1972 Chevy Nova Abandoned LS Swap: Reveal and Tear Down

A Friend just picked up this super nice 72 nova that happens to be missing a bunch of key parts and features an unfinished LS/4L60e swap. We’re diving headfirst into it and tearing it down before we can get started building back up. If anyone is interested in purchasing the Holley terminator X system or the L59 iron block 5.3 feel free to contact me. We may end up selling them and going with a different engine motor and harness (trans won’t be for sale).

Great video. Undertaking this soon.

Nice project 👌

[@the_langss]

Thanks for the Video... Damn Travis you remind me of me when I was a lot younger.... I think if the PO just had your help, and "Know How" that car would have been running long ago. Well his loss ... your gain. Going to be looking forward to your next Video with this car.

[@travisblack417]

Well he knows where to find me if he wants another go at it lol.

@@travisblack417 Oh No..Don't Do That...That Car Is A Reality Good Fit For You...Not To Mention Its 74, And Your Here With Me In Smog Hell...I Regret All The Pre 75 Cars I've Sold...Go Travis Go...

@@the_langss this car is a 72, and I meant if he wants to do an LS swap on a different car in the future. Also this car isn’t mine lol.

That car can be nice, but the black bumpers and wheels make it look like the last owner was trying to hide something. I'm thinking that bright trim would make a world of difference in the appearance.

[@alecweinstein4990]

There's some weird choices made on that swap. Whole lot of money could have gone to useful stuff but... paint and a Holley?

[@infamousnova]

Oh nice, weigh those fenders while they off lol

[@travisblack417]

I’ll be bringing my crane scale over to the car soon. They’re much lighter than both 68-72 a body fenders and 70-81 f body.

When you are free,,,lol I have a few projects for you on my 2K vette,,,hehehe

[@travisblack417]

[@dandaley2644]

How much for term x

[@vtwinaddicted5852]

I thought 72's were front steer?

[@travisblack417]

Nope, this thing is technically a 67-69 Camaro. This generation x body lasted until 1974. 1975+ are identical to the 70-81 f body.
