- A few people have been asking me to do a break down video on my 1970 Chevy Nova, so here it is! I had fun making this video, I hope I answered you’re question, and hopefully I covered everything. Thanks for watching!

I put my 70 nova up for sale last week then came across your page. Not for sale anymore. I like this look.
These 3rd gen Novas are on the rise. Glad you're keeping it. What's your plan with it?
@@squidusn71 hopefully something similar to this.
I've seen your work on IG but it's nice seeing the whole car and a breakdown of what you did. Looks sick man
Thanks bro, I appreciate that 💯
Great Nova and nice video, the background looks a lot like Long Beach.
Hell yeah man love this car thanks for the breakdown
Nice video. I enjoyed learning about your sweet ride. 👍
Cool man, glad you enjoyed !
Like your style. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Thanks boss, appreciate that 👊🏼
Good stuff dude..I'm still working on my 69 nova almost done..I'm happy u get to enjoy that thing man
Love the look of this car. Looks so much better at the height that you have it
That “kustom window crank” 🤣🤣😂
One of one 🤣
Very nice! Love it bro....
I just got my 1970 Nova!!
You gave me inspiration and ideas on my ride…
Hopefully I enjoy my car, just as you do with yours 🙏
All the work you've done is still inspiring, way to go Vato
Thanks playa, I appreciate that 💯👍🏼
@@BackYardYonkes anytime bro, you know it's dope when you pushing that parliament in the background nothing but that Nova funk LOL
Hahahaha 💯👊🏼
Dope nova...excellent choice of music!
Hahaha thanks man 👍🏼
Awesome video dude
Dope ass ride bro👍
Esto es algo realmente bueno, especialmente con las cosas pequeñas como el tablero de instrumentos y los faros y luces traseras que no ves a muchos CHEVY NOVA en la calle, muy buen trabajo, amigo.
Gracias 😎
Looking to do the same to my 1969 nova.. Ls swap... I like the stance!! Badass!!
Nice ride 🤘
I like it man! I am looking at a 71 with a 6.0 LS2 already in it. There's this part of me that wants an older car to be period correct with the engine like a carbed 327 or 350, but I've had LS1 cars and an 05 Vette with an LS2 so like the reliability and platform to work on for these engines.
Not that it should matter, it's your car to do with what you please, but I want to ask if you've had folks knock on your car for it not having an older or crate engine. I'm old school but know some of the purists get tired of seeing these swaps. For me it's our cars to do with what we please...we're the ones driving them.
Blessings man!
Finally!!! Now we know whats up!!! Nice video!
Hell yeah, thanks bro! 👊🏼
Nice job on the car, lookin good!
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
Fuck ya . Love it. Cant wait to get mine off the rotisserie and back on its wheels and driving.
She is a sweet ride !
Dope 🤙 my pops had a Nova with Yonko decals as a play on our last name and the Yenko cars
Awesome video man..you got me thinking about deleting my booster as well, I'm in the middle of getting my 67 Camaro on the street. I have the classic update harness and some brake work to do. Car came with 3 boosters and a wilwood master cylinder.
Do which ever one you feel most comfortable with bro, my first car was the nova so I learned to drive with manual brakes, good luck with your camaro 💯
Nice I like it beautiful job 👌
Yo, yo, yo!!.. That's what's up! bro! rockin' dat good old school Funk track (Knee Deep) goes perfect with you rolling down the boulevard / block, & btw... that's one mean lean clean azz..stance 70 Nova, u & your bro. did a great job on restoring it, with the 5.3 LS swap, love the rims and the black matted paint job looks great... and let me tell you, you are all business! to finish that project in 3 months, as you know it can take a couple years to do a project like that! Outstanding work...I'm impressed!✌👍👍
Hahaha hell yeah playa! Appreciate the kind words! 💯
Beautiful car bro
Can’t wait to get my 78 to this level man
Nice car, that all you need for a great street car!
Sweet Car man.
