DanG Dec 31st, 03, 4:33 PM Anyone ever done a conversion on a Nova (70) from 6 cylinder to V-8? Anything tricky about it? As I look at it, it looks pretty straight forward... new frame mounts, radiator, etc.? Anyone know a good tech site for novas? onovakind67 Dec 31st, 03, 6:49 PM http://www.stevesnovasite.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl drptop70ss Dec 31st, 03, 6:52 PM I have done a bunch of them, either to SB or BB. Just need v8 frame mounts, exhaust, and other small items like heater hoses. Alternator wiring has to get routed differently. The 6cyl radiator will work ok with a SB other than a 400 and I normally trash the glide for a TH350 at the same time. 19Nova72 Jan 1st, 04, 12:28 AM Heres all the info you'll need: http://rmcavoy.freeshell.org/6to8.html Zman Jan 1st, 04, 6:46 AM One thing to add... If you have a 307, make sure you get the correct frame stands. 307s have a different mount than any of the other V8s. Ask me how I know.... redface.gif drptop70ss Jan 1st, 04, 7:05 PM 307 mount frame stand doesnt matter when going to a SB or BB. I know because I have done it. smile.gif DanG Jan 1st, 04, 7:45 PM Great info... thanks guys. Think I'm gonna do a Nova. | ||
