I think one of the stock(close to 300hp) motors with an upgraded intake (that also fits under your hood) with a set of headers is going to be plenty of power to get your nova hauling ass in a hurry. If you look you can also get one with a transmission and it's controller for not much more. This would sure beat building from scratch and take a lot of the guess work out with the different computers, sensors, reluctor,.....you get what I am saying. 
You could have the motor, trans, computers, fuel system, all mounted and running in the car for under 3k. |
