How many engine conversions, and cars have you built?

And how old are you?

You sound like a 17yr old, with there first car "wantin boost"


No offence, but you need to do alot of reasearch for the task in hand.

Aint built any cars mate but i have a friend who is more than capable, sorry if i came across as a 17 year old who wants boost but i aint

And no i put an ad in parts wanted the other day to scource the parts i need

all i need to know is the basic what i need and what engine bay mods(if any) without having to do a search and go through every let related thread. thanks Jon

Ok fella

Personally id say a c20let isnt for you.

Whats your list of fast cars you have owned?

As a c20let nova isnt the easiest to drive.

I got about 300ft and switched it off shaking

Think you've described yourself there Matt! Pot calling kettle lmfao!

If you drive like Brian O'Connor then I'll say "I've seen the way you drive, you've got a heavy foot. You'll blow yourself to pieces"

Seriously though, LET Novas aren't scary if you drive sensibly. Drive everywhere like you're late will mean poo in pants and a smashy smashy time.

As well as the engine and gearbox, you'll need: Engine bay strengthening plates (Harry Hockley), stitch welding (best to do this whilst the plates are going in), front suspension turret plates, big block conversion mount and if you're going down the F28 gearbox route; a F28 mount kit. Suitable shafts to use the gearbox, a compatible accelerator cable.

There really is a good list of things that need uprating and stuff to buy. Go into any of the LET project threads and you'll visually see what's needed and/or done.

I for one have started a LET project so I have got like 95% of the stuff I need so you can have a look there to give you an idea. Also there is a thread in the articles section that tells you what you need to fit a big block into a Nova
