1972 Chevrolet Nova Description

This is a roller motor with a Howards Roller Cam, roller lifters, Roller Rockers and Aluminum Heads. GM BBC Serpentine Pulley kit. Sanderson Mid Length Headers with 3" Flowmaster Exhaust H-Pipe. Billet Specialty's valve covers.MSD 6-AL Ignition. Topped off with a 850 CFM Holley Mighty Demon Douple Pumper. Never been dyno'd but it has been built with slightly better specs and parts than Chevy Performance's 502 crate from Summit. Still provides plenty of brake vacuum. My estimates are 475-500HP/540-550ft/lbs of torque.
Cooling includes dual Spal fans pushing 3000cfm. Never exceeds 190 degrees even with temps over 95 degrees.
The trans is a Muncie 4spd with a 1" counter-shaft and a brand new gear set. Counter shaft port was machined to factory specs and a new sleeve was inserted. "NO LEAKS". Inland Empire Driveline 4" aluminum driveshaft mated to a Ford 9", with Eaton Posi, Moser axles and a Yukon Nodular Iron 3rd member running 3:25 gears. Global West Tubular sub-frame connectors.
Brakes - Four wheel CPP big Brake kit. Stops on a dime. Coys C5 Black Chrome wheels. CPP Front upper/lower Control Arms. CPP 500 Series CR Gearbox, Rear 2" drop Leafs. Vintage Air, Retro-Autosound blue tooth stereo with Rockford Fosgate Quad speakers.
Beautiful Hugger Orange with House of Color clear-coat. Not the car with three paint jobs buried below. This car was purchased from the original owner who was a client of mine. It was a true survivor with absolutelyzero rust. It was stripped to the metal and repainted as you see it herein.
