Well I am from Texas and just bought a 75 Nova for 250 bux.It needs a lot of fixing up.I probably will need a lot of advice so I am glad that I found this site.One thing I found out, it is hard to find parts so any advice on that would be really great.::turn:

Thats got to be the weirdest engine dress-up kit I ever saw. I think JC Whitney sells those! It looks like a straight 6 hiding under there. I see a lot of hard work in your future! Good luck Bud and welcome to the site. Billy.

Yes there is an engine under the hood.But we are going to rebuilt one.We are trying to decide what would be the best engine to put in it.We want a daily driver but with enough power to take to the race track everyonce in a while.Any suggestions are very welcome.Thank you all. I will post more pics as the project goes on.:D

I will post more pics as the project goes on.:DIt really depends on how much you wanna spend.Here is a basic starter engine with 400hp...it'll roast the tire too....great buy for $3k...1 year warranty too.I've spoken to a couple of guys who put these motors in their street rods...they love them...with no problems
