Old Nova Stories #1

Telling some old stories about this old nova and me, starting back in the early 90s....
Having a high interest in engines and a young family to provide for, and the process of saving up and working side jobs to get this nova ready for the real purpose I had in mind for the car - Test Bed for learning.

Ah the early 90's, a great time to be a gearhead. I bought my first car, a low option '69 Nova(307/th350), for $600 in 1992 and built a 327 with junkyard L98 aluminum heads for it in my HS auto shop. It was almost always on M&H cheater slicks and embarrassed a lot of people at the local street spot.
I also had the David Vizard SBC head book from that time and the Car Craft issue with the flowbench plans in it. After HS I found an old Kwickway seat and guide machine from a shop that was closing down. I used it to rebuild a lot of fuelie and other heads for friends to help finance my hobby. Never did get around to building the flowbench but one of my HS autoshop teachers did.
