new to the thread/posting and also my first one. The game plan is lq9 6.0 swap into my 1968 nova, this thread will unfortunately go by slow because im 21 year old working college student. So time and mostly money will effect this build. but any tips, suggestions, ideas ect. are welcomed
went with 18x8 all around. have 2inch drop spindles on the front. front disk breaks for now, have a 12bolt rear end on the way waiting for a rebuild (originally out of a 1968 camaro).
the rear end is rough, originally out of 1968 camaro
have 4.56 gear drum breaks
plan: change gear ratio to 3.73 gears
new ring and pinion
new bolt cover
disk breaks (wish was wilwood)
new axles needed
sand blast and powder coat
I highly recommend the dirty dingo slider mounts. But be sure to check out your frame side engine stands and measure them as there are a few different types that will affect your build. Mine were the tall and narrow versions... there are tall and wide, or short and wide depending on what was originally in the car.
Love the rims, who makes them? Definitely going to watch this one. I'm trying to put a 5.3 in a 74 Nova. I am just starting to compile parts as of now. Good luck, keep us posted!
I actually just picked up an LQ4 for my 69 about a month ago. My hope is to set it up with a turbo. I've read a lot on guys running loads of boost on a stock bottom end LS. Kind of just in the collecting parts stage right now. Also a broke college student.
Hopefully I can find a relatively cheap t56 because I'm not an auto guy. Hopefully I can trade my dad the small block and 4 speed and 10 bolt currently in my car for his 12 bolt in his 55 Chevy.
You guys planning on running efi or swapping to a carb?
