Save weight and save parts, i like the make it strong where it counts and let the flaws shine. None of mine are near show cars but im never worried about a scratch or dent on them either, love the Studebaker build man always love the classic iron

Saving a ton for the fab because fabs finished, only need someone to tig the prefab.
I'm 31 and have never drag raced before. I have a 5.3 L33 that ill be budget building for either an n/a street car or s10, or build it up with a turbo or 2 for a full on drag car. I absolutely LOVE doing things on a budget! Thanks for all the awesome content!
I would love a parts list of everything to do with the engine/drivetrain, would be awesome to recreate, please and thank you!! Love the car and the channel
Third car I ever built was similar to this and made 850 on the dyno with a 6 liter Lq4 engine we added a cam trunion upgrade oil pump and a forced inductions 7675 with the precision injectors had a blast out of that car anything over a thousand your maintenance goes up big time that’s real talk nice build guys.
Nova is the compact Chevelle and admire your frugality recipe. Destroking sounds like my cup a tea. Cam it and get in the meat at high rpms that makes your gearing longer increasing ET, 3:15 rear is also the secret sauce. Big props to pops. Love it and its one off fabrications!
1973 Nova project owner here! The car looks killer, and definitely looks good with the tucked rear bumper. Since my car will be a street car, Ill need to figure out how to tuck and use the factory fuel fill port. Definitely an inspiration!
Give Mahle a ring or e mail. They had some really great catalogs for their pistons. You know they weighed within 5 gms of the 4.8 piston but they are fit for a 6.0 bore. I'm betting there won't be more than one or two likely candidates. That is a nice piece of "racer knowledge"! FR
This is one of the most BEAUTIFUL Novas ive ever seen!! And especially i mean externally beautiful! Perfect! The stance, paint, colours, rims, tyres, front & rear ect ect. With all its blemishes and corroded sheet... Looks awesome. And not to mention the engine and drivetrain, sound and everything else! This is 5/5 love it, good job and keep going the 7s will come eventually
Your style of car and build are my favorites because you encourage the working class racer love every aspect of this congratulations on your accomplishments
To each their own. I just can't justify spending double or triple for something that is marginally better (and sometimes much worse). Only thing that has tempted me are the 2jz's.
That's really neat how you guys built that. Interesting what you said about the cam choice, I found with my project that a narrow lsa oval track cam works good in a sbc with a big turbine and free flowing ex
Great video, straight to the point. Nothing wrong with being frugal with your money. Also your right about keeping light. Weight to horsepower ratio & traction is everything in drag racing.
"... the sheet metal is there to hold stickers." Love it! XD I also love how this car could humble all of the Tesla S Plaid's I've been seeing videos of that are running low 9's. More fun to see experience, passion, and a barn full of old parts beat out some rich guy's $150k toy.
Great video! This should be a tutorial for those who are building within a budget and those who make car overviews. Thank you for this video - you have a new subscriber
Too funny. I have nearly the exact same set up in a 1964 AMC Rambler. Wanted to kill bottom end torque due to the smallish 275 tire. 4.8 crank, gen 4 rods, 6.0 block, square port heads, Wiesco flat top piston's for a stock stroke 6.0 are a drop in minus the balance needed., mild camshaft, single 80mm turbo though. Holley Terminator X Max, 4L80e, Ford 8.8 with 3.73 (probable a little steep), Hoping for 800whp. Yet to fire it. Getting close though. Car should come in at 2800lbs. Looking for 9's in a street car for the power tour.
This is why most guys just love project cars they are fun to work on, more affordable than a brand new electric car and you can actually work on them lol. Keep up the good work guys love it!
That is a sweet well built race car you guys built. Love it. I’m also building a destoked 6.0. 4.8 crank and rods. Cheap pistons .4.040” but one thing I will have to highly dis Agree on. Cathedral port heads when ported correctly can make way more power than a Ls3 style head. I’ve dyno’d 100’s if set ups. And a proper cathedral port head makes power across the whole lower range that the rectangle port heads just can’t do. Yes they can flow awesome at wide open top of the rpm curve. But can’t touch a 862 with good work done to it. But agin. Love the car. Sick.
Yes. Start with a small chamber Unshroud the intake valve so it makes the chamber a few cc bigger then deck .020 off to bring it back down and a good port job. I can make more power threw the curve than a LS3 head. They might get a few more HP up top. But can’t touch it threw the curve. And sadly no. I no longer build race cars for work. Thanks for reminding me there tough guy.
I can’t find anything less than thousands man. If only I could find a roller to get things started, hey if your dad still has a nova he’d let go let me know
Cool, fun and interesting build! Only thing I felt missing is the actual weight of the car, especially since you pointed out the big efforts to cut weight everywhere (which is smart!)...
Can you please explain the benefits of destroked LS engines? I think that I know the basics there's always more to learn. In my local area the 5.3L LS is much more common than the 6.0L LS. I also like to do junkyard engine builds ala Richard Holdner. I like the concept of high rpm engines especially turbocharged ones. How would they be for a daily driver is different axle ratios were used? Thanks (I just realized that I asked alot of questions)
@Nivlac57 @Nivlac57 Thanks, I knew a little bit about that however that was where my knowledge stopped. If I were do something similar especially for a daily driver where I could still rap the engine out. I would certainly use a single or twin turbos to regain some of the power lost from the 6.0 LS. And use axle gearing to optimize the high rpm capabilities without being way over sped. This was very informative.
What kind of stall speed does it have, does it have a air shifter, how much boost does it have of the line ,you have a two step ho ya tire smoking gear jamming on race gas and turbos it's the best
Sweet my kinda build I'm doing a 1979 monza myself now radical little beast it is I build the same with no garage in the elements outside in the gravel it sucks but 8 get em done for sure 💪 😉 😀 😎 love the simplicity u and I use and a lot of spare parts I save and hoard to use later love em let's see some of the nova runs please sir any links for it running and racing 🏁?
A few years back, some young guy had a 1982 S-10, turboed, 5.7 LS--stock bottom end--ran 8's, all day long. He said if it lunched the motor, he'd just pull it, and put another stock bottom end mill in it. HE later decided to try for 7's, and was going to step up to a 6.0 LS to do it. Makes sense... lol

