Well finally got around to starting my thread.. 71 Nova, using a LS1, 4L60E and the brakes from a 02 Z28 Camaro
Cleaned up the motor some
ARP Rod and Head Bolts
Freshen up the Heads, added Comp 918's spring, Retainer and push rods
Comp Cam - ***** Thrumpr
Complete Hotchkis TVS
Edelbrock Headers
Fab'd up some mounting plates.. used Edelbrock pattern. 1" setback out of 1/2" Alum. Energy Suspension Short/Wide mounts. (moved Frame mounts 1/2" forward due to trans tunnel and firewall clearance (too tight).
