Hey guys,
Just wanted to drop a line-I just signed up here, been at PT.com for awhile. Just starting the rebuild(built the first time when i was 17) of my 1965 Nova 2 dr hardtop. I am building a full chassis-C4 suspension, some subtle and not-so-subtle body mods. And the real odd part of the build is the motor choice. To be different.....I am building a Vortec 4200 inline 6. It will be 500-600 HP when done. I was initially thinking turbo(for driveability) but NA is an option. Still undecided on tranny-I have been thinking 6 speed-but a paddle shifted 4L80E would be really cool too. Any ideas, criticisms would be welcomed.
Greg