Sweet Yonke you got there
Thanks playa
Very cool ride hope to get my ls working ….. soon bought a harness it sucked
This is crazy close the build I'm about to start. I had a 350 block machined to be a 383 stroker conversion but after going to so many car shows and seeing so many classic cars with period correct setups that never get driven hard I've felt the need to go the more resto mode route
Chingon carnal 👊
Gracias compa 💯
Got a good setup I like that I would get a limited-slip instead of posi rear like maybe 373 gears or something like that for open Highway and Street strip because driving down the street with a posi hard turning and cutting up the tires
I think I saw you driving down the 105 one time. Made me break my neck not gonna lie lol that cowl hood goes crazy 👌👌 good look of the car overall. Love old school muscle
Just subscribed as well keep at it man 👍
Haha hell yeah bro, yeah it was probably me lol, thanks for supporting man I appreciate it 👍🏼💪🏼
Beautiful
Clean.👍🏾
Thanks bro 👍🏼
Nice whip bro
Thanks man 💪🏻
She looks good
Thanks bro 👍🏼
Wow bad ass 👍
Thanks bro
Dam I just picked up a 71 nova with 5.3 in it’s already I’m all pumped even more now watching your videos!!! What’s the tire size combo on yours
nice ride bro! i have a 71 nova im getting ready for paint ... then ima swap a 5.7 ls1 aluminum block that i have ready for rebuild .. just researching the best way to do so
Hell yeah bro, good luck with that build! If you ever have any questions feel free to hit me up on Instagram! @al4edo
@@BackYardYonkes thanks bro I will add u
Good Shit Dude!
Thanks my boy 💯
Looking to do this to my 78 Seville. Same chassis
sup bro nice nova! Just curious how the ride is with the ridetech coil overs? smooth ride or bumpy? Thinking of ordering soon but torn by shockwaves or coilovers.
🔥🔥🔥
💯💯👊🏼
Dang Homie you went off on that Nova! Looks good bro! Sounds good! Got me a 79 Elco. Slow project. Can't wait till I'm at ur level.
Thanks homie, hahaha take it slow and do it right brotha
Nice car man looks sick… what is engine swap are compatible with the novas?
Hay brother can you do a video on what wires you used from the car and where to hook them up
you said your running the original drive shaft just got it shorten but what yoke are you using to connect that 4l60 to the drive shaft? asking cause my 71 nova ls build is in the works and ive been wondering about that would really appreciate any help bro
sweet car my dude, soooo low tho! i couldn't believe how many pans you have gone through. gotta go up with the powertrain id say, cause the ride height dont want to be sacrificed. i like the breakdown on the parts man. im just starting my 69 nova ls build also.
Hahah yeah man looks over functionality 🤣🤦🏼♂️ and thanks for watching bro, good luck with your Nova!
Can you post a video on how you wired the swap?
Bro just seeing your channel now awesome work my man. Something to be said about a daily driver and not 💯 show car. Is your paint a flat black or just back?
Thanks brotha 💯 it’s a single stage satin black 👌🏼
Function over Form , I prefer the way you built this nova. especially like the stance. Just a cool looking nova. So it sits on full ride tech ? How is the ride ? How much did all this cost to build ? I’ve got mine that still needs body work. It’s a forever project of mine.
Yeah bro, full Ridetech suspension. Rides great, solid and no body roll, very stiff. It cost a lot hahaha. Take your time and build it right bro, good luck with your build 👊🏼
Thought I recognized the st you we’re driving down . PCH Wilmington area harbor city ....
So what kind of starter do you have on your engine in your Nova far as what year vehicle work best for you ?
What harness and ecu do you use on your ls swaps?
I'm the average pedro doing some sketchy shit n my cars and i was wondering something, o got an old 70ltd with the 351w and i got an old 2000 chevy silverado with the 5.3 what if i decided to swap them? How hard it would be, talking bout the mounting
Nice 70 dad and i are doing his 72 as a pro street its backhalfed and tubbed with 31” under it doing body now doors and fenders are giving us fitment issues bc 72 was only year they welded door hinges to piller no adjustment what so ever
Ohhh man that build sounds crazy already, good luck figuring out that firms that issue 💯
Should call this Nova “The Villain” beautiful whip man, good job
Hahah thanks brotha! I appreciate it 💯
Nice what seats do you have
what power steering box are you using?
What Fuel Pressure Regulator are you running?
I have those deals for the front head lights if you need them bud I have an extra set
Hell yeah thanks bro, im thinking about going with dapper head lights
What size front tires are you running
What brand and size or tires and rims? Your Nova is sick!!
How much was suspension?
