Sweet ride!!! Makes me miss my 63 Chevy II. There are a few people on here that have already done the swap that could help more so than I. I know BRP has a swap kit made for your exact model. That would take alot of the guess work out of it for you. BRP is a sponsor on here and would be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. They might can help in other aspects of the build as well. Keep the pics coming! Have you ever thought about using Photobucket to post pics? You will get a larger pic without it being an attachment. Just a thought.

For good Nova information there is also an LSX section on Steves Nova Site. There you will find a concentrated section on exactly what you are needing information on when it comes to the Nova side of the LS conversion.

This will be very helpful to the original poster and to the individual asking about the F.R. equipped car. If you are looking at an LS transplant do your research!

Here is a thread listing much of what is needed.

Yeah, I've got an idea - if you're going to have a boosted LS-series engine in that little sucker, put some thick towels between your passenger & the seat!!!
