SVX Parts Central Project(Non-SVX)

Here are a couple of pics of our latest project that is about to hit the road.

It's a 1977 Nova Rally that we shoved a Olds 455 Rocket bored .030 over into with a TH350(soon to be TH400)transmission. It's using a 10 bolt rear with 3.73 posi. It hasn't been driven yet, But the one time we tested it, It sheared off all the bolts on the pinion yoke of the rearend when he mashed it.

Paint and interior will be finished soon as we are getting all the plumbing and wiring wrapped up now. Hope you guys like it.

I'll get some more detailed pics of the car soon, But by looking at the motor you can see the direction it's going.

Yeah, I was hoping this thread would bring the muscle car guys out of the wood work.

The last one I built was a 68 GTO...Built a bored out Pontiac 455 and 4-speed for it...ran 3.43 gears....could roast the tires from a 30mph rolling start

...and painted it 91 Subaru Electric Yellow

I had a 77 Nova but it had a slightly smaller engine (read: 6 cyl). Drove it for about a year until the heater core started leaking.

Mine was a 72 Gutlass Supreme w a Buick 455 and 3.23 posi, in yellow w black stripes. LOT of good stories about that one! ( LOST it in a 'custody' battle)

Latest 'NON SVX' project is a 1930 Willys Knight. Well, It is KINDA an SVX project, since the suspension is ALL gonna be SVX. Svxfiles delivered the rear 'set-up' yesterday and it WILL fit! He pulled it from the red one that was in his garage. I am using the front stuff too from the same car.
I am replacing the struts w coil-overs, but brakes, wheels, etc, are all SVX.

Power is and, will be Mopar. I guess that you can say that I am 'Grafting' the best parts from my favorite cars to build the 'perfect' Street Rod! (I built the car 10 years ago and got it back last year).

It will be a 'Rat-Rod' that handles like an SVX and runs like a Cuda!!! What a CONCEPT!!