Did you get tubs in the back? If not, any rubbing? How bout that front, any rubbing when turning with those 18s? I got a 71 down here in San Diego, but I bought it from a dude in Pacoima. Cheers
Nope, nothing done in the rear, the wheels fit and one side does rub a bit. And the front wheel will hit the frame if I turn all the way. Thanks bro, good luck with your 71 👊🏼
So much room in the engine bay of a nova to house 4 families of 4
Aye you guys in the San Bernardino area? I got a 71 f100 someone referred me to your channel
We’re in the Los Angeles area 💯
is there a link for the gauges?
Did you have to cut or fabricate anything in the rear for those 20x8 rims to fit? And what size of tire tires are you running?
No I didn’t bro, they are 255x35x20
@@BackYardYonkes cool thanks. I have a 72 nova I'm almost done rebuilding.
Seen u on ig but goddamn nice man we should link up sometime
Hell yeah brotha, stay tuned for our next cruise maybe you can come on by!
Time for some turbo my guy
bro u just need the ls swap pan very low profile from holley !!
I already have that lol
Nice nova
Sick ride man how much did you shorten the rear end?
The rear end did not get shortened bro, stock 71 camaro 10 bolt
@@BackYardYonkes sorry my bad I must've miss heard something...looks awesome
All good brotha, thank you 🙏🏼
a fredo how are those hedman headers when it comes to installing or dropping the starter do they interfere and make it a pain or is there enough clearance to do both easily
No problem at all bro, there’s good clearance on that side, the other side I did have the beat up a bit to clear the steering box. Have the install them coming up from the bottom of the car
@@BackYardYonkes Damn so it wasnt a clean install then huh i didnt want to have to beat anything because i was gunna go with the ceramic coated 1s for my nova and didnt want them looking all dented but will see on the driver side did you have to beat the #1 tube or #2 tube to clear the steering box
It was very minor denting but I think it’s because I have slider motor mounts and I pulled the engine as far back to firewall as possible. Off the top of my head I believe it’s the second
@@BackYardYonkes yup i have those same mounts too bro but i appreciate the replies frfr headers are definetly next on my list just trying to decide which 1s to get its between these or the holley hooker 1s not sure
Bro are yall from east los?
Hey man notice you don’t have your inner fenders in. Hell I can’t figure out how to get mine in!
Yeah man, I took them right away, I never used them. I do plan on fabricating some custom ones eventually.
BackYardYonkes good deal. I FINALLY got mine in today. I love the LS in yours. That’s killer!
Where did you order the suspension
From the Ridetech website
Well tostitos or whatever you name is it's all right
You live in Indio? I see you driving down my freeway!
Nah bro, that clip was from a trip to Arizona a year back
I made the video 🙆♂️🙆♂️
Coming soon too 👀
Hey Alfredo how much labor for a ls swap ?
Send me a message on Instagram bro, @backyardyonkes
Out of everything i would only change the visegrips😊😅
Hahaha Na man, it gives it character
@@BackYardYonkes go with a klein or at least a irwin🙃
When I got my 75 Vega, it had half of a pair of wire strippers in place of the turn signal lever. I filed it to fit a little better and left it. Goofy stuff like that is part of what make project cars fun 😂
Stock LS1 intake is 15-20 hp weaker than truck intake
Dam foo why are you so cute!
Idk man I just look like this 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Bro????
Its a "peg leg" 😂😂😂 so is my C10 😭
Hahaha I know man 🤦🏼♂️ Posi coming really soon
Bro bprhotrods makes custom guaranteed to fit no modifications engine mounts
How can I join you with my 70 Cadillac
Your the main one getting paid 2
Hell yeah Alfredo 💯 do you have an instagram I can follow you at and get in contact with? I just bought a 71 Ventura about 5 months ago it’s pretty much the exact same thing as a nova just different front lights and rear lights it’s got the 350 sbc just like you used to but plan on upgrading I came here from Four Speed Films I seen you mentioned back yard yonkes had to stop by definitely inspiring man 🙌🏽 Keep it coming with the footage you get
Yeah what’s up bro hit me up @al4edo on Instagram, yeah Ventura’s are dope! Thanks for coming over I appreciate it!
Put some budniks wheels on it
Cuz I’d rather keep cracking my oil pans than raise it an inch or two...
Yup
Nice bro if your like me leaving the car dusty check out my caprice aerocoupe
Thanks for checking out all my videos! I will go check it out bro! 👊🏼
Looks like it was done in 3 months
