1963 Nova SS

* Engine- 482" Big Block, Scat crank, Eagle H-Beam rods, Arias Pistons (10.5:1cr), Comp Cams hydraulic roller .577 lift .256@ .050" duration on 110 degree LC or LSA, Pete Jackson gear drive, Edelbrock RPM Performer rectangular port cylinder heads, Pro Magnum roller rockers, Edelbrock Air Gap intake manifold with an 850 Demon carburetor with Barry Grant combo 1" spacer and MSD ignition components with MSD Billet distributor.

* Transmission- Turbo 400 with reverse manual valvebody. Electric fan cooling system under car. Mobil 1 full synthetic fluid in a TCI deep finned aluminum pan.
* Torque Converter- Custom built Continental 3,000-3,500 stall with anti ballooning plates and all the tick stuff inside.
* Differential- Dana 60 with 5.38's (changing to 4.10's real soon) Mark Williams Hi-Torque axles.
* Rear Suspension- Ladder Bar with single leaf.
* Interior- Grey Tweed, 8pt. cage, Autometer "Ultra Lite" gages.
* Fuel delivery- 20gal. fuel cell into Holly elec. fuel pump and limited to 7psi to the carb.
* Wheels- Convo Pro's 15X12 Rear with M/T 29X15.5X15 tires.
Fronts are 15X4 with Nankang 145R15-78S tires.

* Cooling System- Ron Davis Double Pass with two 13" Spal fans.
* Sound system- :rolleyes::no:
* A/C and Heating- :rolleyes::no:
* Comments: This car is an absolute blast to drive! The color and sound of the car coming down the road gets a lot of attention (wondering what and where the heck is that noise coming from) People of all ages love to ask questions and the older folks like to recall the good memories back in the day. I'll be taking it to the 1/8 mile soon before I change out the 5.38's to see what she'll do before the 4.10's go in and then to the 1/4 mile.

That is one Bad Azz looking 63. I envy you California Guys. I see these pictures with the hot cars and beautiful sunshine, while I'm sitting here with 35 degree weather outside, with about another month to go before things warm up a little. What kind of runs are you putting down now in the 1/8?

Beautiful car... Lot's of detail and it shows. Great job. I especially like how you were able to keep the interior usable & comfortable. I know that takes a lot of extra time and $$$.. What brand front clip are you running?
