Now lift the back end up put 15×12 wheels with N 50 15 tires on and you got something ! Just lift the back end up ! We didn't drive cars nose high on the street Dan ! They were level with a straight axle , and were called street freaks !
I think you would have liked it a lot better with twin 450s. It’s still 900 CFM which I my opinion would be plenty…… my opinion. Plus your MPG would be better especially with a highway gear. Sounds cool for sure
I’m so impressed and inspired! You have made that ride in less than 30 days and now you are going to drive it to CTC! If you can pull this off you are truly THE MAN!!!!!👍👍
Love watching you do these builds. Another home run you hit this one out of the park. Looking forward to seeing the Queen drag racing this one and pulling the front wheels at the tree. Safe trip heading south good sir.
Hay FST thanks for the support for DAN as we have seen he need's all the help he can get .Just kidding partly but your help is greatly appreciated . Everything takes time and fine adjustments are needed when you have changed everything Dan . It's getting there Bro . Long road trip for sure and hope your ears and head aren't effected too badddd . But HELL man your driving the COOLEST Chevy ll Gasser from Canada to Mississippi . Have a Safe trip and be Careful . Warning AMERICAN COPS don't like Speeders . Great video Dan & Dani .
Thanks for your guidance steps through this long procedure. Wishing you guys hit your deadline in time. It promises to be a great adventure heading South.
Dan, add one of those Ford Starter relay and turn starter to one wire, works like a charm and no more really slow starter or no start until engine cools down.
You need some crankcase evacuation tubes that go from your valve covers to your headers it's like old-school stuff that used to be on hot rods keep the crankcase pressure out of the engine, that way you won't blow any China Wall seals on the back of your intake...
You should have hooked a cable up to the butterfly blades so you can use it as a choke, instead of welding them open. The tunnel ram set-ups take a very long time to warm up and don't run very well until fully warm.
You may need proper valve cover breather ventilation for your PVC vacuum to work properly, it maybe drawing to much of a crank case vacuum into the intake manifold. That can cause some of your Acceleration issues with those double hump 327 heads on the 350 block pulling a stronger vacuum, may also try going to a stronger PVC valve, block off PVC valve and see if there's a difference in exselleration response
When I was young there was a 69 nova called novacane a 69 camero called dustys dragon a 71 chevelle called sweet pea these are the things I remember this is one of few small blocks that sound close to the 55 in two lane black top the only thing that you need is the American Graffiti movies you go Dan
It is nice to see you are protecting your hearing i lost mine from years in the garage and machine shop , now i have to take one of my grandchildren withe me to listen for odd noises in the cars i work on
back i my old race car days, we used to make a short jump to the starter solenoid to the hot starter post and use a ford starter solenoid because the heat from the headers would cause the chevvy solenoid to get weak without full voltage, Of course, the fenderwell headers kinda eliminate that problem
You guys are just awesome. Someday you should take 1 of your many rides over to Nicks Garage on one of his Friday night LIVE sessions, tell him I sent ya, lol. Seriously, have fun, be safe, bring extra parts and tools, if you pass thru GA, let me know.
Dan don't forget to run valve cover breather or the chrome tube with breather on top or you will have rear main seal or timing cover oil leak from p red pressurized block.
You can do the bearing yourself. You let the Axel get cold hanging out of the freezer for about an hour or just put it in an ice chest get it ice cold. And heat up the bearing with your kitchen stove berner 3-4min.250 degrees.Or set the oven for 300 about 30 minutes assemble parts necessary grab the bearing with a hot pad lower it down the axle line it up around locateing surface and let go it will fall into place and cool and become attached as the axle heats up
I drove my 68 corvette convertible 900 miles with headers straight into side pipes they were muffled but not enough. My wife was driving and something fell off a semi crushed the right side pipe. I was so happy to pipe it all the way back. It sounds even better and is much more drivable.
Man Dan, that tunnel ram looks so wicked! The lettering job is perfect!!!! Hope u guys have a blast rippin across country in the hot rod!! Be safe and can't wait to see the footage!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 rock on 🤘!!!!
Better make a hood scoop and a foam bock to block the hole because you will run into rain and those two toilet bowls on top will channel a ton of water to the carbs. Could even make a removable scoop to show that bling off.