It's actually just Italian Olive Green from Walmart. I think it's krylon brand. The wheels are weld wheels that have been painted black with VHT roll bar and chassis paint.
It's fun to learn about other people's projects and what makes them tick. I just gotta say, though, an 8.62 isn't teasing 7s... though I am sure with some tweaking you can make 7s happen.
I'm in the process of slapping together a ls5.3 BW S480 in a 78 datsun 280z I also have a MS goldbox with no kind of map and wonder if I could get a copy of your map to atleast start it when the time comes?
I understand Holley efi if you can afford it. However, $1100 for the Holley vs $250 for the microsquirt makes it fairly enticing. I am quite profiecient when it comes to mechanics in general, and again with electronics and wiring. If you HAVE heard of people getting it to work, I would bet that i could. Where as i agree holley is hands down the way to go if you can, I have much more time and ingenuity than i will ever have money. And thank you for replies and opinions, i value them much more than just about any other builder i have seen.
We have gotten Microsquirt to work on quite a few cars and been very successful with them. They just take way more time to get to work. Also not having an idle valve is a real pain. When running really large injectors they can be super hard to work with. I definitely can sympathize with your situation.
Great video. I’m building a 6.0 with a 5.3 crank. Twin turbos. But it’s for a 4x4 not a drag car. Curious to see how much power it makes. There isn’t a lot of data on destroking these LS engines online. Just increasing stroke.

Can you please explain the benefits of destroked LS engines? I think that I know the basics there's always more to learn. In my local area the 5.3L LS is much more common than the 6.0L LS. I also like to do junkyard engine builds ala Richard Holdner. I like the concept of high rpm engines especially turbocharged ones. How would they be for a daily driver is different axle ratios were used? Thanks (I just realized that I asked alot of questions)
Destroking reduces the piston speed and improves the rod angle. In our case we wanted to reduce torque for no prep racing.
@Nivlac57 @Nivlac57 Thanks, I knew a little bit about that however that was where my knowledge stopped.

What kind of stall speed does it have, does it have a air shifter, how much boost does it have of the line ,you have a two step ho ya tire smoking gear jamming on race gas and turbos it's the best

What rear bumper is that? I see it still has the 73-74 rear tail panel.
It's a 68-72 bumper
For me, it's more impressive to see something built on a budget to run what you are able to. People with deep pockets not so much.
Turbo's like oversquare more than NA's do!!! COOL!
Don't judge?
I WILL judge.
