25.2 is 6.00 @ 3200
But more than likely it will be a 25.2 25.3 dual cert

I have a 1970 Nova too. I was going to do a 25.5 on it but then I decided to make it more of a street car and tear up my 4th gen

Nice progress DHRACER!!! Your right is does look like a car again, but badass! I bet you feel like me and just cant wait to sit in it and drive it.
My progress has been slow, still working on the engine plate, hope to do some welding tonight on the rails, so I can pull the block back out again, and finish welding the plates.
Man how daylight saving has mucked our time difference around. Thanks for the help with the hood.Im trying to call VFM to order a sunnaco hood and maybe some guards, did you run the VFM glass trunk??
Man they have some good stuff!!
Keep the good stuff coming!

Sweet! Hope you get the motor plates finished up soon. The VFN stuff is good. You will be happy with it. I put the other door on the car and got my radiator mounted!!! My buddy David welded some tabs on it for me and I just welded some tabs to the car. Simple but it should work.

The radiator looks trick, nice and tight to the framework. Have you thought about getting your buddy to change the hose bards to dash fittings??? I have just converted mine on my other toy to dash 16, will tidy up the bay alot.
Unfortunatly didnt get time for the car on the weekend, helped a buddy out at the race trak preety much alday yesterday. Hope to get into it this week!

Most mounts I have seen the mount is lower and is around the license plate holder area.

What parachute mount manufacture are you using?

Thanks! Yes I'm going to change them to an fittings. Your wright its alot better. The chute mount was put in by David @ the chassis shop. It ties to the tail section on the cage. I knew I was going to run a wing so we put it up a little higher than usual. Thanks
