Re: 1968 Nova

Your Nova brings back memories!
Buddy and I built a 72 back about 25 years ago. Yanked the six and glide for his kid’s 66 gmc.
We pulled off the front subframe and used a 75 nova one for the front steer set up. Had to build some mounts and a few cuts and mods of course. We wanted room for a set of 2 1/4 inch headers for the L-88 we where gonna use. Put an m22 and 4.88 12 bolt in it.
Scary ride!
Sideways all the way thru 3rd.

I’ve seen grooved bearings like that before. Never did figure out why they where used. Maybe better oiling on that journal. Just on one journal too. Maybe a quick fix kinda thing.
If only the motor could talk! LOL!

That’s certainly a rocking piston. Saw the same on an LS6 when it was new. I bought the 70 chevelle from a buddy who was the original owner. It had 3 pistons like that and the motor was replaced by the factory.

Nice project.
Makes me wish I had a garage.
