Now up for sale I'm moving on and am considering selling the Nova. For more info go to www.csnracing.com

Why the AOD? I had the stock GN engine with the 200R4 in it the late 90's, and I went through some of the problems many Buick owners had. Len from Lentech Automatics (who specializes in AOD's) approached me to put an AOD in my car in exchange for some custom adapter plates. Hot Rod...

Hey turbo6man, It's nice to see the progress on your car. I think you did the right thing by getting rid of the old front clip and doing it right. It's something that I'm thinking of doing now, after-the-fact, when I should have done it right away. I was trying to keep my car in the "stock...

It's been a long time since I've been on these boards. turbo6man got me back to the boards again and I don't think I've ever submitted any photos of my hybrid. So here's the short story with some pics... Keep stuffin' those motors in your rides! Engine rebuild pictures taken 1-1/2 years...

Congrats! It's nice to get that monkey off your back. I know EXACTLY how you feel :D

I'm just about to do my floor with the Aqua-Tuff water based epoxy in the next week or so. http://www.noskidding.com/ns_02.htm We'll see how it works out. Apparently good with brakefluid and other harsh chems. Priced reasonably enough for me.

Interesting reading... I've been running ported production heads with roller valvetrain on a 109 block with flow numbers below at 28 in vacuum; lift intake exhaust .300 156 115 .400 174 134 .500 175 141 unported, my stock heads hit the wall at 151 on the intake as well. At 27-28lbs...

Thanks for the info John. My motor is basically a TSM motor with production heads, so your comment has got me to thinking... I'll probably get some GN-1's for next season and maye the distributor route is the way to go. Aside from the notes by Ken and Joe, I'd appreciate any other notes...

I've noticed this "trend" to use distributors at higher power levels. I think the GM sponsored Ecotech Cavalier changed over to a distributor as well as others. How does the distributor make more power than the DIS?

John, Why the distributor? Is there a reason you're not going with DIS, given the long dwell and charge times? Chris

Hey Charles, Welcome to the club! (The 60's Nova with GN power club, that is...) There's lots of potential with this combo. I've been enjoying my setup for years now and you will too if you follow the good advice around on the sites already mentioned. Keep reading and learning and you'll...

Another one for those techno-savvy electronic types... http://www.diy-wb.com/

It was a Dart blocked, aluminum headed, Vortech blower Mustang coupe. He ran 10.1 @ 138. It was a real race... 400 pro tree and all. They came over to see my car after and couldn't believe that I'm using production heads, block, etc! Chris

I'd just like to say hello and share my hybrid! 1966 Chevy Nova with 1987 GN motor. 109 block, steel caps and girdle, studded with production crank, rods, heads, intake and exhaust manifold. 70 series 3 bolt turbo and 72lb injectors with old Accel DFI. Ford AOD tranny with lockup in third...
