The 68-74 Nova is the same chassis as the 67-69 Camaros. We are located in Las Vegas, and can do the swap up properly. We engineer parts to fit that chassis with zero fabrication or cutting required.

its real easy , you can get the pan & headers from street & performance the fuel pump from detail zone use stock harness you could do the whole for less than 2k plus you will be able to say you did it your self.

It is difficult to give you a cost because of the wide range of options and parts you can go with. I'd say anywhere from $9K-$25K depending on how crazy you'd like to get. Keep in mind that everything we do is designed to the chassis, it is not street rod parts.
