Another Speedtech Nova
 
Speedtech has just finished a 69 Nova for a local customer who actually came in to purchase a set of headers for this Nova, when it showed up it had a SBC already had the TKO 500 in it. well the header order got cancelled and we reordered a set for an LS. and that was it. the car was completly stripped and ended up needing all new body panels, except the roof and trunk lid. floor was good too. got the mini tub treatment full Track Time suspension Package.
The idea of this car was to make it SUPER drivable long distance and comfortable. So we put a stock 430 HP ls3 17" Forgelines with Michelin PS2 335 35 17 and 265 40 17 to soak up some of the road. super quite dynomax mufflers, comfortable Cobra seats.
This car is a dream to drive.

Love this Nova! :thumbsup: Do you have a vendor for the gauges? And do you have a pic from the side? Just curious how a 26" tire fills the wheelhouse on this one. I'm limited to a 17" wheel and it looks a little short on my Nova.

Thanks a lot! I've seen these gauges somewhere but could not recall the company name. Wheel fit perfect!

i cant tell YOU!!!

lol

not alot of trick stuff just a straight forward build, this is a "Budget" build something most can afford and is the direction we are moving towards on our builds.

Frankenstine 08-15-2012 06:19 AM

Nice Build guys,:thumbsup: Not digging the subframe and headers hanging out the bottom from the side pick tho, Is that the way Novas are or just the subframe you guys are using? not hating just saying. liking the wheels and dash:thumbsup:

That is the way Novas are, the floor is not tucked up as far as a Camaro. remember how high the Novas sit. The floor is flatter and they have an extra 3/8 spacer at the firewall mount. The headers are only 3/4" below the subframe. On the Camaro with 1/2 height body mounts the headers are 3/8" from the floor. so something has to give.

maybe you should just buy one???

then you can see it everyday. :lol:

srh3trinity 08-15-2012 07:30 AM

It is amazing what a new set of headers can do for a car!

Great looking car. Nice stance and I like the 17's. The tires make the car look more aggressive.
