How do you think the build turned out?

@THROTTLEPOWER Год назад

I like it!!!

@laser69beam Год назад

The clickbait title didn’t turn out well…. There was no TESTING. TF

@Rick-O-Shay60 Год назад

Looks good, just need to adjust the linkage so the backup lights aren't on in anything but reverse.

@HorsepowerHeadquarters454 Год назад

Only way it could be better is with a 632! Lol.

@Rick-O-Shay60 Год назад

It's the little things that define the quality of a build. When something as obvious of the simple failed adjustment of a back up light switch because the project was rushed to complete... One tends to wonder, What not so obvious details were missed?

@labelkills1331 Год назад

Kory is made for TV, get him on more often.

@alexfernandez9484 Год назад

kory holmes always doing a great job !

@Alex555Miller Год назад

I'm so looking forward to seeing your 3rd Gen Camaro build.

@stephanfowler8885 Год назад

Badass build! Holmes Fabrication is awesome!

@lukeofearth1036 Год назад

I have a Buick SunCoupe that has that same top. It always gets a lot of attention.

@kcspeed9980 Год назад

Cool! We just got a new Chevy 2500 with the l8t, works great as our race trailer tow vehicle. Would love to build a full-size Chevy with this engine, maybe we can bring back out 67 tempest with the new 400!

@gilm3853 Год назад

Love the color combo!!

@THROTTLEPOWER Год назад

I agree!

@MotorTrendWatch Год назад

Thanks!

@johnbehneman1546 Год назад

GREAT BUILD JOHN!!! GREAT DAILY DRIVER!!! GREAT MODERN TECHNOLOGY IN AN OLDER CAR. THAT IS WHAT HOT RODDING IS ALL ABOUT. GREAT VIDEO AS WELL.

@THROTTLEPOWER Год назад

So very true John!!

@joshuaemery6246 Год назад

Awesome build!

@DonXXXPrince Год назад

Another amazing Chevy 🤩

@wheelmanvicful Год назад

Can't wait to finish my 69 nova now ugggh

@angelnegron7561 3 месяца назад

Beautiful, I love nova

@THROTTLEPOWER Год назад

Very cool, GREAT vid!!!!!!! 👍👍

@1Also Год назад

Why are the reverse lights constantly on?

@bookrokodil Год назад

bolt on guys cant diagnose

@LightHills 10 месяцев назад

I was wondering the same thing. Mines on a microswitch for reverse on my TCI shifter in my 72 nova. Never had them "hang" on though while driving though.

@CrankAddict Год назад

tell me more about that hydraulic sheet metal punch. I've never seen a portable unit like that.

@DarkhorseMuscle Год назад

I really dig it

@timbercharlie6492 Год назад

Interesting choice for transmission. Great build over all though

@100miledrive Год назад

This gets me thinking, how we are going to rebuild electric cars in the future

@ec6933 Год назад

4L60e? Nice knowing ya boys lol

@jimm8465 Год назад

The car needs sub frame connectors, and reverse lights were stuck on. N

@imranabbasi7871 Год назад

Good luck cherolet nova 👍

@BOWSMOKE Год назад

So no dyno ?? No performance opinions besides “It’s great” after all your work? Dang guys

@TaylorJamesBurnett Год назад

Very nice build! Be careful of those plug leads, they will most definitely melt over time without heat insulation.

@MotorTrendWatch Год назад

Good advice!

@wladyslawkoss4098 10 месяцев назад

Did you have to do any modifications to the motor mounts like relocate or create customs motor mounts or did the motor fit into the stock location?

@kellepowers6693 Год назад

Wonder what the total cost of this came out to? I have a 69 chevy C10 that I’d love to drop the L8T in, but after seeing all of this, it seems almost impossible for the normal blue collar guy. I have a 2020 AT4 2500 with the L8T.

@michaelspizzirri4079 Год назад

This is a nice build, but why would anyone use the OLD 4 speed auto?! The gear ratios suck bad, especially when used with the cam profile in the 6.6 engine. Also, I wonder why the coil covers were left off.

@AndrewPhillipsqualityassurance Год назад

Today is Korys bday!!!

@garyrodriguez9864 Год назад

Anyone else notice the roached subframe bushings 😮

@D3AThCAl2DS 11 месяцев назад

I want an l8t for my 3rd gen

@rickuyeda4818 Год назад

Why are your back up lights on?

@jarrodjones9275 Год назад

Need to swap out the emblems for some 400 engine designations.

@jayrock5953 6 месяцев назад

I didn’t see anything about the fuel system or tank info?

@KurtElliott Год назад

I expected to see tire smoke.

@pedrofernando176 Год назад

✌🤙

@Darthreloy 6 месяцев назад

those shocks are not set right. Short stiff bounces like the springs are too much or not enough damp.

@tokker269 Год назад

Yeah I'm a Ford Guy

@sublime929 Год назад

If that was my Nova I'd go with dog dish hubcaps and steel wheels.

@johnbehneman1546 Год назад

ARE LT ENGINES IN THE JUNKYARDS ?

@davehaynes0 Год назад

Yes

@AbstractDreamz 5 месяцев назад

I have a 25k L8t and 6l90 sitting in my garage at this moment.

@madjh8 Год назад

Cool car etc etc but that wheels doesn´t match the car ... too big or something is wrong,

@toddrobinson458 Год назад

The rims are way too big

@moe.jones1 Год назад

LS is played out. LT is best for modern hotrod

@bw9325 Год назад

The video was made intolerable by the incessant duralast brake ads, coupled with the fact that duralast products fail like clockwork soon as warranty ends! I will never purchase nore recommend any of their products.
