Default New Guy. 71 Nova getting LS, 5 spd, slammed, & 12 wides all 4 corners...

Just wanted to check in and say hello to everyone. Bought my 71 Nova back in 05 for $800 and drove it home with the little 307/glide. Put a whopping 1300 miles on it since... I've finally decided to go fuel injection so I've been gathering parts and pieces. Have a 5.3 out of a 2000 4x4 Silverado w/ wiring harness & 5 speed out of an 04 2wd Silverado. I've got some other parts as well I'll be changing out like 3:73 posi rear axle from a 98 Bravada, 2" drop spindles, disk brake conversion, 15x12 wheels for the rear and I'd also like to run them on the front as opposed to 15x10s... I plan on drop coils and 4 linking the rear. Lots of things to do but never enough time. I've already subscribed to the truck LS in Nova thread so that's been awesome and full of great information. Once I start it I'll get some photos posted. Most will be on my home shops page over on Facebook. It's called Headstone Hotrods for anyone interested. Appreciate all the information I've already found and pics. Great place to be I can tell already and look forward to poking around the site. 😎👌🏼

Thank you. Here's my avatar picture but larger. I plan to drop the car 4" at least so the quarters and fenders will be going on a major diet...

Here's a couple pics of wheel/tire mockup. Fronts wouldn't clear ball joints and a arms so needing a different offset for sure and once it's lowered the sheet metal will be going on a diet.
