Default so i decided to get another car....

in a few months hopfully by the end of the summer.... and IM havign a hard decision between a 63 nova or a 72..... i like the 72 for looks and the 63 for the weight and how light it is... but i dont know. i don t want to run 7s or anythign just a fun streeet/strip 10-11 second car... any input i know its my car in teh end but any feedback problems with one and not the other... Also i dont know if this is right but would i have to tubb the 63 nova if i start gettgin down into 10's?.... any feedback would be great. im just excited ot have a new project in the works...

First and second gen Novas don't have very good front suspensions. I love the 66-67 body style but if you want to make it a racer I would go with the 68-72. They use the same front sub frame as a 67-69 Camaro and Firebird, and have more room in the engine compartment in case you want to go BB.

Go to this forum and ask around. and check out the for sale section

i think im goign to go small block.. im gogin for a budget build... get into the high 10s low 11s... I dont know for sure about going big block... throw some good heads cam bolt ons and suspensioin... and maybe some juice for fun...

and yes john 666 mike had the red nova i think.. or maybe it was a red86iroc stroker.. but it was koo i liked it ... bu im just not toatlly liking the body style of the 63's they are too short looking to me i dunno what it is...



Quick Reply: so i decided to get another car....
