Newbie from Alberta Hey all, been a member for a while gathering information for the intended swap into my 1971 Nova. I've made the decision that this is the route I want to go once it is time to freshin up my current power plant.
I currently have a 350 and a 4spd, nothing special but if works OK and plan on an LS1 and t-56. The availability of these engines up here is a lot less than what I have seen down in the US and when I do see them they are outragiously priced. Expecially based on what I have for sale on this forum.(I might have to get one sent up here when it is time).
Any way just wanted to say hey and here is a pic of my Nova. It is far from done but a work in progress.

Sweet ride!! Airdrie...Wow...spent many a night blasting thru there on the way back home.
I'm originally from Edmonton. I moved tp Ft. Worth, Texas back in 94. Can't say I miss the Alberta winters or, the $$$ prices for automotive parts and lack of places to shop for them up there. I still have a few friends up there that are into cars and they are always complaining about the scarce deals.
Good luck on your build,
Kev

Welcome from just across the border. I have found it is way cheaper to piece together a gen III motor. I just put together two of them, one is a 5.3 block bored to 3.898 so it is a 5.7 now using stock ls1 pistons & rods ( it's going to be a stock driver)
Good luck on your build.
