Those results look really good and without any power adders! Great job on the build!

great numbers. Tony built a 427 ls3 for my 63 nova that did 680/580 at westech. looks like those ls7 heads are definitely worth some more power than mine. had to spin mine to 7200 to get my peak. your car is going to be a blast

That should be a wicked fun little car to drive... Hang on!!!

I’m hoping it’s a blast! Still a long way to go, but can’t wait til it’s done!

Thanks! How’s your Nova drive with that set up? I’m sure it’s a blast... do you have a link to any pics?

I can definitely relate to that... I’d love to do more of the work on my Nova, but I just don’t have the time. Work is crazy right now and I try to spend as much time with my kids as I can before they’re gone to college. So, I can either do the work myself, knowing that it will be years before it’s finally done, or get help. As much as I enjoy working on it, I want to enjoy driving it, too... as a result, AutoKraft is doing a lot more than I originally anticipated... I’ll have other cars to work on (like my ‘56 Chevy) when the kids are gone and I’m retired!
