Watsup fellas.
Hows it going my name is Antonio and i have a couple dilemmas
I love my chevys
quick overview
i got a 71 nova with an original 250 in it. It started knocking a while back so i have it sitting there for the meantime. Debating on taking it apart and fixing it but, It literally hurts me to look at it as i looooove the car to begin with but anyway . . Figured changing engines might be best. Being that my 305 and 350 are both rebuilt. The transmission in there now is a 2 speed or 3 speed i wana say 2 but im at work.
i got a 95 caprice i put my heart into it its a interceptor edition i did everything to that car and got in a accident where it was totaled. Fortunately for me the car still starts but i was hit into a pole so my car is totaled but my engine and trans are in tact (thankfully) LT1 with 460LE the tranny came remanufactured out of the box.
so then i had to buy a quick a to b. I bought a 86 caprice for the meantime it has a 305 with a 700r that engine has a carb.
Engine rebuilt and tranny rebuilt as well.
I just cleared up my debt from the accident and now am in the process of saving for engine swap.
I figured the 305 would be easier being that its carbureted already and lt1 is fuel injected. And of course the LT1 i have has a lot of electrical components which is why i was thinking the 305 would b easier.
Being that i would be swapping the 250 for a 305 or 350 i figured i would need to do frame work and get new mounts.
to be honest i really dont know where to start. In a perfect world i would love to put that LT1 in the nova but the only thing holding me back is the electrical part of it. . Which is why i was leaning towards 305
Basically looking for suggestions and a little bit of help. We all love our chevys and i would love to get my nova on the road. I still have the totaled bubble (95) so i literally look at both of em and start getting depressed. haha not funny but ya know. . I am going to start taking the bubble apart this weekend as i have literally not even wanted to take the cover off for a year. I hate looking at the dent the pole left.
But yeah as you can see i have everything i need car wise, now that i can actually save money now my babys time is coming. . . .
Thanks for everything
