    I have a 1973 Chevy Nova 350. I bought aluminum heads after market hyperforming.Exhaust.I'm picking out a cam right now. Engine casing# 8956618 Google lol says it's actually a 3956618 Which is a 1969 Chevy camaro or Chevy corvette 300 hundred horsepower motor? They say that they also put it in the 1973 chevy nova? I installed the Holly Sniper EFI 😢 and it runs like shit. Timing? Fuel pressure? I'm 57 years old, and fckn want to do a shit ton of burn 🔥 outs before I'm 6 feet under.

    good job but to be definitively efficient, you should put grease everywhere. grease et the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind metallic bumper, under the vehicle, behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside the body - hidden erea - instead of using paint), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and poor old oil everywhere each year.Handyman Experience - 35 years. From france

    Adjust the preload from the bottom, 1/4 or 1/2 turn up from the bottom. That way the oil pumps up much quicker after bleed down and you get instant oil pressure on start up.

      @@flyin4speed I removed the starter the other day, and I still can't turn it. It's hard to turn over with an 18in ratchet even with the plugs out. Currently I'm scared I'm going to strip or break off the crank bolt. I'll pull the plugs again to see if it makes a difference, but I'm sure it will be minimal. I had 2 batteries in parallel and it cranked slow. The amperage draw was heating up the pos batt terminal pretty bad. Last owner said compression was pretty much normal. It has been sitting for a long time. I started searching for Nova engine removals to get my motivation up.

    Did you get the 215 heads installed on the engine yet? Man I'm curious how well these heads perform. I just bought a pair of 215's like yours and a pair of 063's . Any dyno numbers etc??

    • @flyin4speed
      @flyin4speed 2 роки тому

      No i went the aluminum heads route. i’d guess they’d be good to 550hp and maybe 6000 rpm stock ports. They’ll make a stock 454 piston though about 9:1 compression.
