Always dreamed about having a old school SBC or BBC powered hot rod. That is why it is tempting.....it is a good base for a project.

I do love the camaro though!!! It is my baby!

Depends on what your intentions are...the 69 won't be comparable in the street to your car. But if your happy just racing it, then the 69 is a good choice. If you want to cruise around more than race, stick with what you have.

Another thing that I consider when comparing new to old is respect from others...always seems like the older cars draw more attention and a lot more respect...just my $0.02.

I want to have a strip car, that I can also cruise. Still have some more stuff to do with the camaro to make it a strip worthly car......i.e. cage, slicks and skinnies.....yada yada yada.

The Nova is already set up to go down the track. Tough choice. I definitely would love to finish the camaro and see it make a wheels up pass!!

Thumbs down

keep it movin forward.the technology in your car is far superior to what you may be trading for.if you insist on trading,i would ask for the credentials of the shop that did the chassis work.ask for more details on the motor.i did not even here of any mention on the type of heads.keep in mind if you choose to trade and then decide to want to race this cal in any heads up class,where will it fall in?sorry for all the constructive critisism,but these come into play.btw, what size driver is the nova set up for?see what i mean.


thanks

btw,im a huge fan of stock suspension cars and symetrical port heads.2 things you will be giving up by trading.i'll stop typing now
