Default Hello from Austria

Hi there!
I already read and learned so much on this fantastic site!

I am in the process of swapping an LM7 into my 63 Nova. Will include CBR suspension, Quick Performance rearend, 4L65E trans.


My other ride and next project will be a 79 Nova:


This one will get a turbo!

At the moment I am trying to finish parts shopping, and the I will start to modify the wiring harness. I am still looking for a fair priced tranny.
Shopping parts is not so easy at this side of the Atlantic ocean, and shipping is sometimes very costly.

Looking forward to some swpping discussuions!

The red one was delivered to Austria in 1963, im am the third owner. A guy who ran a shop for repairs of American cars in the 80ies owned ist before me for a long time. Her passes away recently, and his wife began to sell all his cars.

The green one is a one-owner that an old lady in california ran untill early 2015. It has ALL service bills since 1970 with it! A dutch car company imported it, and then a friend here in Austria bought it last year. Since he did nothing with it he offered it to me a yewar later, and I went for my second Nova.

Both cars have 250s, the 63 with a Powergilde and the 70 with a TH350.

I thought about turbocharging the 250 in the green one, but now I totally into LS-swapping. So lets see.

Some more pics:

Default Austrian Cooking = A+

Hi Interco, My Grandmother and my Wife's mother are Austrian, their cooking methods produced food with great taste. ( best in the world)

I will help you "shop" here in the USA, ACT (Art Carr Transmission) is in HB, CA.

I have done many "swaps" mostly with EFI.

The fuel system, the tuning, the oil pan may be of concern ?
