well I missed out on that motor ,but I am going to do some research on this I really like the way my Chevelle came out and would like the same high tech setup in the Nova the car is a long way from needing the engine I just got it on the rotisserie I like the LT1 but Iwant to try something different with Big Block ,we are also considering LS1 with a 6 spd but I really want a big block but I want EFI and clean look of serpentine drive but if I go with aftermarket EFI and serpentine plus the rebuild of my 454 I took out of the Nova ,I will be real close to 7-8K and these vortec systems are OBD II while it seems complicated is an easy to diagnose problems,plus I like Coil on plug with the right cam and programming I think it can really be awsome ride
