Just looking for some opinions.....My father gave my a 1964 Nova, 2 door, its a Chevy II w/ an automatic on the floor and a 230ci inline 6....Now i was gonna just say screw it and put a big block in it. but then i decided that a twin turbo small block would be kool. Now, i got thinking again and i thought that keeping the 6 cyl would be nice ,and then you would'nt have to cut and hack so much....heres what i came up with.....2JZ w/a single turbo on EMS.....the car would have no idea what it has in it...and the engine would have no idea what its in....and i could use the GM 2 speed powerglide for the transmission....and make 1000whp and it still be pretty light.....


So what do ya think???

 

Bring it by, let's get started!!

One i think Your dad would hate you, two you would be spending sooo much money and your still just gonna end up with a chevy II, three your gonna have to hack it all up even more for a 2jz its a toyota motor, fabbing motor mounts,running fuel lines for fuel injection, Just drop in a V8 and be happy with it. Dont bastardize something your dad gave you

 

Well, it would be easier to stuff the V8 motor in it. Since the Chevy II's could come with a V8 you'd just need to swap the engine mounts.

 

I think your dad would kill you if you didn't drop a 502 in there ... but I say a 2JZ in a Nova would be nice.

 

Just put in an LS1 or LS2. Nice and light with retarded amounts of power.

 

Go for 2JZ!!Storke it to 3.4,put in GT47-88mm,nitrous and 8's!!

 

i really dont think my father would care to much....hes got his toys 65 GTO convertable w/a 421 and a tri-power and 67 catilina convertible

 

I like the idea. It would be different.

 

I was watching spike tv on saturday and they were putting in an LS2 in a nova with a six. You can get EVERYTHING you need out of any catalog (summit, jegs etc. etc) It would be cheaper than having stuff fabricated. Being unique isn't always a great idea. Shove a v8 in it and be happy.

 

Sell it, get a rustang, and put an rb26 in it.

Because apparently that's what's hot now-a-days.

In all seriousness... if you plan to do this, go with a 2JZ 6 speed tranny. I swear to god those things are unbreakable. I don't think you would really want to do the wiring yourself, it may be easier to do what the "supra-7" did back in the days and go with:

Best of luck whichever way you choose.

 

Being unique IS THE IDEA!!

That's why shops like mine stay busy!!
