🇺🇸My only advice is that you should build it with no regrets afterwards. If ur thinking Big Block then u already know in ur heart that that's the way u wanna go. All In or All Out!!!! NEVER LIFT🤙🇺🇸🙏
Its a hard game to get into when you go big block and big tire the bottom is endlass as far as that setup Small block, small tire, super lightweight something that will go down any road at any time big block and big tire is a ridiculous class/style car to get into right now Much love from the northeast
Watching these vids backwards. No one should ever underestimate either one of you. It's great to see you take your dad's advice. But still make decisions. Like most people on these channels. We along for ride. Just this shirt time saw u both get so much valuable experience. Your response times and knowledge at your ages are amazing. Humble. Keep it up. Big block? 396?
You’re the luckiest kid alive. Not the car... but the fact you have an old man that’s into the same thing. And brother. Plus the shop (where all the memories are made).
I respect you Billy for you appreciate where you came from. When you said “it will be a damn good car for us” that just shows you are selfless and thats a win in my book sir. Looking forward to the content coming!
@@The1crazycaper a sponsorship would be great. I don't think TSP is right for the channel though. A lot of us are here because they don't run LS engines and all TSP builds is LS and gen 3 Chrysler Hemi engines. Lots of shops build great engine. Don't need everyone on youtube repping TSP.
OUTFRICKINSTANDING! Gold and black top paint scheme? Yes. 500 - 502 CI twin turbo blow through? Yes. Twin Precision PT8685 GEN2 CEA turbos? Yes. Same boost control components, strategy and fueling used on the S10? Yes. Tons of adjustable power with a big learning curve. But on the plus side, a VERY fast car without pushing it to it's limits. Sure it's gonna be costly and take time, but in the end it will all be worth it. I think it's fantastic that you guys snagged this legendary car and can bring it back to life. IMHO, it's exactly what you needed for the next step up in your racing career. One things for sure, it's gonna be a bad ass street car again. Big time congrats.
Congratulations on the new car!! I remember that car from back in the day. Big block for sure single or twins!! Can't wait to see the build and great content!! I am happy for you!!
20 Lbs on a 500 Puts out 2000???? That would be the way to go Billy. BLOW's my mind The Power You guy's make. I met yal in Albany last year or a few months ago and was at the finish line when you and S10 Patch's flew by. I'd go with a combination like your talking about and build on that. Lord Knows Its In You!!!! PEACE Billy
Good luck with the car. I told your dad earlier on his channel we race a 69’ Nova with a bbc. It’s got a 4 link as well but we are running N/A on ours. It’s a great platform! Nice you’ve already got tubular front suspension and a rack. Those are things we still need to do because with a bbc the steering box hits the stock pan, which gives it a very small turning radius. Can’t wait to see what y’all do with it
HERES MY TWO CENTS. I HAD A 1969 Nova in high school. 1973 it wasn’t that old and had low miles. 307 Powerglide never got beat by a four speed 350 Camaro. Anyway it was gold too and bottom. That color gold was only 69 Nova and 1964 Cadillac. Go to paint store and see if you like it. I loved it because it wasn’t 24 karat gold color it was a VERY NICE TINT.. no black top a top with different color distracts from the overall look. My 2 cents. GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!
Damn Billy. I rem trying to get a 302 fox with twin62s figured out back in mid 2000s. Pat was flyin with that thing making BIG strides. I remember being so fustrated watching hime run bottom 8s like nothing and we could barely get down with a low 9. I struggled for a cple yrs with the turbo tech back then. What an inspirational car to have! That car was very well known up in the North!
Two cars is a huge commitment and really tough to stay on top of even with the resources of the three of you. And there's the $$ part. I'd take the drivetrain from the S10 and set the truck off to the side, you can always come back to it. Really nice to have an already sorted engine and trans combo for compare and contrast as you dial in the Nova. Between the weight savings, aero and power to the ground that small block - Nova combo should get you where you want to be. And probably a year sooner. If you want to go big block later the car will be sorted by the time that's ready. Notice how well a step at a time has worked on the S10, just some food for thought. Good luck and enjoy!!
