I agree Scott, this is a built engine from LME in Texas.
Bryan really knows his stuff. This is a ET headed , all motor deal with about 600 rwhp .
Should be fun .

Who thinks we should do a 12" rear wheel versus a 10"?

I am VERY happy with Bens work , he is very professional .

The front splitter looks good. Will there be any kind of belly pan under the car?

I was thinking the same thing Drew. Jason a belly pan and rear diffuser would be killer!!!! I like it alot...:thumbsup:

Looks killer Jason!!
Are you installing a roll bar at all? Might be a good idea with that kind of power!! Personally, I like door handles...especially when using door mirrors and all/most stock trim...just my $.02, again I love it, right down to the color!!

Great minds think alike.... On a car this badass I think it would possibly be a tiny bit easier to do a belly pan since there is already so much custom stuff going on.

Really cool Jason. Is it gonna have a stripped down racing inspired interior? I also agree that rear diffuser and belly pan would be awesome.

Well here are a few updates.

Right now the car is completely diassembled. WE did fit the front suspension and determine that we will be using a 8" wide wheel in the front.

We also have decided to go with the 12" rear wheels on this nova. That will require a complete new rear section with our own frame rails and floor mods to get this done. I dont want to completely back half the car .

Right now the engine is being built, trans is a fully built 6 speed from 6 Speeds Inc.
This car will also run 9" Rear end , 14" brakes and some custom body mods.

Here are a few pics of its current state.
