    Default 1987 Nova c20xe back to small block project

    It seems i can't say no when offered a nova This one came to me for some work 3 months ago when the previous owner bought a nova loon and no needed rid of it. when it came to me it wasnt running well at all and needs a bit of work. for this reason because the shell is so clean i am going to return it to small block 8v and keep the xe for my gsi. So i am on the look out for a small 8v engine i allready have a gearbox and driveshafts and im sure it wont take much to wire up the 8v . As you will see its a DIS c20xe f16 gearbox with an uprated fuel pump and a new rad.












    Future plans are fit an 8v and sell it on really i dont want to sell it with the xe in as i think i can find a better use for it and the bay has not been strengthened
