Hi,
We have a 1974 Nova and it's time to upgrade. We are the original owners and know it's history.
It has a 6-cyl 250, 3 speed transmission and drum brakes.
My upgrade plans include the following major steps
- Install V8 engine (283, 307, or 350, low octane with good MPG)
- Overhaul the front end
- Overhaul the transmission
- Overhaul the differential
- Install disk brakes on the front
- Replace front and rear springs
Please share with us your experience, parts lists, to-do lists, etc. for jobs you've done similar to this. We'd appreciate the information.
Also, we're located in San Diego so if you have shops or suppliers to recommend we'd appreciate that too.
Thanks, Charlie
