Default Re: '70 Nova V/SA to F/SA Makeover

Well, it's been a while since I've posted on this thread. The car has seen a few changes over the past few months, and I was forced to learn some things. The most obvious change to the car is that the car once again sounds like it has a 230-inch 6 cylinder in it, but that is just due to the bundle of snakes that found their way onto the car earlier last month (see pictures below). While I was assisting with the headers, I noticed the bellhousing on my th200 was cracked yet again. This time I figured out why it re-cracked the bellhousing and remedied the issue. Due to time constraints, and the fact that I conveniently purchased a core for $75 a few weeks prior, I taught myself (with some over the phone guidance) on how to re-case a th200. So far so good with my DIY transmission, and as far as the headers go, they aren't too shabby either. I've also been driving myself crazy with ride height changes, which I'm hoping to put an end to by installing some 180lb/in landrum front springs in the next day or so. I had a fun trip with Billy out in Norwalk last week, where the "crew cab" nova made an appearance. Next stop, Lebanon Valley next weekend.
