My 1965 Nova II- 8.85@153.5 - Turbo kit FS

Awesome numbers! Did you stick with the original S480 or did I miss an upgrade somewhere? Is it the cast wheel version or billet? I see it doesn’t have a race cover.

Very impressive build. Now come to Albany and finish mine please. :lol:

Thanks a ton everyone! So happy

It is the cast S480 off the shelf from Forced Inductions. The motor has ls9 gaskets, speed inc TU1.5 cam kit, LS6 inake mani and TB.

Link to your build thread? I was just in Albany two weeks ago for a week! I travel there for work sometimes.

I have been gathering pictures but didn’t start a build thread yet because I work way too slow and people would get bored. Waiting until it’s closer to being done. :lol:

Mine is a 1969 Chevelle I brought back from Tucson. Car is completely blown apart right now and ready for paint. 12 point cage installed, gathering parts to build a forged 6.0 for it, but getting it together with a cam only 5.3 for now. LJMS stage 2 cam, Holly Hi-ram intake, Forced inductions 84mm billet wheel turbo with a T6 1.32 exhaust, Jakes 4L80E trans, PTC converter, Fab9 rear, Global West suspension, all steel and keeping the bench seat. :slight_smile:

Doing the hotside fab work now. Then car goes to the paint shop to use their booth to spray it and the re-assembly begins!

Next time out here let me know. You can stop over and check it out and I will show you around our local car scene. 8)

That sounds like a blast! I was considering that turbo. If I build a motor I will probably upgrade.

Get a build thread up. :tup:

Jesus Drew, that’s nuts! I’ll send the '55 over for you to swap this drivetrain into.

I would be very interested in working on the 55. Ill make the turbo kit if you do the swap. Jus sayin.

My buddy Shawn is heading over now. Have a few things to look at(speedo not working and gas gauge) but i was going to cruise later if anyone wants.

To clarify when i say cruise i mean hangout, drive around, parks, icecream. Not racing lol

I’m free after 7 and everyone knows my love of ice cream :lol:

Nice. We should still be out id guess. Im trying to figure out the speedo now.

Here is a start anyway. I am having trouble getting some pictures to upload now. I will post more up later.

Bet this will run 9 flat at Palmdale.

I am going to try to run the track Wednesday. Hoping to do 140mph. We shall see.

OK, definitely need to see this. Sounds bad ass!

Sweet Mary of Mother Fuck… :tup:

It sounded like an angry death machine was coming at me.

Nice! More inspiration!
