Sounds like a cool project. How did you convince the Ford guys to let you run a Nova with GM power in the NMRA?

Nice catch

Since you are from the Ford racing, what is the chance of Mod VS LS at a NMRA event. Win or lose, it would be good for both.
We are running a local race in Michigan that is open only for Mod, new hemi and LS. If your Nova is ready it would be cool.

4.3" bore thats getting to be old school ZL1 427ci territory they were 4.313" with a 3.365" stroke and a 1.681 rod ratio that's good stuff or you could go crazy and max out the stroke and get all kinds of inches.but to me the best thing is that the LS7 block will become "cheap" still cost some chedda though.

My feeling is that it would not happen with the NMRA. While the NMCA would be the natural choice there would be a lot of ground work before anything happened. I just use the NMCA as an example. There are several other series that could be considered.
Really I don't think that GMPP is interested in a Mod Motor VS LS shootout.
It would be better to highlight racers, teams and shops that have supported the LS engines.

Thanks for catching that I hate having and even worse giving bad info.

Hi Robin, we met at Cordova a few years back, I have the 98 Formula with the YSi that Kurgan did some work on.
So are you hanging up your spurs with NMRA?
If NMCA got interested in a late model Mod vs LS, maybe throw the Hemi's in there, that would be a good thing. Let me know if me calling you to give you background on the numbers would help.

Very glad to see you here on Tech Robin! I have met you a few times with fellow hot street racer Nick Bacalis.
Just wanted to let you know to keep us postsed as well as I am sure we will probably love to run our LSX cars in the series as well. Take care.

I have had a lot of interest in the 05. I will start talking about selling it after the NMRA Atco race.
Really it would be better to sell it. Since I will be focused on the Nova for the new couple of years.

Yes, I got pictures of a casting last week. Should be a few more show up next week. All will go through the machining process.
At this point I am not allowed to post the pictures
I keep asking and will post them as soon as I have permission.

MAybe this is being addressed in another forum, but who's making heads for this monster, or will LS7's roll right over and do the trick?
That, and it makes sence that cylinder pressure should be a concern, where does that leave the forced induction guys? Or is this an "all motor, with a bit of nitrous" type of block?
