I'm hoping that by doing the work myself I can go with the LS7 option, but well see haha.

Any experience with putting one of these motors in the previously mentioned cars?

you can get mounts, headers, accessory drive systems, etc. for the cars on your list. I swapped a small block in my 64 Chevelle for a 402 LS2. Pretty much a bolt in as far as getting the engine bolted in. From there it depends on how mild or wild you want to go.

Between and 60's Chevelle and a 70's Nova....Keep in mind that when it comes time to sell, the Chevelle will bring more money. It's alot harder to get good money for a Nova.

I'm not considering selling the vehicle, when I get it I'm going to keep it. I'll just build a collection
