Thought I would share some info on a project I started today and then update as we progress. This is a 1970 L78 TH400 SS Nova....32,000 original miles..was raced early on and has 4.56 gears, slapper bars, trans. cooler, Accel ignition, old Sun tach, etc. The car is a real time capsule and is very solid..I can't find any rust..driveline is original with 3.55 code axle, CTY vin engine and CW hi-po trans. Plan on just cleaning things up and servicing brakes, steering,hoses/belts, fluids etc. for street use. I am also going to use existing parts from the stockpile to make a few changes: headers, Ansen valve covers, 163 and 850 Holley, original distibutor, wheels and tires......gonna try to use as much stuff as I can without buying anything (that'll be a switch) swapping in a better bench seat, will get gauges organized and maybe put in a vintage 8-track. No cosmetics to paint or trim other than clean/polish...it will be ugly, but fast! Planning on bringing it to the Nova Nats in July to have some fun with.
Do you love me more now, Sammy???
Stay tuned, wilma
