We install a dirt cheap small block in the junk yard rescue '70 nova and continue to make progress towards getting this machine back on the road!! Will this old small block chevy run?
A 307 is a 327 crank in a 283 block I got 2 of them ! But I have a built 327 , aluminum intake, 750cfm carb,Stainless Steel Headers ,MSD DISTRIBUTOR AND MULTI-SPARK BOX, SFI Certified flywheel, 11 inch clutch , M-21 Muncie 4 speed trans , 12 bolt posi rear, Oh , and I got a 49 and 1/2 inch hood and a 50 inch hood
Dude never stop the videos. Youre one of my main guys i watch. Im 24 and currently building a 68. Your videos have been so helpful for a guy whos never done this. Keep up the great work!
Dan I been following you for awhile I wish I could show you that you have an amazing engine part. If you decide to make a bigger engine use a 307 crank in a 350 block using 327 pistons it makes a large journal 327 and man they do great I have built several for customers and friends . Keep on thrashing brother thanks for the video 👍
Good stuff. Wrong video, but here goes anyway. Ordering a new rearend to swap out requires lots of info and measuring. Dana 60 is looking good from Strange. Needing to know the Yoke size, 1350? and distance to tailshaft for driveshaft and adapting parts for brakes and.... Your swap seemed easy, except driveshaft length difference.
Trust me I’m a huge fan of the steelies but I’m currently out. I had these wheels laying around so they will work for the time being. I would ideally like a proper 70’s era wheel and tire on this thing rather then the jegs aluminum wheels so maybe in the future.
Rear steelies and front skinny cragars are a favorite of.mine as well. Your car though. I understand your reasoning for the jegs. Don't get it right. Just Get it running. We dream too much lol
I think it’s funny that the Nova that was in the junkyard because it caught fire 🔥 almost caught fire again..better keep a close eye on this one and a fire extinguisher handy...lol
nothing wrong with the 307 There cheap and nobody wants them. But there small block and better then a 305. Put some 601 305ho heads on a comp 268h dual plane 600 holley 373 or 410s and have fun cheap.
Yes I do have 3 (‘69,’70,’72. I’m planning to do a video soon giving a status/update on the projects and where they are at. The channel hasn’t seen my ‘69 in like over a year.
That would be a great video. All 3 are bad little Nova's. All you need now is a 68 and 71 , lol. The five fecta .Keep it up buddy. @@hatchsrecreationalengineer1997
I’ve actually had a few people reach out about that car! It is still around! I have had it tucked away in storage while it waits for funds. It still runs and drives with the six cylinder and powerglide. Hasn’t changed a bit since the Holley motor life article. That car is the only one I would never part with it is my favorite for sure.
The car is a factory bucket seat car. The seats however do not belong to this car. I had them in my inventory and they are 1968 Camaro deluxe bucket seats. They look and fit pretty damn good in there if I do say so myself.
