Reason: Finish title
Yes . Unfortunately the regal is gone .my buddy that has owned the nova for 10 years just wanted a streetcar without a cage and we talked a few time’s and realized we both had what the other wanted.
As long as your both happy, who cares. It's a chassis you're familiar with. So it shouldn't take you long to get a handle on it. Looking forward to the "build" on this one. Maybe more of a fine tuning and personalization.
Very nice looking! Also interested in how that engine/turbo setup performs as I've been staring down the same path. Any previous info before the piston issue?

Builder error. It was built by a shop and when he picked up the engine he was told the wrist pin was a std rated at 700 hp. He lost interest after that

SWEET! I had a pretty nice 69 (also mini-tubbed) with a turd of a 383ci small block. I kick myself in the ***, daily, for not keeping it and turning it into a turbo LS powered beast...
Good Luck with it. Look forward to seeing some updates.
I wish I had a bunch of them back, lol-in 69 I bought a new 396/375 Nova to replace the 67 Camaro 396/375 I bought new, never thought about the future.

Just imagine all the old grandma's seeing what their old ugly POS Fairmonts are going for, LOL.
