Screw a bunch of 7 speed dual clutch automatic mid engine cars, and I love Corvettes to death but nothing will ever make my heart beat like a screaming small block with a stick shift. Thank you for taking time out of your life to post this.
Great video thanks i didnt realize so many novas still existed i bracket race a 65 nova in Minnesota it is fun but expensive but like any other addiction you figure out how to feed it have a great day be safe.
I literally work around the corner from this track. You can easily hear the cars on a nice spring day. It's music to my ears. I would live there if I could. A lot of wet weather around here, though. It's an absolute crap chute when planning for a dry track.
No. Hawaiian cultural and culture-based Alternative Dispute Resolution practitioner, and tech writer/journalist...Still love to make a 350 small-block Chevrolet get 1.5 horsepower per cubic inch, do hi-perf upgrades and tuning, ECM troubleshooting, used car inspections for buyers and some auto and marine repair.
+Bryan Nakamura Thanks . Yeah , I was practically brought up at H.R.P. Used to race outlaws Fri. , Sta . nights between 66 and 69 . Was there for the opening july fourth 1964 . My mother dropped us off at the track . LOL
Dropped off at the HRP track! My uncle had a Union 76 station in Mo'ili'ili and my cousins drag raced; nearly all the employees there in the late '70s/early '80s raced. '80, another uncle from Ewa Beach and I raced a '65 Nova SS in outlaws and brackets, then I turned the thing into a street-legal Stock class-legal car. Class racing died out and my Wahiawa racing friends all began to go automatic, built some wild motors up there! That's about the time I began to run the iron-head LT-1 motors. Lots of us had car numbers starting with '7'--770, 780, 768, etc. Lotsa fun; someday will build my 454 SS truck the same way--a street-legal N or O Stock Automatic--even though HRP is now closed, there's hardly any class racing (IHRA on the B.I., 'FT' class; Mana, Kaua'i is a NHRA track) and we have to ship our cars to Kaua'i, Maui and Big Island to race. Malama pono!
Actually they are not that high of rpm with the near stock heads and carb size limit. If you like small block revs check out the old nhra modified production class. That was fun
Where did you get your info? 1966-67 Chevy II's/Novas also had 327cu in / 350 HP V8s. 1965 Chevy II's/Novas also had 327cu in / 300 HP V8s. 1964 Chevelle had available 327 cu in (L74) / 300 HP V8.
Heaven looks like the inside of Justin's garage, it smells like the inside of Larry's leather equipped Shelby GT 500, and it sounds like a 10,000 RPM Small Block Chevy. How could you possibly know to make this just for me? Thanks for posting this. A side note, in 1970 I had a 327 4 speed 65 Nova post car. It didn't sound like these and it ran 14.60, perhaps it needed a tune up!
‘K’ is the NHRA class determined by the weight to HP ratio of each combination. Mostly 283 cubic inch engines in the Novas, 327 in the Chevelle, and 289 in the Mustang.
