Hey all,

I have a 1974 Nova that I'm going to be putting a 5.3 into and eventually turbocharging. I'm going to school at Texas A&M and the car is back in Canyon, TX so its kind of hard to get a lot of work done. Over Christmas break I'll be putting on disk brakes, polygraphite bushings, and new springs and shocks. Pictures to come in a few weeks!

Thanks, I'll definately check out that site. Heres some more pictures of the car:





I'm not sure on the turbo set up just yet. Want to do some more research before I set anything in stone.