While Camaros were shifting my Powerglide was getting it. They use Powerglides on dirt tracks and drag strips. Easy to rebuild and performance unmatched
Sounds like you just bought your dream car! Nova looks badass! I say keep the sbc, heck y’all bust people with a sbc and heavy truck that shouldn’t be as fast as it is!
500+ CI BBC/2SPD Turbo Glide/Built 9" Rear/Twin VSRacing Billet 88mm(Budget Boys) or Big Ol' Single Precision Pro Mod Gen2 110mm($$$ Ballin) on E85/Meth ...Keep it a Blow Thru Carb Setup of course for the Nostalgia. Keep up the good work BTK T2G & POPS, Would love to see the new car make a hit at Yellow Belly (The Gut) 1/8th Track in Dallas, if the car can get down that pavement your gold anywhere else in the states
Billy, my suggestion is take a small block and spare parts you have and build it. Run it with a small block and take your time and build a ass kicking block and tear up the streets with it. And tear up the streets with the S-10. You will do fine to start out with a small block and later drop the big block in the Nova. I think you will be very competitive with the old man at your side.
Just remember Chuck from 405 ran a sbc and small tires and was super fast but big cubic is really great you can start and their is no limitations on hp.. good luck "Kid" 👍👍
Love the car Good luck with it Don't forget to have fun Life is short Enjoy it It's nice to see That they're still Strong Family out there You're lucky That you have Dad and mom That I love you Very lucky man God bless
I'm excited as hell by the Nova! It looks like it has serious potential, and I'm sure you guy's will work to figure it out, and make it a winner. With your driving skill and work ethic, Pops old man wisdom and attention to detail, you'll be flyin in no time! Much luck and love from Cincy.
Young man you have your youth and your Dad. You have all you need, build it the way you WANT. You have the rest of your life to grow old, your only young once, enjoy it. Be as financially responsible (as possible in the process.) Power down, nose up, sir.
Have you ever just been exceedingly happy for someone else? Awesome. Loving this. I thought something was up first time I saw the RC Nova. My first car was a 63 nova ss. Keep living the dream. Best.
Big block is going to have a lot more torque. More difficult to hookup especially on street! Gotta get traction , spinning ain't winning! Love the car it's just Badass! Gold with black top is gonna look sweet! Great job guys!! Thanks!
there is an old saying Billy , I wish I have done it the way I wanted to , I think you understand , I don't have to tell you what engine to put in your Nova , You know what to do, It's time for you to come up and you deserve it , be safe
Billy put a 481 X in that Nova.If you can find one . Cause they are big$$ for a new one . Even used they're crazy money . Whatever you do good luck kid . We have faith in ya.
You should build an identical small block for the nova as the truck so if one is blown up or broke somehow you can swap between the two. Maybe even upgrade the little M to aluminum rods and what not so you can make a little more power safely and then build an identical one for the nova. Just an idea can't wait to see the progress you and your family are awesome people. God bless
The way you an ur dad built an ran that little s10, wow I can't wait 4, y'all 2, put a big an nasty big block in it. Congratulations on this car an build. Good luck, oh paint it battle ship grey
A big block gets my vote!!! Possibly a big bore, short stroke setup with some SR20 cylinder heads (minimum 4.600 bore required for those heads). That car is gonna be a beast once again either way. Good luck on the build guys!!! #SRCNation
Billy congratulations on the new car. Good luck with it no matter what route you decide to travel. I know you and your dad will enjoy the new challenge
Some advice i am sure your old man will agree with. Build what you want the 1st time even if it takes a little longer. If you want a big block then get one. We build race quads for my son.....and i build them once so i dont have to keep changing stuff
@@baby-sharkgto4902 for real bro, texas speed is awesome but for what billy wants to do he's gonna have to go bbc or hemi and if he wants to be competitive in today's no prep racing he's gonna be spending a pretty penny
BUY SOME M'F'N MERCH GUYS AND GALS! I know that I am...we can all be part of the team...just like we built up the guys on Street Outlaws and all of the other racing teams out there...I'll help out any way that I can...I can only do so much from home due to a catastrophic spinal snafu that has left me unable to go to the tracks to see the races in person...I watch everything on my tablet and big screen...I street raced for a few years and I love it along with any other motorsports...
