picked up my new ride

[JoeDnDirty]

well i always wanted a blown car so i found this 1968 nova ss comes with a stroked 427 big block chevy with an 871 blower going to be a fun car

Sweeeeetttt!

Sweet ride if that blower did not stick the the roof it would be a real sleeper.

Awesome job.... you just added a few G's to the value! Nice car by the way..... I always liked the Novas and Chevy II's

I'm looking at the fuel lines and thinking it's more of a "show blower" than a "make 1500hp blower"...looks sweet though....

Lets get the pulleys switched, overdrive 'er 20% or so, get the Barry Grant system plumbed....hehehehe

I'm secretly calling you names right now while cruising hot-rod ads....I have always intended to get back into this game, but I've been waiting until I was a bit more flush. Hahaha. I've always been a Mopar clown...so I really want to do a "classic" Mopar like an A body with a HUGE inch motor....I want to go all computer controlled EFI this time around. Street driven of course. The ol Dust pan was easy in the 10's through mufflers....I want 9's with muffs....

I remember the "shop truck" at Gasoline Alley in Lethbridge in the 80's (the shop is closed now)...it was an ugly 2dr 76-81 Chev 1/2 or 3/4 ton 2wd with 4 mud tires all round. Yes...2wd with like 33x12 grips all 'round. It also had a 6-71 on top of a big block sticking nonchalantly out of the hood. The owner, Martin used to throw his camper in the back in the summer for weekends. I remember the story of him getting pulled over for passing someone on the highway and blowing the tires off at 60mph WITH THE CAMPER IN THE BACK. Hehehe...good times, good times. LOL
