    '73 Nova Hatchback, projekt we dont roll

    So I've wanted a 73 nova for at least as long as i've been driving, my dad always thought having a hatchback would be a cool car because of the rarity. I bought this today, body is strait, a couple small areas of rust, it's 41 years old after all. Lines are strait, no major dings or dents, all the body work is there less the engine and transmission.

    The go-kart is now for sale, $750 takes everything i have for it, i want it gone.

    not sure how long the pics will be up. This is it, stored inside the last 15 years so it's a bit dingy. The wife is excited about it and willing to get her hands dirty.

              Cool project, my father and I just got done doing a 65 Impala, my first muscle car, more his genre. I'm sure I'm going to love what you choose to do with this thing. Big block or small block?

                  it's under the tyranical ninja thread, i want it gone, has a gpz1000 kawisaki engine mounted in the back, i have everything from the bike including the bike and and most everything to make the kart run, some assembly required.

                  suffice to say small block turbo ;-)

                  Did some research, the inline 6 was 250 cid, 100hp/ 175lb/tq, weighed in at 3100lbs 0-60 14.2 seconds and milleage was 15.4mpg

                  The car was original 350 turbo fire 3 speed hydramatic, 145hp/ 255lb/tq, weighed in at 3397lbs, and got 11.7.

                  Goals are 250 hp and 265 torque at the wheels minimum, 24 ish mpg and less than 3100 lbs curb weight.


                  That said, said "small block turbo" produces 162hp and 195lb/tq in stock configuration - 8psi, and curb weight of said vehichle ranges from 3100-3330lbs and averaged 18-24mpg hehe
