Default my 63 nova 427 ls3 build

im copying this over from another forum that i started on. ill get this caught up to where i am and continue to update.

First a little history. I bought this car not running with a straight 6 and th350 for really cheap. First thing i did was get it running and rebuilt the front suspension. It didnt take much to get running and the car was fun for a little while.

Next up was the search for more power. i started looking at small blocks but the LS bug got me and i found an lq4 out of a wrecked truck for cheap. I didnt know anything about fuel injection so i decided to go with a carb and a msd 6010. This was great for the power but the car scared the crap out of me with the stock drums and horrible stock steering that needed to be replaced.

Time for front end upgrades. I met a guy out at sears point that had some used stuff for sale that he had just taken off his racecar and he told me to come take a look. He had an early church boys r and p, cpp mini subframe and aerospace brakes. This setup was great. I finally felt safe driving it and i did for a year before the upgrade bug hit again.
