LS1 nova swap question I've been planning a drag build and it's changed a few times. I was gonna do a 1991 240sx ls1 swap with a pt88 because I like the smaller Japanese tuner cars just a little more than mucle cars (I know kill me) but my dad really really wants to do this in a muscle car. So one of my favorites is a 1970 nova and I'm thinking that's what the final project is gonna be. I had literally every single part and service I need done written down on my parts list but that was for the 240 ls1 setup. So I can't find a bolt on turbo kit for an ls1 in a nova. I found a lot for the 240 that was especially made for an ls1 in a 1991 240, it all just bolts on. But I can't find anything like that for the nova. So my question is do you think I could get away with just using the 240 ls turbo kit in the nova? the nova will for sure have way more room unlike the 240 so it shouldn't be a problem right? Is there anything in the way in a nova engine bay that isn't there in a 240 bay? if you're wondering what's all going in, 408 ls1 with a t56 6 speed. And I know a kit can be made but the point if this build is that my dad and I do ALL the work, and we'r not metal fabricators nor do we have the tools needed for that. So that's why I want a sure thing bolt on kit.
