Stock push rods and 1.5 would be perfect with one of Summits lifter/cam kits (like their K1102) would be a good fit.

Wow! That's a beautiful Nova, John. I'm getting ready for paint on my '63. It's been a "long term" project sandwiched in between four kids, college, etc...

I went with Fat Man fabrications on the front end, McPherson struts, Cararra coils, Trans Am brakes and power rack&pinion. Engine (avatar) is Z28 and I have a Super T-10 going to a 3.08 read end.

Not near as far along as I'd like, but I'll put some pictures up soon.

Regards,
Glenn