big block you will love a big block after you drive it. factory gold with a black vinyl top would be sick. get all the literature you can get your hands on for the 4 link. the book Door Slammers is a good one. you can get yourself in serious trouble if its not adjusted right, especially on the big end when you get off the throttle. cant wait to see it progress have fun with it and be careful. i would love to put a glass nose on mine but money is tight now days.
Really happy to see you building a Nova brother. 👍 I started my racing career at 16 in a 72 Rally Nova. It's where the "Parkway Racer" was born. My advice is go big block, I can see it's what you really want to do. Any other decisions will make you unhappy, trust me.
Lucky man!!! She is a beauty!!! Myself, I want a stroker 406 but, that is for a specific reason (sentimental reasons!) But, yeah! Big block!!! I like black & silver with hints of blue
You are M on the right track with a aluminum Dart big M block, if, you can get one....my feeling is go with the 60mm camshaft, keep the stroke short, big bore....be safe, God Bless!!
There is no replacement for displacement . If you can swing it go with a big block . As far as paint take 2 of your favorite colors and run with it . Before vinyl tops they would paint a light color from the sail panel upon the roof . So if you went black & gold . Deck lid quarters doors fenders hood window pillers would be black sail panels roof would be gold .
If you have the big block in your mind (with being your dads age,and having regrets of "i should have done that!damit!) Then build it how you really want to Billy!even if it takes a little longer, promise that its worth it bud! Sure this car will be super fun to watch&follow! Fun watching it come together too kid! Your a great young man & a hell of a driver.so build the car to match!
100 percent big block. More durable more power to work with especially once you go big tire. One and done. And love the idea of the color combo as well. Good luck with the build.
Congrats on the new car and gold with a black top would look really good. I'm sure you can find a gently used aluminum big block for sale thats complete for way less then it would cost to build one new. Can't wait to see what you do with it
I would like to see a small block. I know making power is more of a challenge but a small block lineup would be nice. Like you dad says parts can interchange
Love the car. Put what you already have in the car, enjoy it. Yes a big block would be nice, but then you need more converter, transmission, etc. Big cost to go a little faster. Stay SBC.
Old man you got one more in ya then tell the boys your on your own just like you did. You gave them the skills to run with it you should be damn proud they growed up. Roll into retirement. And help as needed to keep it going. You deserve it. Life's too short and you proved yourself a thousand times over. My two cents.
Go big block, no replacement for displacement! You boys will probably make more power than I could ever dream of. But I’m planning to build a 496 big block with an 8-71 roots blower to put in a third GEN Camaro.🤘😜
Glad to see you trying to step your game up If you guys need anything as far as Blockheads rods Pistons Got everything still in boxes all new stuff you need anything just let me know
I see few other’s keep saying Bbc It must be the way to go .I have to agree I it’s a big M block 50 lbs. less If you already tried a abc with 1200hp and going to a big block 2,000 hp ... with abc the Rpms turns up faster but if you make the big block turn up like abc it’s on I always done abc I’m at the same boat doing abc 406 but has a bbc also but it don’t have 2,000 hp but over you look like you have. A wonderful father who look like he will do what ever it takes to help you out I miss my dad been almost 21 years just remember your dad on Father’s Day
Big block for sure and that color scheme would look sick!!! 4 link is the best IMO!! Holley Dominator for ecu it’s awesome you’ll love it it’s very user friendly.
