47 yr old hot rodder ,started as an import tech for VW in 77,work on the german cars since then ,restored 2 old mercedes SL convertables and last winter restored a 67 Chevelle SS with a 383 LT1 and 4l60 ,daily driver ,well the wife had this 69 nova in the garage for about 20 yrs ,originally a 396 4spd SS ,somewhere along the line her EX put a 454 with a powerglide. Well I just started on it the motor is out ,thinkin about strokin it and putting a 4 spd back in it ,the trunk area is pretty hacked up ,I think her ex knew enough to be dangerous so I will be stripping her down and possible mini tub with a 4link and ford 9 in(I dont like unibody or leaf springs and blew my share of 10 bolts apart)
