  • My 1962 Chevy II Nova, out for the spring 2011. Been sitting for the last 6-7 winter months in storage (thats why the brakes are howling). Took a video of it since I was about to send it off to its new owner and I never really had anything of it all finished.

    -454, 10.5:1 Compression, CompCams 288/294 duration, 521/540 lift, hydraulic roller cam. Alum. heads etc.
    -400 Turbo trans with 3000 stall
    -3" mandrel bent exhaust with x-pipe and Dynatech mufflers.
    -Narrowed 9" ford, ladder bars, mini tubbed.
    -17x7 & 18x9.5 Billet Specialties Vintec Dished wheels
    -Shaved all the trim, handles, etc, cowl louvers filled, modified, smoothed firewall, custom one piece tail lights, tons of subtle changes to the car.

    Adam Lader sent me this video. I would kill to have that car. I currently own a '12 Mustang GT that runs mid 10's, but there is nothing like old school muscle.

    They were domed, it was about 10:5.1 or so compression. They were full floating pistons, roller cam, rockers, etc., 850 demon carb, dual plane intake, msd ignition. It does rev really quick actually. Its hard to say about your combo, it would likely rev quick with similar components... but theres never any that always work the same.

    9" ford with ladder bar/air ride suspension, yes mini tubbed and narrowed, dont recall the width though? Back wheels are 18x9 1/2" wide with 3 1/2" backspacing. Thanks for the compliments. -Gary

    All right, I guess I saw what I wanted to see. It's not my car, I was just explaining to you why he would set the idle so low. You're the only one saying negative shit about this bad ass car.

    Actually the whole time i was on the gas letting on and off it was spinning the tires lol. But no, it wont hardly do a burn out. all show and no go, just an rv cam with the choke on to sound good.

    @022dejon 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    What type of piston you have flat top or done I just like the way it revs so quick . Are you running pump gas I want the same set up . Do you think it would rev that quick with compression 9:5:1 -10:1 with xr288hr

    Hey Gary my names Joey. I just had to say WOW! I love your nova! I can say this is how I envision mine on the outside. It is perfect. I just bought a 62 nova shell and am starting from the ground up. I saw your details and just wanna know what the total cost was if that is you feel comfortable saying it. And also what parts would you recommend? Again Love the car and any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks again.

    you got a 3000 stall and a big cam in there with 3.23 gears ? you need more gear don't you ? good looking car ..my uncle had one of these. .sharps cars.

    • @hotrodgary
      @hotrodgary  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +james myers Thanks. Yes it was a low gear, I had a high gear for awhile and switched to a lower gear so i could cruise the highway more with it. went on several long trips and never had any issues with the low gear and high stall.

    • @blah9664
      @blah9664 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gary Alumbaugh cool..i didn't think it would run right like that. Im still learning though. I have 4.30s in my duster..its pretty fun but i may lower my gears eventually to like 3.90s or 3.55s .