Been waiting Billy for this for over a year now this car will level the playing field with the other guys that u have been racing last year or so and color on the RC car wld look bad ass and u r a wheel man billy drive your ass off good luck on the rest of build
I personally would love to see you do NPK. Do you have to be invited to those events? You guys would do great. Billy has the talent &, pops has the brains!! Lol
Big block is the way to go 100% I help my buddy in with his car racing building etc and at 22lbs his last dyno session he hit 2112hp to the wheel although his is fuel injected alot easier to tune etc but what I don't understand is why alot of you guys doing these races arnt switching over the the new fuel techs I get haltech and shit is good but once of used these new fueltech s oh man the fine tuning you can do with them is insane
Badass car Billy. Can’t wait to see you out with it. I’d definitely go aluminum Big Block. It will cost more but you won’t have to run it near as hard as the small block. Good luck buddy.
Congratulations on the nova, i like the idea just wait and do the big block when you can. Makes more sense less work to get more power. Like you said you wont have to twist it up to make big power.
Go big block Billy. A 540 is a good starting point. An aluminum block, standard heads, cast intake low maintenance deal, with twins. It is not a huge difference in price and the power achieved from it will double your small block. Keep it simple. Don't need exotic stuff for what you are doing... you picked a nice car to do it in.
Big block with spray Big block with single Turbo that's more you Billy No matter what you choose you will be successful your a hell of a driver in your learning very well be safe and God-bless you guys
Man very excited to be a member of this UA-cam channel happy for you and pops and having the new Nova on board I know you guys will make it fast God bless
Dude I'm so excited for this! For the sake of bragging rights.. "keep it street legal". Street or strip, prep or no prep. You will be the one to do it.
🇺🇸My only advice is that you should build it with no regrets afterwards. If ur thinking Big Block then u already know in ur heart that that's the way u wanna go. All In or All Out!!!! NEVER LIFT🤙🇺🇸🙏
Its a hard game to get into when you go big block and big tire the bottom is endlass as far as that setup
Small block, small tire, super lightweight something that will go down any road at any time big block and big tire is a ridiculous class/style car to get into right now
Much love from the northeast
I would have to agree with this statement.
Love you buddy. Let’s get to work. 🇺🇸
Wheres the build videos?!!!!!😆😆 Im ready to see this thing come together!!!! #SRC💪💪💪💪💪
Merica!!
😆😁
Small block is the way to go parts are cheaper Billy
Big block sounds nice 😁. Little 540 with a big single or twins. Or even better. Procharged with zoomies 😂
700 shot
Something light 😂
Big block
A little razzle dazzle 😂
@@third_gen_world763 Lmaoo 😂🎯
My 2 cents, paint it 1970 Nova Autumn Gold with the black roof, aluminum big block, and a single Promod 102mm 👌

One of the fastest pass I ever seen on the streets was by the OG Murder Nova!
Get a hold of Texas speed. Once they see your story they might sponsor you for big block.
Lol they don't do anything with big blocks
TS 427 and some twin turbos, why change something when it's proven to work
yea they give cleetus one motor after another!

Is this the same barnhills that raced at drag way 42 and Norwalk
You gotta do a big block! No doubt! 🤘🏼
That would be awesome to see you guys do a few no prep kings events.
Hell yeah! The potential you have with this beast is unlimited! Can't wait to see the progress on it. Good job Billy!!
KISS...540 raised cam block AFR heads big single turbo Dominator blow through. 1st car I did the back half was a Nova, good choice!

so stoked to see you doing this stuff, been watching for a minute and you are just getting faster and faster. this thing is gonna be a monster.
There is no replacement for Displacement!
Except more!
Nice Billy go job on the Nova .... I'm hoping for a Big Block .............................................. Everyone go racing
Big Block brother, don't have to kill it to make big power. Good luck man, car is sick!
