

Good thing I got the hook up on stainless !! This downpipe is a plumbers nightmare!! But it should sound good with 4 inch all the way to the back. Still haven't decided on what mufflers to run though.

Hook me up!

I really don't want mine under the car though.......
Trying to figure out if I can go out low on the pass side fender, but the damn tire is in the way.
