From what I understand, When the Nova first came out with the inline six, Chevy had instructions available how to swap in a chevy v8 in there. I just don't understand why they bothered with the inline 6 at all. If they wanted fuel economy, they could have just dropped in a 283 in there instead.

It looked better with the steel wheels. Wider in the back than in front with dog dish hub caps spells sleeper. Just my opinion.

Two big down sides of the early Nova's, small engine bay and no room for a wide or taller tire. You can add all the HP you like but if it wont hook it's going to be slow.

It's a sleeper? If I would see this car one the street I would assume it has a gob of HP and most likely running NOS.
