My other Money pit……. - TrainHo - 08-01-2014 While I do enjoy trains I also have a 73 Nova SS with a 427 SBC paired to a TH350, 3.90:1 rear gear. I could bore you with all the engine components but let it suffice to say….it's pretty damn quick. Here are a couple videos of before I started replacing the rear quarters. It has been out of commission for about 3 months now and I hope it is only about three more before I get her on the road again. I am repairing all the body work and replacing wiring harness, dash cluster and replacing the TH350 with a 700R4. The interior is gutted right now. I plan on painting it Metallic orange (I wanted burnt orange but the color I want is about $650 per gallon) Note the license plate. The cops around here have a GREAT sense of humor. I've only had two try to race me. Here are a couple videos. I have no idea how to embed them or if it is possible. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL1gW_6q5Dc&list=UUTaoqupCXCi2Pcm_ZfpxCuw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL1gW_6 ... cm_ZfpxCuw</a><!-- m --> <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGC0UnOSvi0&list=UUTaoqupCXCi2Pcm_ZfpxCuw&index=5">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGC0UnO ... uw&index=5</a><!-- m --> This one is a blast.

Re: My other Money pit……. - teejay - 08-02-2014 Nice ride ....the automatic trans snaps the shifts nice and quick . The 427 small block is a nice change from all the 350's I see . I'm a Ford guy and if I had the extra money I'd get a 427 Ford crate motor based on the 351 Ford small block ! T Re: My other Money pit……. - TrainHo - 08-04-2014 Thanks, I can't wait to get her back on the road. Killin me seeing it in the garage. Re: My other Money pit……. - tomustang - 11-19-2014 Nice looking ride, you don't see a lot of novas running around, same goes for the 427. Love the plate |
