Quote from the builder of this Nova.

“I wanted a road race, vintage Trans-Aminspired car,” stated Jon. He started with a 1970 Nova. Before doing anything,he knew that in order to get the wheels and stance just right, the fenders had to be stretched. After media blasting the car and stripping it down to the frame, all four fenders are stretched two-inches to allow for up to a 10″ wheel up front and 14″ wheel in the back if he so desires. In addition to stretching the fenders, a set ofDetroit Speedmini tub sallowed for extra breathing room.

TheBase: Suspension

We all know that the factory suspension wouldn’t be up to par with these plans. Ditching all that, he slipped acompleteChris Alston Chassisworksfront end under the car. In the rear a modifiedG-Bar 4-link was installed withCurrie Enterprisesbillet arms, Johnny Joints and a full floaterCurrie rear end. In order to stiffen up the chassis and increase safety, a12-point roll cage was installed. Dampening is handled at all four corners withFoxtriple adjustable PODIUM shocks.

In order to get the car stopping, a massive set ofBaer 6P brakeswere installed at all corners with 14″ rotors. Wrapping the brakes is a set ofAmericanRacingVF503 wheels, with a traditional pinstripe to set them off. The fronts are 18×9 withFalken615K 275/35 series tires and the rears are 18×11with a 315/30 series tire.

We can see how this car oozes Trans-Amwith a modern street twist to it.

Exteriorand Interior Attention

The Dupont VW Chili Pepper Red grabs attention on this Nova a mile away. Finished with the Toyota White stripes,everybody is stopping to look at this ride. A few custom touches were done on the body as well such as a ’69 Firebird rear bumper,Anvil Autocarbon fiber hood and a custom front bumper.

A custom adjustable rear spoiler completes the Trans-Am look of this Nova while the shaved door locks and cowl panel clean up the lines of the car.If you pay attention closely, you’ll notice a set of custom 3D printed fender vents too. Fesler build supplied the cool door handles, hood hinges, trunk hinges and tail lights. Another coolpiece on this Nova is the Warnoff-road lights which act as headlights.

On the interior, the theme is carried through out. A custom sheetmetal dash adorns a full cluster ofAuto Metergauges.Clayton Machine Workswas utilized for door handles and the pedal set up while theIdiditcolumn features aBudnikwheel andTwist Machinepaddle shifters.

To keep the driver safe and comfortable,Cipher Autoseats were installed. The rest of the interior consists of sheet metal door panels,LineXfloors withDynamatand aTMI Productsone piece headliner. The interior is clean but all business – the only creature comfort is aVintage Airheater and Cold A/C for those hot days and cold mornings.

TheHeartbeat

The heart of the Nova surprisingly isn’t an LS engine. Keeping true to the builder’s inspiration, just went BBC. However,an ordinary BBC wouldn’t do. Starting with a 454, Jon bored and stroked the engine out to 468 cubic-inches utilizing a GM billet crank and H-Beam rods andaComp Camshydraulic roller camshaft. A set ofEdelbrockPerformer heads and Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake keeps the air flowing in this engine.

Going a step further out of the ordinary, Jon installed a singleCX RacingT4 78mm turbo set up on this BBC to make sure that he will put the hurting on a few LS powered cars. A completeFiTechunit keeps the fuel properly mixed for the engine, which a complete HyperFuel system does the job of supplying fuel to the FiTech unit. Exhaust is expelled through a se tofGibsonmufflers after going through a custom set of headers that have been ceramic coated.Cooling for the turbo is a CX Racing intercooler and anAutoRadradiatorset up keeps the BBC cool at all times. Behind the powerful BBC is a built4L80E transmission. This transmission is mated the theCurrierear end with anInland EmpireDrivelinedriveshaft.
