Bill Thomas Nova Conversion
Who wouldn't want a Rat-powered, straight-axle '65 Chevy II? Street wheelies anyone?
From the March, 1966 Hot Rod.

Re: Bill Thomas Nova Conversion
Very cool! .
About 25 years ago I remember seeing pics in an old Hot-Rod mag of Thomas transplanting 327 Fuel Injection motors into new '62 Novas....clean, stock looking conversions.  ~ Pete

Re: Bill Thomas Nova Conversion
I have that issue too. I'll dig it up after dinner if anyone's interested.
Bruce: I was taking a short break! Sheesh! Besides, all work and no play makes Bill a dull boy.

Re: Bill Thomas Nova Conversion
Bring it on if you have it handy to you Bill. . I haven't seen mine in years and would have a hard time finding it even if it was still around? . I remember the pics but is there text w/ it too? .
Thanks! . ~ Pete

Re: Bill Thomas Nova Conversion
Bill, it's not the Harrell 62-65 Nova w/ the Z-11 or Mystery Motor you're thinking of is it....the 'Distribution' or whatever it was called? .

Re: Bill Thomas Nova Conversion
Sounds like the same article I remember but don't recall a certain car, only them converting stock units? .
Anyone have anything on the 'Distribulator' 409 Nova or whatever it was called? . ~ Pete
