well i pick er up on friday so here he it is! its a 63 194/6 3 speed i finally got my stick in a nova , sold my truck and my vega to get it, so it wasnt all easy but oh well. im using it to move to so-cal.

Nice !

Sweet!!!

Seriously, that's a beautiful piece of 'chinery.

and i plan on keeping it a 6 ! haha. i have a hot rod now i need a road car. and i dont see why i cant squeak 20-25 out of her down the freeway. on good thing 195-14's are alot cheaper then 29x18.50-15's

Looks great! I read an article a while back where a guy used a TBI fuel injection off of a Jeep straight six on a 68 Nova straight six and was pulling down 28MPG with a 5 speed stick.

that would be awesome, they actually sellt he adapters to take holley style TBI'S off blazers and stick on there. i figure that with it having 336 gears with 13 inch wheels and tires <stock> and now considering it has 14's it should do pretty good down the hghway at least tis a 3 speed haha. i would like to put a t-5 in it someday though.

Oh man....your making me miss my 63 SS. Well...she was literally a pile but couldve been nice. I gave it aways years ago. Literally.

Nice car!!!

I'm sold on those TBIs for an everyday driver. We put one on my son's 69 Chevy truck with a 350 and 700r4 and he consistantly pulls down 20MPG on the highway with no cold weather starting issues. I just pulled the whole wiring harnes, front to back, along with the TBI, and computer off of a 88 GMC van, cut off the stuff we didnt use, and dropped it in right along with the fuel tank and guage cluster. He used an Edelbrock intake and an adapter plate for the TBI. Worked out great for a total investment of less than $100 bux.

now i just have to budget myself to hop it up. most i will do is headers and a 4bbl and some chrome trinkets. the offy valve cover sure is looking tempting haha

. Good score.
