Nice Nova Perrin ; I helped a neighbor build a "64 Nova drag car when I was a teenager . Factory SS with the 283 (we stuffed a 454 in her) . I also have a "63 Impala up in Alaska. Black on black from the factory . Planning upgrades here too ...Gotta have a classic

Thanks, OGH. I like the idea of putting a big block back in it. It had one years ago, what's in it now is just so it can be driven around. The car is mini-tubbed with a fuel cell in the trunk and powerglide transmission. It's supposed to be a mild drag car. No roll cage though.

As I remember all we had to do was use the motor mounts from the 454 (from "71 Caprice station wagon) and turn them around and the motor dropped right in the Nova. I think we used a 400 turbo tranny . I now regret modifying a true SS model , but it turned out pretty nice . And fast .

Jesus, there's so much room in that engine bay.

From what I've read, Miatas respond extremely well to forced induction.

Would you go used or new? I was thinking a subaru turbo might fit on it?

Good news, for me anyway. On Friday I went to my local bike shop to have a look around while the wife was in work, the boy was in nursary and I had the day off...... Saw a bike I fell in love with. Pick it up tomorrow. Pics to follow. Nice R1 upgrade

Still playing around with my 02 Mazda Miata SE. Lots of fun and so easy to modify .
The lil 4-cylinder DOHC/16-valve motor is essentially a large motorcycle motor and it responds like one .
I add a K&N cold air induction and a stainless Borla muffler last week . Sounds/feels so much better . Thinking turbocharger maybe for this one ....View attachment 35468

Borla makes all the difference
