Thanks, well it has a new interior which I hope to have pictures up soon the previous owner had it done I hope to change it up soon, it has a late model 350 in it with a 700r4 overdrive transmission with a B&m shifter. Has a flow master dual exhaust with 3" tips. American racing rims, air shocks in the back. The guy I bought it from decided to pull out the factory Ac and left everything exposed.... Yeah so I'm trying to replace what's needed and convert the compressor to the new freon. Hopefully that gets done soon.

I had a question and was curious, as to your guys opinions. Which would you prefer an ls engine or a vortec both would be small block V8s but I was curious at to what would get the most hp/torque/mpg haha yes mpg. Just a question any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im not a GM guy but Ive seen guys make good power on a budget with an LS motor stuffed in a Mustang. They make carb manifolds for the LS motors. Then I hear a simple cam and lift spring swap really makes them go.

An ls engine is going to take brackets to make it fit into the Nova and parts are a lot more expensive than a 350 like you have already. Ls engines make great power though. Something to think about.

Id def go with an LS motor, its a shame that the previous owner "removed the ac"...must not have been in the summer or he def would not have done that lol.
Looks good though what color are you going to paint it?

Color wise I'm still up in the air about, I'm really thinking about a gun metal grey or a dark blue/black all with racing stripes or possible 2tones or other I haven't really decided I just had to drop a small fortune for new brakes and finally rear tires so I can finally get rid of the air shocks hopefully I'll have a picture of the new stance and tires soon!
