He's right....these Nova front ends were designed for a straight 6. Put a heavy V8 in it and it will drive and pull all over the road. We put a mini subframe kit under ours from CPP and it was the best money we spent on the whole car. Sure beats putting a new tube subframe under it...

front end over load All these cars get a tube style tci front with coil overs and power rack set up. I have same front on my twin turbo ls 67 nova and it goes straight as an arrow down road at 120 plus. A lot of research went into this swap to make sure it was safe and driveable. I like to drive my cars a lot!! I plan to drive the wheels off this beast

trans It is a built trans and it also isnt tugging around a 7500lb truck. They actually put a 4l80 in some of duramax 2wd box van. Should be fine not planning on pulling a trailer park behind it just a cooler in the back full of **** tails.

I love the build. Needs way way way more tire. and two stock gn turbos will get it running but I doubt will provide enough cooling for good power. The most I ve been able to get out of two on a 346 is about 800 crank hp at over 6000.
On the upside, theres lots of bigger stuff available that will bolt right on.

It's alive Look for finished pics and a video start up. Will be at the Car Craft Summer nationals in St Paul MN this weekend. If you have never been there it is a awesome show over 5500 cars of all kinds.
