Default 71 nova build thread finally started

Well figured I'd start a build thread. Been trying to learn as much as possible and finally starting to see the parts pile up. Motor is an 01 5.3, 862's with welded notches, ls9 gaskets and ARP studs. Cam is a tick custom and turbo is a gt45-76 from VS racing. Gonna try my luck with a microsquirt with a th400 an 3500 verter. Gears are a 393 might have to change later on well see. Oil pan is the new holley pan. Still have a bunch of crap like fueling to figure out but here are a few pics. Thanks to everyone for the help.
