New power for the Nova
This is my winter project. I decided to build a new ZL-1 for my Nova. It will look somewhat like an original ZL-1 with a new block and heads. It will be a Scat forged rotating assembly with a roller cam/lifters, and custom built/modified Brodix heads.Thats where the power will be made. I'm also having the Brodix logo milled off the front of the heads, then media blasted so they look more like the rough cast 074 heads that were originally on the ZL-1's... It will have hollowed out manifolds/smog tubes with a free wheeling smog pump, and dual snorkel air cleaner atop a 4346 dual feed Holley. Just some fun for when the snow starts flying around here,

Yes Dan...Albert bought it a few yrs ago and decided to let it go. He also gave me the oil pan which needed a lot of work, but it came out nice.
