Car warriors ls3 nova Somewhat new here, so just thought Id share my 1972 Nova that myself and some friends built on Car Warriors on Speed Channel last year... 500HP LS3 Buily by The Engine Factory, TH400 from Monster Transmission, 12 bolt rear end, Hotchkis Suspension, Baer Brakes, 20" wheels from American Racing (yeh, I know, nobody likes them, but we had limited choices!)

Front is a stock coil, Hotchkis sway bar, CPP drop spindles... Rear is Hotchkis leafs with the shortest shackle I could fit on it... Gonna machine the rear wheels for now to get em to tuck a bit more then gonna try some blocks... Or just nut up for the ride-tech stuff...

I somewhat remember that ls3 nova show, seems like someone in charge of getting parts together coulda did a better job with what was available to work with for engine installation on such a time limited show.

Yeh, they gave us "install kits" but the Camaro oil pans hit the centerlink, so we had to raise the front of the engine... there was a few other issues, no fittings to adapt the Nova power steering to the LS pump, Driveline length, etc... Was a fun experience though... Car was truly built in 48 hours, no BS...

that thing is ugly as ****. that being said its very well done and has alot of love in it. lower it, change the rims, and a repaint and that car would be a great example of that period nova.