Get ya a pair of those yellow KC off road light covers for the velocity stacks. They work great! Just remember to take them off when running it. Don’t ask how I know! LOL
I tried in the past to get an FST carb but after waiting for about 4 months for them to ship, I could not wait any longer and went with another brand. Would still love to try one some day. Good luck on the trip. Hope to see you at Cruisin the Coast!
Dan l ran the same manifold on my 65 Chevy Malibu 331 cubic inch with 660 Holley carbs great on the street and track . Install a hidden ignition cut off switch you don't want the car stolen from the parking lot over night . Just saying be safe not sorry . Great build.
Those small air filters are starving for air I have this same bug Catcher on my nova I removed the air filter for local driving in the city no more stumble ,there’s a good episode of testing air cleaners on engine masters and those little air cleaners are the worst on it check it out Dan 😊
Shove steel wool in the tailpipes with a pin to hold them infor the drive . Pull the pins and stainless steel wool out when you get there or get some HD dragpipe baffles . Pin in pin out for rude
What a bitchn ride you guy's, great work Dan, and fast AF, if only most shops had that turn around time 😂😂. What a trip it would be to see Danny drive that beast the whole trip.
I love it,my only suggestion would be either build a shield around the fuel pressure regulator or move it a little further away from them headers. I'm running manifolds her in Florida and I fight with vapor lock all the time. Just a suggestion. Very nice little car. Love the Gas cars
If you want to quiet down the exhaust, put steel wool in the pipes near the tip. Use coat hangers in a X pattern to hold it in place. Drill across the pipe and bend the cart hangers. When you burn up the steel wool, pull the coat hanger pieces and repack the pipe. This will help during the trip. Don’t worry about CTC.
Hey Dan, love the car. You did a great job to it in a short time. When you took it out at the end of the video, I thought you were going to say, " I should put this motor and transmission in my Nomad. lol. The lettering on the car is awesome as well. Love your channel and videos. Take care and be safe.
Hello, Dan: It's great to see this old Nova evolving under your surefire expertise...ain't that the DD Speedshop way?! Joe's signage work is supercool as well.This car is close to perfection!
Hey Guys! Do me a favor and give FST carbs some love. Ken has given me a pile of technical support all summer. www.fstcarb.com/pages/contact-us
LOVE!
Another great video from Dan the man .
You got a link too that gps speedo? Lookin for a cheap "temporary" deal for my gasser jeep.
What's going on here Dan trying to make all of us happy or dancing with it's not too much for her to drive let's do this
The rubber gaskets are for no knowledge novest
I have to admit, this build is perfect. Lumpy cam, fenderwell headers, dual quads and a true Gasser front end. It screams old school hot rod ❤
Now lift the back end up put 15×12 wheels with N 50 15 tires on and you got something ! Just lift the back end up ! We didn't drive cars nose high on the street Dan ! They were level with a straight axle , and were called street freaks !
Giving shout outs to those who help you act out your imagination is mad respectful. 🤘🏼
I appreciate all the help I get
@@DDSpeedShop Abundantly clear. 👍🏼
🗿👍respect👍
Very cool thing to do!
When you're driving that Nova, all the guys on the road wish they were you.
Personally I don’t care for the hood scoop/carb hat but other that that it looks awesome! This is probably your best build.
Looks like a 4” cowl induction hood would make it all weather carb enclosure. It’s a better pick for long run & storage.
This Chevy 2 is one of your coolest builds Dan. It just screams old school muscle car. Gassers ROCK 👍😎✌️
I think you would have liked it a lot better with twin 450s. It’s still 900 CFM which I my opinion would be plenty…… my opinion. Plus your MPG would be better especially with a highway gear.
Sounds cool for sure
I do love this car ! I think I'd want it to be a bit quieter, for a road trip, but that's just me. Awesome painting by Joe 🥰
I’m so impressed and inspired! You have made that ride in less than 30 days and now you are going to drive it to CTC! If you can pull this off you are truly THE MAN!!!!!👍👍
Haha fingers crossed!
Thanks for the cruise DD Speedshop. Had fun today
Let's all shout together ..... straighten that steering wheel DAN
Speedway motors are the Best . Nova is looking good you have really out done yourself on this one good luck on your trip .
