Joe Sherman is a great guy and great engine builder. That Nova was major inspiration to me way back then.

Joe is still very active building engines in California, racing a Nova with his son.

There is a Joe Sherman that is a renouned engine builder who frequently enters the 'Engine Masters Challenge' and usually does very well.

That's the same guy. Same one that is over at Speed Talk, as "big joe".

Yes Joe is still very active with engine building. I've been friend with his son Steve since the mid-late 70s, who is running one of his dad's bullets in his early Nova, "The Shermanator".
