A friend is mine has inherited a 74 Chevy Nova two door from his aunt...we know it's a automatic but we have'nt popped the hood yet...what is the base engine for that?...what size wheels and tires are on there...is it RWD?...what type of brakes are on there?...Can we put a 4 barrel carberator in that badboy?...Can we stick a 454 or 502 V-8 in there without replacing the hood or taking a blow torch to her?..What type of suspension is she running?..how much does she weigh? how fast can she go? Is this the same chassis that was used for the 78 Monte Carlo? Should we make her a lowrider sitting on 13's or 14's? Use hydrualics or Air ride? Has anyone ever seen a 74 Nova lowrider?
Would it be better to just upgrade the suspension and build a muscle car out of her...dual exhaust and the works sitting on 16 Cragar-ish rims and Goodyear rubber?...Please list any info on this model, good and bad..we need to weigh the pros and cons!

All i can tell you is that its prolly a 350...yes you can put a 4 barrel in there with some mods to the manifold...like a new one..yes RWD, drum brakes all around and no better than disk up front and drums rear....it has a turbo 350 trans and it can bolt onto the 454 but you wont get the power to the ground....struts and springs....best bet is puttin an new LS1 into it or if you insist on a "big block" you have the 396 the 427 the 454 to chose from...but for those motors you need a 700r trans to get the power to the ground...good luck!

You're kidding right?
You don't even know if it is rwd or fwd and you want to know if you can fit a 502 Big Block in it?
Well if ya drop in a 502 it will be a lowrider. LOL
That will look sweet with the 13" rims and flux capacitor out back.

probably has a 350 engine.
15 inch wheels and tires.
disc brakes
defiantely RWD
you can put in a 454 if it will fit but it would be wise to leave it as original as possible, that keeps the value up.

No it does not use the same chassis as A Monte. It uses the Camaro front and rear sub frames which if your serious about a big block ( can use factory parts) will need frame connectors. No lowriders please.

Its no longer a foul lobe , rocker , or bearing , that does no longer make you lose stress . If the stress is going between cylinders , it would no longer be effervescent into the radiator .The stress is the two going previous the valves , rings , or gasket . the pinnacle is going to might desire to return off no rely what the subject is . you could pull the pinnacle and look for something glaring ( burnt valve , loose piston / thick ridge ) it would be difficult to perceive a blown gasket once you pull the pinnacle yet you could look . in case you think of thats the subject once you tear it down , you could exchange it , your oil , and antifreeeze for in basic terms $80.
