My family project is our 66' nova bracket car. Blew the 355 sb last season so we had to start from scratch. Bought a 434 shortblock (CNC motorsports) H-beam rods, JE 13.5 pistons, AFR 225 heads, edelbrock super victor ,and Holley dominator 1050. All MSD electronics. waiting to order the cam and timing setup but it should run. The tranny is a TCI turbo 350 with a transbrake and 4.88 gears in a 12bolt. The car ran low 11's-high 10's with the 355. Pics of the car are in my profile.
Benn watching this thread for a while - there are some really nice builds here, and some people making sick power!
Here's my 4DR sleeper, "The Grey Ghost":
And here's the current setup I built for it - all the brackets and tubing I designed and fabricated with some help from my friend with a machine shop:
An undershot from the rear to show some serious bits - fuel cell is now undercoated black to make it disappear:
Here's a rear shot - I have kept the exterior of the car deliberately ROUGH:
In the trunk:
660rwhp, 602rwt, 383ci, Vortech T-trim, large Bell FMIC, 75# injectors, Holley Voertec-style single plane (ported by me), Edelbrock E-Tec 200 heads (ported by me), Comp solid roller 230/236 on a 112, 1 3/4" Hooker SuperComps to 3" true dual with H-pipe, Moser Pro 12-bolt, 3.73 gears, Hughes-built 4L80E with TCI T-Com controller, J&S Safeguard Knock Controller, NOS Progressive Controller w/MSD window switch.
New motor in progress, bigger & badder with a YSi head unit.
Keep 'em coming!

Just starting 74 vega Bought 74 Vega roller hope to turbo a 5.3. If the turbo doen't work out may go prostreet. Got a 5.3 with 61MM turbo 150 shot powerglide with transbrake 5.39 12 bolt 14.5 slicks 4 link. I know its a small turbo but bought it with engine if all works out will go larger. This is a pretty big project for me. Its my second ls swap but this may be over my head. Just an old guy who like to fiddle with cars with my son. We were going to do the Mustang thing but found a nice Vega roller and it took me back to the day if you know what I mean. Keep your fingers crossed for it could put a grin old guys face. Tried to post pics but couldn't must be the old guy thing.
