Pics of engine before going into the Nova Been busy w/ house remodeling (bay window , kitchen ,River Rock stones around bay window, living room flooring & landscape. (S--T WHEN WILL THIS END) Got the new turbo cam in , ls2 timing cover conversion kit , mellings oil pump (aligned & shimmed) , oil pan baffle & pan installed & torqued. Install the 160'S injectors , started the wiring for Holley Dominator EFI. Installed the turbo headers & coming up with the coil relocation setup differently from my previous post. I'll do the valve springs , locks , retainers & seals once engine is in its bay. Now gotta weld some area on front sub frame & scuff old paint off the firewall & frame , then clean it thoroughly & paint it. What do u all think about painting the firewall with bed line spray. My thought is , it would not chip & it fills alot of imperfection. Tell me if I crazy 2 do the bed liner spray on firewall , it's not a show car but it's durable & won't chip easy when u hit it w/ ur wrench.

Looks good!! You're getting pretty close now! I've heard that Holley system is the bee's knees.
I don't see any reason not to use bedliner for the firewall. Just dont have it Rhino-lined cause that stuff is hell if you ever wanted to remove it! Maybe just use that stuff you get in the gallon at autozone. (I used to spray truck bedliners professionally)

Thank u The Bandit & SSTEN , I appreciate this. As for the bed liner paint. It's not my thing for the firewall but I've had firewalls painted the color of the car or satin black but it always chip the paint when Mr.MaGooo (me) works on it. Well I got one turbo support made & one end is on the block & the other end on the elbow turbo flange.

Nice build, I've been following your progress. I have a couple of questions. What front tires are those, the size of the rims and backspacing ? Also, how tall are the back tires and did you do any work to the quarters to fit them? They look tall and I am debating if I can fit a 30 inch tall tire in my stock quarter. I moved the inner well in and sectioned the frame a little so I know I have the width to fit it, but I'm not sure if I have enough room for the height. I am looking to fit a 295/65/15 which is 30 inches tall. Thanks in advance.
