I dont own a hotrod not yet. although my father would like to own a T-bucket some day.

I own a 1988 Camaro SC that I custom built for myself using anything from1982-1998 in parts. Its nothing special its not like owning a 32 T-bucket, where everyone Ooh's and Aaaw's as you drive by.
I also have a 1974 Nova 350 Custom thats in pretty good condition but neeeds some TLC and a more aggressive engine. I plan on dropping my '69 327ci SS Impala engine in that soon and tease the LS1 Camaro guys. I dont own any imports AKA fart-tips, if i did it would be at the bottom of Lake Pleasant.

EDIT:

I decided to go ahead with the next engine swap in my camaro. i was gonna go ahead and put the 327 in the Nova, but i figured heck i'll rebuilt the 350 that way i can do what i really want to do to it. and i can still keep the 350 badges on it. probably in about 7-10 months i will yank the 305tbi and the T-5 completely out all of the wires and everything and sell the whole setup as one. turn around like i planned on doing 3 years ago, (somebody said that engine wont pass emissions, well i gained more knowledge about what is done and now i say thats :BS: , I know a guy who has 406 in a 3rdgen F-body and no Cat and he still passes the sniffer.) anyway the only thing at the moment im unsure about is what tranny would work behind the engine? I was looking at the P/G Manuel transbrake for like $960. I have a TH350 not to sure i like that I think i want OD. the 700R4 is the next option but also expensive, and the 4L60-65-80E TRANS ARE TOO MUCH. WAY TOO MUCH FABRICATION

well i plan on sticking around. although i can not really give my two cents on pretty much everything that goes on on this board and club, cause i use an out dated atari gaming console for a computer for an Thottle body injection system. although from the looks of it you fellas seem to be much more friendly then most of the other boards go to. no flame wars with each other.

well basically i was trying to say its as fast as an atari system was. it takes the computer a few days to realize the o2 sensor isnt there or working, or that the Automatic tranmission is missing well short an simple the harness is for an AT and i have a Std. oh and the computer doesnt know when the is in motion either heres one of the most recent pics, it isnt much i have just a short block assem.

Welcome to CHR. Have fun with the Camaro and enjoy your visits here.

Well finally you talk about something good streets, NOVA's. Any more info you can share about them? Or any good sites i might wanna look up that you know of???

Welcome to the new guy!!! I'm a pretty new guy myself because I haven't been on very much. I seem to be too busy trying to stay avove the bills. Just so you all know a bit about me..I'm 51 so I've gotten to play MUSCLECAR in real time!!! I still have the '57 150 2dr wagon I bought in 1969...the kicker...I've never driven it!!!! I'm a '57 and Nova guy from back then. I street drove and drag raced a '69 350 Nova SS called "Nova II Late" when I was in the "Southern Nevada Timing Assn." (this is the car club Ken Black, who owns the Vegas General Pro Stock NHRA champ car, was in). The sad thing about this car...it was a Berger Chevrolet car!!! I got it to 13:25 once! Would be worth a fortune now, dang it, this is why I never throw anything away now. I also had a '63 Nova SS convertible, and a '56 4dr when I was in the last draft. They all were sold but for the '57, sniff, sniff. I presently have a '69 stepside that I've had since '76. I'm the second owner. The first was Area 51 where it was a security truck!!! If it could speak... I drive it daily and it shows, I need to restore it. We also have a '50 stepside for which I've just gotten a heavy-half '68 frame. This is Patricia's truck. We also have a '63 Nova SS that we're going to sell along with a '64 SS parts car and many parts. The sleeper here is that I have, what I understand to be, a very rare car. It is a '68 Nova SS. It has a 350, Muncie 4spd, posi, console gauges w/ tach. The only thing it would've needed to be "loaded" would've been discs. It did have stock SS caps on 14' wheels. I've never seen these caps and I'm a Nova guy, so... It is a Cal. car so it even has smog! It is now in need of restoration as well. I'm a salesperson now at Everett Chevrolet in Everett, Wa. I live in Arlington, Wa. I'm also watching the "Garage" thread as well because I'd like to do mine up someday. Hope I didn't write too much but oddly enough I had some time today. Have a great Holiday season all of you and please think always of our service people!
