Mikes Nova came to us as an ongoing project. It was a running car at one point, but as most projects it had more than a few changes. It started out with an engine swap, then morphed into suspension upgrades, then more tire room, to a complete respray. The engine is an LSX 454 crate engine topped with a F.A.S.T intake and 102mm throttle body, Holley Dominator EFI computer drives the EFI. A Tremec Magnum T-56 six speed transmission transfers power to a Currie 9" Ford rear end with 4.10 gears. The suspension is all Ridetech. The front consists of tubular A-arms, Shockwaves and Tru-Turn kit. The rear is a custom triangulated 4-link, shock waves & custom sway bar. We threw the whole Vintage Air package on it, Front Runner kit and gen II heat & A/C. Autometer gauges in a Covan insert to finish off the dash. We smoothed out the body, installed custom door handles, carbon fiber hood and trunk lid. Sprayed the whole car in PPG's finest. |
