Nova for the following reasons. 1. Your traction issues can be solved cheaper and easier. 2. Short wheelbase and weight made for a very consistent drag chassis 3. Other parts to repair the car will be cheap. 4. AMERICAN MUSCLE BOOMITY BOOM BOOM BOOM MAKIN DA POWER AND JAM! ---

the 600hp part sure isnt. 🙂 his way of building it and using MS to run it wasnt either i suppose either. i still vote BMW powered nova for the wierdness factor. 🙂 though i bet overall it might be cheaper to fab up some bracing, add trailing arms and a panhard rod and use a 9" in the 328 chassis than swap it into the nova… provided its a DIY affair. who knows the final price though.

Sell the BMW and get the Nova and Fifty Cheven’s LS1. A musclecar for less than $8000. Call it a day. ---

Hell, you know I love me a vintage muscle car any day of the week. …but I love your 600-horse sleeper Bimmer more. Keep it - and keep at it. ---

ill probably stick with the bmw and try to find ways to strengthin it some. May even be up for sale in the spring after its done. I feel super burnt out right now, and i kinda need a break from the whole car thing. i swear im bi-polar when it comes to cars.