Freak n sweet , like it even more , every thing needs 2 carbs 👍👍😬😬😬
What you need is a plexiglass hood scoop so you can still see the stacks when it rains. Smiles 😃 from Huntsville Ontario 🇨🇦
With that red lettering, you need a clear, red acrylic hood scoop! Oh yeah baby!🥸
It's going to be a real steam machine if it rains without inner fender wells, great build and good luck on the road.
Love watching you do these builds. Another home run you hit this one out of the park. Looking forward to seeing the Queen drag racing this one and pulling the front wheels at the tree. Safe trip heading south good sir.
Dan's got the perfect idea😊 gasoline selling at almost $2 per liter, he's planning on a drive down to the States, let's put two carburetors on my car😢
Noone ever said I was smart haha
This thing is turning out great! Very cool little hot rod!
(N) ova priced
Brilliant!
Lady!!!!!! I'm Sooooo happy for you the car looks Vicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...(don't let him cannibalize the car)
Dan, the Quads look so freaking cool and the car sounds awesome. Best of luck.

Put SPEEDWAY MOTORS on the trunk. They deserve the advertising. Great Company to work with
Thanks for your guidance steps through this long procedure.
Wishing you guys hit your deadline in time.
It promises to be a great adventure heading South.
Dan, add one of those Ford Starter relay and turn starter to one wire, works like a charm and no more really slow starter or no start until engine cools down.
Awesome! I love the old school gasser look! Good job guys.
Could give a set of walker/dynomax turbo mufflers a try. Quiet highest flowing mufflers you can get but more restrictive.
HELL YEAH BROTHER!!! SHE A RIPPER!!! ✌🏻💗👍🏻OLD CHEVY NEVER DIE THEY GET MORE EXPENSIVE ✌🏻👍🏻

Saw the Nova this Morning...with the twin Carbs and Tunnel ram.. coming down Pembina Heading south, looks good, and sounds great..

🗿that 327 sounds Happy 🔥 Thanks for sharing Dan
Wire in a ford starter solenoid it helps a lot with heat soaked starters
Dan , have never been a fan of old school gassers but this car has grown on me . Thanks for the great channel ,I love it.
Yeah its pretty darn cool in my opinion haha
When I was young there was a 69 nova called novacane a 69 camero called dustys dragon a 71 chevelle called sweet pea these are the things I remember this is one of few small blocks that sound close to the 55 in two lane black top the only thing that you need is the American Graffiti movies you go Dan
Love that car good luck coming to Georgia have a safe trip
You need to get that AFR up to 13-14 to one under cruise or else you're going to be changing plugs along the way. It will make it snappier also.
Agreed. A tad less jet and a bit more squirt and it'll be singing happy tunes.
Taylor makes a nice electrical shut off, with a key you can remove. Thief deterrent. Looks good. Ronnie.
It is nice to see you are protecting your hearing i lost mine from years in the garage and machine shop , now i have to take one of my grandchildren withe me to listen for odd noises in the cars i work on
Yet another great build! Congrats.

Awesome! Love the art work and the tubbel ram is just what the car needed to complete the gasser look.
Dan don't forget to run valve cover breather or the chrome tube with breather on top or you will have rear main seal or timing cover oil leak from p red pressurized block.
Did anyone notice the garage door lights flicker when he reved that thing up awesome 👍
You can do the bearing yourself. You let the Axel get cold hanging out of the freezer for about an hour or just put it in an ice chest get it ice cold.

Way to go FST! American made and standing behind your products with excellent service.
Love the no hood scoop look,maybe for bad weather you could put magnets on the bottom of a hood scoop so you could easily remove it when not needed.
Yeah rain kills the fun party

Im sure your neighbors love you running your hot rods after dark😂😂😂
650's seem way too big but you gotta run what you got.😂
dou gotta have the somad tee w/ the car on it🤣nova princess is rockin 😁🤩scooter d😎ps love you guys stay safe🤩
Looking forward to see you at the coast, we will be there next Wednesday…
Man Dan, that tunnel ram looks so wicked! The lettering job is perfect!!!! Hope u guys have a blast rippin across country in the hot rod!! Be safe and can't wait to see the footage!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 rock on 🤘!!!!
