1972 Nova Turbo Lsx Build
Thanks for all the compliments guys
Engine block goes to machine shop tomorrow to get the bottom end all machined and assembled.
Cant stop admiring the Allpro heads that are going on this engine. The work they do there at allpro is second to none.

Been getting some detail stuff taken care of before final assembly. I sent all of my cold side parts, down pipe and turbine housing to Nitro Plate in Tennessee. After all my searching these guys have unmatched quality finish and thermal protection.
I also found a guy who does powder coating and it is the best I have seen and his prices are phenomenal. Everything I have coated will now goto this guy, he is not local to me which sucks, but to be honest shipping this stuff is worth it. Some of the stuff I sent him was new and some things were either nasty or powder coated prior. He did real nice prep on it.
Here is the engine with assembled bottom end, should be completely together next week and hopefully by first of feb it will be all in the car and I can get the fuel system plumbed and wiring finished and hit the rollers.

Been a few weeks since an update, just started getting back to it, and kind of on a roll so really hope to see a tune in the car by the first of april, we will see.
All the coated stuff came back, cold side and down pipe along with turbine housing went to nitro plate. The other stuff was powder coated by Killer Koatings. I got the forged 370 all assembled and put into the car. got the fuel rails plumbed up front and coolant,breather and throttle body stuff mostly assembled and installed.
Over the next couple weeks I will have the feed and return plumbed for the fuel system and hopefully the trans lines. I have some new wilwood brakes to install and then get the trans back in the car.
My last thing to do will be wiring and after that the car should be all ready for the tune.

I use a silicone based, very light grease like the clear dielectric grease for spark pug wires to lubricate the assembly. Makes them go together and come apart much easier.
