The younger kids are into fuel injected super charged motors. Oh course it’s going to make huge power with a blower but try it with a single carb.

kids today will never experience what we did, even if they have the cars. it was a different time. i grew up around hot rods, going to the store in a 66 impala ss, 69 chevelle , 70 nova ss, etc. always something with a big block in the yard. my mom has a picture of me grinning in the passenger seat of my uncle's 63 split window. big smile after he took me for a tire burning ride. the amount of tire burning we did in those times was amazing. everything now has traction or traction control. i can remember on my way home from school swinging in to dairy queen, and blowing donuts out back in my 65 chevy 2. don't see many doing that shit anymore

Fuck politics.. 

Definitely agree 👍, sounds badass. My bud has a 69 nova just a 350 with little work done yours sounds better. I did a cowl, dash and around the pillars 3 years ago in my old garage over the winter. It was rotted to hell and poured water into the car every time he got caught in rain.

Yeah I was born right in the middle of the party but none the less I still experienced years of hot rod Chevrolets. My dad was huge Chevrolet fan. I still remember shifting the 65 Chevelle SS when I would sit on the driveshaft tunnel lol

There will never be another experience like it was from 1950-1970. Just glad I got involved thanks to family members and friends.

A friend of mine just finished up his motor on his Nova.

Looks like 1973 nova. 
resto mod. Hybrid. 
sorry not a fan of it.

Hes had it for as long as I've known him. It was basically stock for the longest time and had been sitting for 10+ years. He was going through a shitty deal with his ex. That's over now and he's been doing alot of changes to it.

He likes his turbos. He's got one on his 03 Sierra and his Renegade Atv. Don't think his G8 has one though.
