My new wheels... Weld V-Series. Here's a shot of the Nova slammed as far to the ground as it can go and still be driveable. I'll probably raise the rear end an inch or two to give it a little rake, but not too much. No air bags for this bad boy. A little more work to the front suspension and it will be ready for paint.

Thanks for the compliments. The wheels are 15x3.5 on the front with Michelin radials and 15x14 on the back with Hoosier 31x18.5 "Pro Street" radials.

I upgraded the rear suspension with a Tin Soldier 4-link setup that has beefier tubes and wishbone track locator. It now has a new Moser M9 fabricated 9" rear housing with an aluminum center section, Moser WaveTrac carrier and 35 spline axles. The rear brakes are Wilwood 4-piston caliper.

The front suspension is a Mustang II style rack & pinion. I'm adding a trick custom billet sway bar setup and also removing the traditional Mustang II style coil spring hats and incorporating longer coil over shocks for better weight transfer. It has Wilwood 6-piston caliper disc brakes on the front with Heidts polished stainless tubular control arms.

What is the huge bump under the hood cover? I may have missed it earlier. I am sure nobody will mind reading it again. This not a streeter, is it?
I assume, from the size of the cover, that we are looking at a blown big block?

It's a blown 502. The car is pro street meaning it will be a street-legal car when it's done.

This is a Bill Mitchell "Hardcore" engine. I bought it 15 years ago at an estate sale and saved it just for this project.

Here are the engine specs...
  • GM Gen VI block
  • Forged rotating assembly
  • Forged blower pistons (8.2:1)
  • Polished Dart 360 heads with Jesel shaft rockers (awesome)
  • Custom grind Isky mechanical roller cam
  • Jesel belt drive
  • Polished BDS 8-71 supercharger
  • Twin Custom-built Quick Fuel boost-referenced 950 double pumpers
  • MSD ignition with forced induction timing retard
  • NOS 6-71/8-71 supercharger nitrous system with solenoid upgrade (set to 400 HP)


Here it is on the dyno... at 12 PSI boost it is over 1,000 HP.

In street mode running 93 octane pump gas with 8 PSI boost it had 950 HP @ 7,200 RPM.

I didn't dyno it with the nitrous but you can get a good idea of what it will do on top of the 1,000+ HP.

Race gas is required at 12 PSI boost and when using the nitrous.