Big block with big single turbo! Thanks for not destroying the s10. Excited to see what the nova brings!
Sounds like you just bought your dream car! Nova looks badass! I say keep the sbc, heck y’all bust people with a sbc and heavy truck that shouldn’t be as fast as it is!
Nice car I had a 71 I bought out of North Carolina wish I still had it.
Billy you have the ability to do whatever but probably not a bad idea to take the next step to no prep kings and get on the big stage you earned it

That is awesome man. Super pumped for you. Can’t wait to see all the new content for the Nova.
This is my exact story but with a 70 chevelle and we used to cruise and race the streets in high school. Love the videos can't wait to see the nova
Billy put a 481 X in that Nova.If you can find one . Cause they are big$$ for a new one . Even used they're crazy money . Whatever you do good luck kid . We have faith in ya.
Big block is the way to go..! Price is right around the same price as a healthy small block.. And its way more reliable..
You should build an identical small block for the nova as the truck so if one is blown up or broke somehow you can swap between the two. Maybe even upgrade the little M to aluminum rods and what not so you can make a little more power safely and then build an identical one for the nova. Just an idea can't wait to see the progress you and your family are awesome people. God bless
I think a big block is perfect like a 540 ci with aluminum rods twin 88mm turbo would be a super sweet build
Nice car, that is a lot of bars. Looks great!
Aluminium BB for sure. Make a shirt that contributes to fund the engine and let people show they helped you.
The way you an ur dad built an ran that little s10, wow I can't wait 4, y'all 2, put a big an nasty big block in it. Congratulations on this car an build. Good luck, oh paint it battle ship grey
Just watched your dad's vid. Love y'all bro
You dance with the one that brought you!!! Lots of luck but we love that TRUCK
A big block gets my vote!!! Possibly a big bore, short stroke setup with some SR20 cylinder heads (minimum 4.600 bore required for those heads). That car is gonna be a beast once again either way. Good luck on the build guys!!! #SRCNation

Full build on both channels so exited man that’s been my dream car sense I was a little one exited to see you guys build it
Some advice i am sure your old man will agree with. Build what you want the 1st time even if it takes a little longer. If you want a big block then get one. We build race quads for my son.....and i build them once so i dont have to keep changing stuff
yommy u need 2 get ahold of Texas Speed and ask them what their prices are for a 427 complete motor 4 yall to buy n put n yalls NOVA

Then build it how you really want to Billy!even if it takes a little longer, promise that its worth it bud! Sure this car will be super fun to watch&follow! Fun watching it come together too kid! Your a great young man & a hell of a driver.so build the car to match!
100 percent big block. More durable more power to work with especially once you go big tire. One and done. And love the idea of the color combo as well. Good luck with the build.
Congrats on the new car and gold with a black top would look really good. I'm sure you can find a gently used aluminum big block for sale thats complete for way less then it would cost to build one new. Can't wait to see what you do with it
I would like to see a small block. I know making power is more of a challenge but a small block lineup would be nice. Like you dad says parts can interchange
THIS IS A VERY SMART & SAFE CHOICE BOYS! Glad to see you make the decision to keep the truck a streeter & make this a 2000hp BIG MONEY MAKER! 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
It's cool you got a car with some history. That's a badass Nova bud. Black and gold sounds sweet also no matter what you put in it
Love the car. Put what you already have in the car, enjoy it. Yes a big block would be nice, but then you need more converter, transmission, etc. Big cost to go a little faster. Stay SBC.
Old man you got one more in ya then tell the boys your on your own just like you did. You gave them the skills to run with it you should be damn proud they growed up. Roll into retirement. And help as needed to keep it going. You deserve it. Life's too short and you proved yourself a thousand times over. My two cents.