I really like the nova Dan. Wasn't my cup of tea but definitely changed my mind. Wish you a safe trip down south.
12 volt Dave going to love this Gasser !!!! Dani you fine feller right there.
Love the paint! I have a feeling, your brain is gonna be numb, at the end of the 1500 mile trek! Cool build!
The Original white lacquer paint could be color sanded & look a lot better than black grease finger on the paint now.
Better make a hood scoop and a foam bock to block the hole because you will run into rain and those two toilet bowls on top will channel a ton of water to the carbs. Could even make a removable scoop to show that bling off.
Great content, great video.
Get ya a pair of those yellow KC off road light covers for the velocity stacks. They work great! Just remember to take them off when running it. Don’t ask how I know! LOL
The car looking/sounding great Ik it came along way that's for sure
What a great build in a short time, it shows how much you enjoyed building this car.
Seal beams will catch heck with no inner fenders Dan
All duped up sounds great 😮😅❤
Damn Dan! I was just going to complain about nothing poking through the hood! Awesome build!
Hey Dan
This is an awesome build. All my best for your trip down and yours and Dannie's time on the coast.
Take care😊
I tried in the past to get an FST carb but after waiting for about 4 months for them to ship, I could not wait any longer and went with another brand. Would still love to try one some day. Good luck on the trip. Hope to see you at Cruisin the Coast!
I can't wait to hear you blast down the road with this gaser with the duel carbs
Same here!
Super AWESOME !!!
Man, that single 4bbl. would be so nice and reliable. ......
So very very true
Dan l ran the same manifold on my 65 Chevy Malibu 331 cubic inch with 660 Holley carbs great on the street and track . Install a hidden ignition cut off switch you don't want the car stolen from the parking lot over night . Just saying be safe not sorry . Great build.
You know it!
You nailed it dan its pretty awesome , 1500 miles that should be interesting and painful , should be a blast !
Painful yes haha
Those small air filters are starving for air I have this same bug Catcher on my nova I removed the air filter for local driving in the city no more stumble ,there’s a good episode of testing air cleaners on engine masters and those little air cleaners are the worst on it check it out Dan 😊
More headliner's less carbs just kidding around with you just I fun enjoy your videos
nice build remember tunnel rams like high end more than low end keep up the goods
Shove steel wool in the tailpipes with a pin to hold them infor the drive . Pull the pins and stainless steel wool out when you get there or get some HD dragpipe baffles . Pin in pin out for rude
So cool. Glad you picked the old school intake. I did up 318 in my opa's 68 fury III with a single 650. Miss that Mopar. Thanks for the content
Loving this build, and what you are doing with it, personally still prefer the 55, but this is awesome too...
Looking so good....I have a FST 750 mechanical sec. on my C-10 works flawless!
Nice!
It really sounds good.
What a bitchn ride you guy's, great work Dan, and fast AF, if only most shops had that turn around time 😂😂. What a trip it would be to see Danny drive that beast the whole trip.
Nice, Real Nice!
Car sounds mean! Like it!💯😎
What a dream
Man I can't wait to see a video of Danni blasting this monster down the track
I loved Dani's first little tack. 😅
LOL "It's a problem for future Dan" LOL
awesome job. i wish I was able to go to cruising the coast but oh well
Love the tunnel ram look it’s a awesome looking hot rod love the graphics you put on the side keep hot rodding
Keeping it old school 🚸 cool 😎 that's the DD SPEED SHOP way 😂 lol
With the old school intake it just seems right with the old school scoop with buttery. Classic like car.
Flower pots and a clear heavy wall plastic box scoop to accentuate those carbs,plus making life easier in the rain.
Check the arm tension on the pump spring that's usually the problem when you have a stumble or maybe the accelerator cam on the carburetor
I love it,my only suggestion would be either build a shield around the fuel pressure regulator or move it a little further away from them headers. I'm running manifolds her in Florida and I fight with vapor lock all the time. Just a suggestion. Very nice little car. Love the Gas cars
At cruising the coast,how can I find ya'll on Wednesday?me and my wife coming to see ya'll!!
