  • I picked up this abandoned Chevy Nova project a few weeks back. Its a disaster, but can we can at least get it running by dropping a SPICY 350 over a weekend! Will It run?

    Who in their right mind lets such a cool car as the Nova get in this condition? If I didn’t have the money to restore it I would find someone who does BEFORE it rots. Every time I restored a car I didn’t remove one panel until I had ALL the parts needed. People pull these cars apart and then realize it ain’t cheap for resto parts!

    Well I have a 1965 nova that I still drive every day this car I bought it my self while I was still in high school n everyone is trying to buy from me but I am not selling my first car I bought the car for 1500 in 1965 before I went into the military

    • @LyonRacing24
      @LyonRacing24  Месяц назад +1

      Thank you for your service.and definitely do not sell it. I kick myself every day for selling my first car. 1500 is way too low for a nova that runs anyway lol thanks for watching!

    Yes sir, I like it ....yeah it's gots some rust,but aftermarket parts are available for Chevy 2 nova....my two cents ... SS badges, cowl hood ,ralley wheels , 15 inch z28 rims are actually worth a little something to right person

    It's crazy how expensive these Nova's have gotten over the last decade. These were dime a dozen cars, but, they are just slowly disappearing. Luckily, there are so many parts available for the cheap (relative to Mopar or some Fords). Awesome score, really looking forward to seeing how this thing continues to build!

    That engine is a one piece rear seal engine. Out of a 89 -95 Chevy. I think they take an external balance flywheel? Also I think the transmission you pulled out is a 350 not a power glide. I might be wrong but u can run casting numbers to verify.

      @@frankgomez1965 yeah it’s a 350 after I got it in the ground I looked at the pan and noticed it was a 350. I just figured it was a power glide bc that’s what should have been in there stock lol