Go big block, no replacement for displacement! You boys will probably make more power than I could ever dream of. But I’m planning to build a 496 big block with an 8-71 roots blower to put in a third GEN Camaro.🤘😜
Go Big young man, you will be happy with all that extra HP. I look forward to the build. Good luck...
little Billy thats going to be nice !!! BUT never give up the ICONIC S10!! that your trade mark!!!
Glad to see you trying to step your game up If you guys need anything as far as Blockheads rods Pistons Got everything still in boxes all new stuff you need anything just let me know
I see few other’s keep saying Bbc It must be the way to go .I have to agree I it’s a big M block 50 lbs. less If you already tried a abc with 1200hp and going to a big block 2,000 hp ... with abc the Rpms turns up faster but if you make the big block turn up like abc it’s on I always done abc I’m at the same boat doing abc 406 but has a bbc also but it don’t have 2,000 hp but over you look like you have. A wonderful father who look like he will do what ever it takes to help you out I miss my dad been almost 21 years just remember your dad on Father’s Day
Big block for sure and that color scheme would look sick!!! 4 link is the best IMO!! Holley Dominator for ecu it’s awesome you’ll love it it’s very user friendly.
Been waiting Billy for this for over a year now this car will level the playing field with the other guys that u have been racing last year or so and color on the RC car wld look bad ass and u r a wheel man billy drive your ass off good luck on the rest of build
I personally would love to see you do NPK. Do you have to be invited to those events?
You guys would do great. Billy has the talent &, pops has the brains!! Lol
Nice find Billy, good luck on the big block build. Look forward to seeing it going down the road :)
Big block is the way to go 100% I help my buddy in with his car racing building etc and at 22lbs his last dyno session he hit 2112hp to the wheel although his is fuel injected alot easier to tune etc but what I don't understand is why alot of you guys doing these races arnt switching over the the new fuel techs I get haltech and shit is good but once of used these new fueltech s oh man the fine tuning you can do with them is insane
I suggest doing a true street class on Rocky Mountain Raceweek if ever possible in the future. Think yall would have a good time.
Badass car Billy. Can’t wait to see you out with it. I’d definitely go aluminum Big Block. It will cost more but you won’t have to run it near as hard as the small block. Good luck buddy.
Congratulations on the nova, i like the idea just wait and do the big block when you can. Makes more sense less work to get more power. Like you said you wont have to twist it up to make big power.
Go big block Billy. A 540 is a good starting point. An aluminum block, standard heads, cast intake low maintenance deal, with twins. It is not a huge difference in price and the power achieved from it will double your small block. Keep it simple. Don't need exotic stuff for what you are doing... you picked a nice car to do it in.
Maybe see this thing at some of the Carolina N/T small tire events? There is some heavy competition in them but ALWAYS a great event 🤙🏻
Cant wait!... new content...plus the s10 is gonna keep grinding!! Excited for you guys!!! Growing and grinding! Love it!!!
Big block with spray Big block with single Turbo that's more you Billy No matter what you choose you will be successful your a hell of a driver in your learning very well be safe and God-bless you guys
Bahama Blue would be gorgeous on that nova. Congrats can't wait to see it come together bud.
Big block with 2 big twins.. Gold body with a black top and yenko style decals. Black wheels. 💪👍
I always loved the early 70s Novas. Nice and light.
You can't go wrong going big block. Get your self a Dart Big M block and stroke it. You won't regret it. 632 cu. in. has a nice ring to it. :)
Big block with a big single turbskie and that car will be a beast. Can't wait to see what you guys do with this nova
Definitely a big block that's what I'm currently building 540 f3106 small tire
Man very excited to be a member of this UA-cam channel happy for you and pops and having the new Nova on board I know you guys will make it fast God bless
Lightweight, big turbos, can't wait to see what you do, been watching since day one, proud of ya man, tear that shit up!
Dude I'm so excited for this!
For the sake of bragging rights.. "keep it street legal". Street or strip, prep or no prep.
You will be the one to do it.
