Kind of surprised this car is as fast as it is. Any idea of HP it has? Does the manualised Trans make much difference?

Sicckkkk, either way you got out on top. A nova sleeper......

Love it.

T4 Carbs are excellent!!!

Where can i get the steel wheels

The car needs a 350

I love everything about this car but I don't understand why you'd need (or want) a stall speed.

How does someone with zero automotive knowledge or tools get into this stuff? All videos like this show people with automotive backgrounds and plenty of tools and people to help out.

At time 23:40: My Wife was the same way. "Whats this . . .?" :)

Love the car and I'm super impressed with the times that 307 is running. I think you need a 3.73 or 4.10 gear and you'd be mid 13's

Good time at the track. Thanks again for sharing. Man, the flashbacks!

Great job Team Hatch! Car is running great and looks like you guys had a really good time, Thanks for sharing!!!

2nd time watching. Good Job. Need more content.

Nice Tour. Thanks. Best of luck to all projects.

Sounds good. try to get a dual plane intake, for better low RPM. Best of luck.

that was kick a$$ sir way to go really proud of ya so nice to see a budget racer raising heck with the veterans i don’t care what anyone says your nova is a beast

2nd time watch this episode. Like it. you should go with the 350ci. Best of luck with the 305 build.

Dude your nova inspires me to get my nova drag ready. Just got her dinally running and driving good but im sure theres stuff i need to change to pass tech. Also get some merch going! I want to represent!!!

Put my ball honed Valve lapped new cam and intake and carb 307 in my 71 Camaro the night before I left the Florida keys to do the last 3 legs of the Hot Rod Power tour. Wide open for hours. Not one issue and every toll booth was a race. I just floored it and watched the big boys go by.

Well I pulled the trigger and ordered a Quick Performance 9" with Truetrac posi, 31 spline and 3.70 gears ! Its made to swap, into my 70 Nova. 11" drum brakes and lines and e-brake also.

I didn't have a trailer, and I only lived 5 miles from the strip. So it was open headers on the way home. Of course the neighbors loved that.

Just had to watch this video again. I am soooo jealous! Because I been there, done that, same car, same color, same times. Lol. Thanks for sharing this!

Top pin goes in from the bottom up I do believe.also I think there is a size difference in the top and bottom pins, the bottom pin goes in pointed down. I think I recall that being correct from a mechanic on You Tube. I'm enjoying your sense of humor as you work, good way to get it done ;)

That intake is 3500 to 7500 RPM. Not great on the 304...unless you want a high RPM screamer. I'd try to get either a Performer for it or an RPM Air Gap. As for the trans, you can take a T5 from a Mustang (88-93) and put that in. Should bolt right up to the bellhousing. Just make sure it's a world class unit from a V8 Mustang. For the clutch, use something like a 79 Jeep CJ5. That will get you the right one.

invest in a 411 gear ! you will get more bang for the buck! you wont feel a big difference with the 6al or MSD.. a solid lifter cam will help you rev 6,000 6,500 82 yr old drag racer. Good luck guys

The KnottyNova 😁😁Looks like an old tree branch, Runs like a Gazelle!!!😂🤣😂🔧🛠️🔧🛠️Even in the button up office shirt, Thats Epic!! Exhaust is Proper now, Great job goin rounds. Good reaction times, 3rd yellow Bye Bye, thats the key. I done a bitta bracket racin in my koop, always dial in slow. You know it runs 13.85-14.20. if its hot runnin 14.10-14.20 dial 14.26-14.30 runnin 13.90s on a cool day dial 13.99- 14.05. That souuld keep you from breaking out. And... kill that tree!!! thats whwre your dial in stay close. 👍👍🤙🤙🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸

🤓👍

very nice

Was there a problem? You were .3 slower and off by 3mph

My last trip to track i holeshot my competitor by .3 and he was .2 faster than me. Yep i was ahead at the traps by a nose. Reaction time in slower car won. When I wanted to slow down I'd short shift. I did know what I'd run at different shift points/rpm

Great racing !!!

After that 1st pass, i'm wondering what the '70 weighs?

Not bad kid. Been a long time since I drove down Island Drag way , E / Gas,(straight -up, no dial in!). Yer doin' good, Keep goin'!,,, Love, DUBS,,,

I wish you the best. You definitely remind of my 69 in primer when I was in The Corp at Camp Lejune in the 80’s .

Man you guys are having fun . I miss drag racing. My friend rusty greer I used to go with him to Rockingham drag way in N.C. he was track champion a few times. Hey its in his family his dad was sherii Greer.1974 funny car champion . Man keep hanging youguys are awesome.

✊🏾 I thought I was watching Shop 209 😂😂😂… I would love to see my fav Nova guys racing cars that should be parts cars❤️😍🙃hint hint hint

4.10 gears mini spool ??? Used 4.10s around $10 or less and $50 - $60 for a mini spool !! Change those gears you'll drop half a second off and be more consistent !!! You can dial it into the hundreds like 14.28 !!! Better chance of winning doing that !!! Your selling yourself short by NOT dialing into the hundreds !!!!

It takes years of practice to run with the big dawgs. Those guys know their car inside and out - what it'll run in summer heat or cool fall air. And definitely know how to play the game. Most guys dial in about 2-4 tenths slower than what their car is capable of so they have something at the top end if you tree them - as you're VERY good at doing! 😯

Looks like you had a great day awesome video keep up the good work.

I'm sure your older buddies (Dad?) told you, but red lights in qualifying don't mean a thing. Same for R/T. You're just trying to figure out what your car will run that day.

Great work your excitement reminds me of year's ago weather going to the strip on Sunday morning or settling something up on a late Saturday night on some backroad

Wire a switch to your brake lights. Make the competition think you're on the brakes trying not to break out. You've gotta play the game

Great job killing it on the tree he was sand bagging you you’ll figure it out over time

Congratulations guys!

Good Job! like the car.

What type of gas do you use?turbo blue race gas?

What were your shift points you were using? Were you using all 3 gears or were you crossing the finish line in 2nd? What RPM does that thing stop pulling at, it should still be pulling to 6,500 and start nosing over shortly after that? When you get used to the sound of the exhaust you'll know where it's telling you to shift. But until then keep one eye on the tach or get a shift light, consistency is the name of the bracket racing game. If you want to use all three gears, do some rpm/mph calculations with different gear ratios to see where you will be close to the top of your RPM max at 100 mph in 3rd gear. A set of 4.56 rear gear might get you there? You should be able to shave off a few tenths to with more gear too. Unless you plan on upgrading the 307 the way we talked about? If so you'll have about 50 more lb ft of torque and 50 more HP at the crank on tap that would max the HP at 6,400 rpm with the head flow of those heads. The bigger the option you choose the more potential you'll have.😎👍

I love how no matter what you have a smile on your face!😊

Blue nova guy here. Nice to meet you. You did great, especially on the tree. Nothing better than a day at the track with friends and family with a car you put together. See you at the next one !

Dude I'm stoked! I'm going to the drags tonight and I'm pumped up! Watching your vid got more excited to go! Whoooo!
