Yes, it's getting the factory cast iron ex manifolds with smog. It will look like an L-78/COPO engine comp. Sort of a COPO Nova thing, with no engine size emblems on the body. Plain jane, big power plant/4 speed, 12 bolt.

I'm probably not going to dyno the motor Dan. They'd probably blow it up. If anyone is gonna blow it up, it's gonna be me....lol...

Not sure what clutch to go with yet. I have 2 Centerforce clutches. One is good, the other is junk. Maybe a Ram. I've heard good things about Ram. The flywheel is a Hays.

Actually, Alberts car is getting manifolds and smog too.

Bill &amp; Dan,

Just curious, what are your issues with Centerforce?

I have 2 cars with Centerforce clutches. One has a pretty bad chattering issue. The other one is ok. I just decided to try something different.

I have no plans to drag race the Nova. This is just a toy to goof around with, but if I'm at a car show at a drag strip, I'd take it for a spin down the track and see what happens. I just prefer the factory correct look.
