Owning a Nova like this is about more than horsepower. It is about
the rumble as you roll up to a stoplight, the way the rear tires
tug for grip at launch, and the nods you will earn from people who
know muscle cars. This Nova presents as a rowdy, driver-focused
build that balances street manners with strip-ready attitude. It
has obvious upgrades for performance yet retains the visual cues
that make a classic Chevy Nova so desirable. If you want a white
knuckle experience you can drive now, consider this Nova.
Step inside and you will find a tidy, driver-centric interior.
Seats and carpet are clean, with door panels and headliner
presenting well. The dash is fitted with Pro Comp oil and water
pressure gauges and a Pro Comp tachometer so you always know what
the engine is doing. There is a Hurst-style shifter installed for
positive shifts and the cabin layout is uncluttered for a focused
driving experience. Some controls have been blocked off as part of
the build, so creature comforts are simplified in favor of
performance.
Under the hood sits a powerful 427 V8, that transfers power to
TREMEC 5-speed manual. Fuel is supplied through a Holley carb and
the intake is an Edelbrock Air Gap style component. Supporting
items include an aluminum radiator with electric fan, MSD ignition,
electric fuel pump and long-tube headers feeding a Dynomax exhaust.
The car launches cleanly thanks to caltracs-style adjustable
traction bars and a stout 12-bolt rear end that feels geared for
strong acceleration. Subframe connectors and upgraded suspension
components add chassis stiffness and improved handling.
