Best of luck with it fella :)
Always been one of my Favourate Nova's and a true inspiration to me and lots of others. Will be watching this thread closely and look forward to the updates.

lovely example this pall belter of a car!!
One of the best on here Martin :D
Looking forward to seeing it all built up again come spring
you tend to get more bottom end torque with carbs because of the chokes instead of just a direct hole/port with a butterfly thats my opinon anyway :thumb:Quote:

Think the wiring may need a sort out. Alot of things no longer used that need removing.

Heater never worked properly, so ripped this out to save some space behind the dash, and save weight also.
Next job was start to remove the firewall.
Spot-Weld drill was blunt so just drilled through to remove as neat as i could.

Engine went to the builders on Saturday. Whilst i was there he had this on the dyno.
It made 520Bhp and 400+ lbs of torque.

My little vauxhall will feel a little puny around all these engine pruducing 500+ Bhp!!
When i get more done i will post some more pics.
Cheers
