With so much focus on ls builds it's nice to see an old school engine build

[@rogerflick825]

Agree 💯

[@mikewillett5076]

Right on! And nice to see something odd for nowadays like a 327 instead of a 350, 383, 406.

[@highspeednoblesgarage3152]

This awesome. I’m working out the bugs on my 454 with a Muncie 4-speed in my 1970 Chevelle. Love watching the work you guys do!

[@Chevyssboy138]

Yup these small blocks with a 4 barrel come to life

[@ericheine2414]

Also old drive shafts sometimes aren't that straight. They gett pinched in vices when people are changing U-joints and they get abused just in general. Neutral drops, hole shots, and they can lose their balancing weights.

[@jamespepper2541]

I can't wait till my 327 small journal comes to life!!!!! 😎

[@duncanmacrae6384]

Sounds good, love the old school mixed with some new tech. 327's do rock. Keep up the great videos men

[@289dual4s]

Once it's dialed in, I can't wait to see the difference at the track.

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Love old school small block builds.

[@inkedinRl]

I love that car.. the 327 4speed is so nostalgic!

[@dodge-io7gd]

The only thig I do not like about your videos is that you do not make enough of them !!!! I what more ! I love what you guys do and look forward to your next video please don't wait 2 weeks to post it lol.

[@bradfordfox9536]

Great video guys, I love that sound when it revs up.

[@JaredR1996]

Finally this Nova is back on the road and banging through gears. Awesome job u guys 👏👏👏👏

[@jenkemjones68]

First time viewer here.I'm subbing for sure.Thank you so much for the great camera angles and doing your best to take us for a ride with you.That’s a stout little 327 and sounds amazing.

[@daviddahlgren8522]

Love the scream of the 327!👍👍

[@GhostRider-ii7tz]

I have always loved those novas.now you don’t see them anymore.👍

[@kcav5374]

Nice to see the Nova on a test ride. Worth waiting for & I'm sure it'll get down the rack much better!

[@stevekersey7695]

It's cool to watch you drive around the Orting , South Prairie area. I haven't seen your nova go by my place yet, but I'm sure I will.

[@WyoCutlass71]

Love this car so much! I think you guys should drive it down to the Duct tape drags in Tucson Arizona!

[@pmpartners]

Thanks for the video! This has been an entertaining series.

[@timothymilam732]

Drive 327's like you stole it, and stop watching the tach. You go by feeling in your back against the seat, but your right to go by the sounds if it's breaking up on the top side too. Nice job you youngsters are doing there giving the two they're new life, far better than letting Japan send them back as rebar, are cheap angle iron by a long shot!!

[@gordocarbo]

Agree, theres no need for a tach you can feel/hear when its time to shift Tachs are nothing more than novelties If you have a fast car theres no time to take your eyes off the road anyways

[@timothymilam732]

@@gordocarbo you hear it as well as just know how it feels around you. Never used clutch after leaving the light either, and muncie shifted so smoothly they thought it was automatic lol Oh for the old days when life was simple. May have not been as fast as they are today, but it was more fun I believe. Mainly because it was all motor that we built ourselves from whatever source we could find to build it from. Then trip to machine shop for the basics, then your combination parts supplier/ performance shop aa your money was available. Then the fun began, and not many used lwb C10's back then. But just memories now for old men. But you are absolutely correct about that, and you could tell who wasn't a driver and who's daddy bought the car. And never believe what you think you see, because those of us are the ones that will eat you up, and really hurt your feelings. Have a Great Day

[@notsure8041]

Major upgrade! And thank God you got rid of that 3speed. The 4speed shifts so much better with the better ratios

[@georgescott7556]

you guys freaken rock!! love watching the videos! the nova and stude are badass!! watching from missouri! keep them coming!! stay safe and have fun!!👍

[@jwpranzo]

Nice to hear that 327 sing!

[@BBBILLY86]

when dialed in 327s like 6,500 to 7,000!!! Great motors like 396's and 427's. Love to rev.

[@robertweitlauf4653]

only problem is the 11/32 rod bolts don't like that kind of rpm. factory hipo 327 red line at 5800. 6000 for very short time.

[@BBBILLY86]

@@robertweitlauf4653 ARP

[@robertweitlauf4653]

@@BBBILLY86bolts are not the only problem. 327 connecting rods are lighter then 350. believe me i know i raced 327 in the 70s if you dont rev them past 6000 your good anything above that and they break.

[@stanlane5322]

Glad to see it running great!!! I love my 72

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Those 4 speeds are a blast.

[@GoldSeals]

It sounds like it already has a gear in it like a 4:10.You put some slicks on it and its possible to get it in the 12's.

[@georgew.morrowiii118]

It’s really starting to come together now

[@dudebud72]

Glad I found this!

[@justincooper5189]

First time seeing this channel. What year nova? The side markers say '70-'72, but I'm not sure of exact details.

[@NotRodShop]

72 with 74 doors and 70-71 lights and markers.

[@fixins]

Cool project. Needs the Stuntman Mike hood ornament.

[@ArmouryMan]

I lost it as you were pulling out of the gas station talking about the exhaust, and you both look for what just fell off as the window roller abandoned its duties.

[@brucenaylor2043]

She sounds pretty good 👍🏼

[@williepotts2185]

Nice gear whine. Ahh the sound of a "Rock Crusher ". You lucky fucker..

[@1stzjtruck706]

This is a great build to watch. Just loose the Holley and throw on an edelbrock carb it’s a lot more fun to drive.

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Awesome boys, just awesome.

[@trikejunkie]

Love this build , I have a Nova under my truck and a 327 with auto-changing to a muncie M21 ,can you tell me what clutch you used?

[@NotRodShop]

I used a zoom 30006S. But if your trans is 10 spline input that won't work because its a 26 spline disc.

[@trikejunkie]

@@NotRodShop Cheers

[@MrYz250fman]

Cool video. Im also sick of seeing all the LS stuff. Ive never got the bad ass nostalgia feeling out of an LS like i do out of an old big block or small block.

[@atsidis]

Great progress

[@nailbanger777]

Awesome video boys!

[@elarr8733]

Loved this one.

[@nealelliott]

ugh, I still haven't figured out how to keep the window handles connected even with the cheap ass clips locked. the handles always come off from time to time.

[@kmc468]

It sounded good takes time to get the bugs liking it though very much

[@Chevyssboy138]

My chevelle does that when it’s low on gas that’s my gas gauge NGL I have enough to make it home when it starts to cut out if now the gas then it’s the fuel filter 95% of the time until you get a new tank or clean your gas tank 😅

[@davidhill5621]

Muncie M-20 heard the drop in 4th gear

[@kylelee4682]

What did your 327 come out of?

[@NotRodShop]

67 Chevy pickup originally

[@dannystubblefield5478]

Much better after the carb work

[@ddrustrods597]

Need some more videos I’m building a nova and love watching you vids but there’s not much up and long videos are way better then the short vids js but keep up the good work

@@eastbayd5376 no

[@nedaCFilms]

Not much cooler than a 327 powered Nova with a 4-speed.

[@RajeethReddy-xc4es]

Would take a 327 over a 396 or 454 anytime

[@mariocruz8436]

I have a set of interior panels for you nova

[@davedegan12]

Sweet :)

👍

[@dannystubblefield5478]

Sounds like you need a lower gear
