No...it's just an accessory drive belt. Just means no alternator, no power steering, no A/C, and no water pump. As long as it didn't overheat to high heaven, then it should be fine.

Shouldnt be... Timing is run by a chain under the front cover.. Only thing I would be worried about is that you burnt the water pump, then drove for an hour home....

Jamin, need anything let me know. The garage here is pretty empty now without a project.. Working on getting a couple cars in for some extra cash, but there is always room. Gotta love 7 car garages.

I cant wait to see it run either... I have always loved the Novas, more so the Nova dueces...

I got a few photos of the "burnout box" I should post up... Nice little rough patches in the slick concrete floor.. And a video of me making it that way, but gotta edit out the plate. Dont have the software for that.... Wish I could post that one up..

7 car garage eh? How do I get me one of those? Good job with the driveway!

Ryan, I think 97LT1TA sig pic shows the car in front of the other members house? BTW if this isn't the same car that RPM WS6 and myself are thinking of then please pardon the confusion.

But if it is, I'd be interested in the story on it. Haven't heard anything about it in a few years now.

BTW, sorry to your thread TC...

Yep, that's Chris' old house. I was under the impression that the car was sold as a roller. Not sure what happened after that. But I'd like to know as well.
