Thanks for posting these pictures of your build. I will more than likely follow your use of C6 manifolds on my twin turbo build in my '69 Nova.

The dyno day was cut short and only made it to 8# boost. 515 RWHP at that point. On a side note a last second decision to race it this weekend at the local tracks "midnight" event (poor track prep) resulted in 11.4 @ 125 on the regular street tires at 8# boost.

I have always wanted to build a nova and this just adds to the motivation. Great build and the engine bay looks good.
