BBC 505/Nitrous SS Nova - Suspension etc Build
Hey guys, figured I would make a build thread. Ive owned this car for 16 years, paid $50 for it, rescued it from a creek bottom. Previous owner gutted the entire car to build a 34` coupe out of the parts. Dumbass.
Current looks^, the car spent the last few years as a 362CI small block chevy, t56 and nittos. Ran a best of 12.7@108 in this way. Very mild motor, but the car hooked well and beat a lot of cars on the street it "Shouldn't have" I spent about every dime I made on my gto and this car sat patiently in the garage waiting for me to come to me senses haha. Well I sold the gto and now its time the car got some Love!
The new mod List:
505 CI BBC
289 casting 454 block +.100 bore
Scat 4340 crank and super comp rods
Wiesco 10.5:1 forged pistons
Dart pro 1 heads

1000CFM King Demon carb
Crower custom grind cam 260/270 .650/.658 on a 107 W LSX Firing order
