Nova is back and new HED engine is here!

[@BlueCollarBachelor]

That Nova is going to be real good at doing stuff.

[@davidwulf288]

Hell Ya. Grow up in Donahue. Also had a 74 Nova in high school and a 86 IROC. Can't wait to see more

[@mvpgarage2944]

I love the intro, I saved the first installment of the Comeback from a few months ago. As a body/paint guy I cant wait to see the process and to see it finished. Shout out to all my fellow 2 car attached garage guys cranking these things out!

[@davidharter7151]

Wow what a daunting task trying to gather everything and get it sorted out. I bet your pumped. Just looks overwhelming sheeww.

[@kylexxneedham]

I was there when you wrecked it, glad to see it going back together better than ever

[@b_for_brett]

That “exploded” view of the old engine is insane 😳

[@deegan727]

Glad to see the Nova getting close, can’t to see it rip.

[@FreddyFunderbunz]

I’ve got that same forklift, been running it with a blown head gasket for 4 years. Just won’t die

[@vehdynam]

Interesting facts on the engine. Love the Nova..

[@geoffkemp7]

Watching that gorgeous car hit the wall hurts everytime. So glad to see it back!

[@604cuinkillah]

Aside from the crash, that's definitely a top 10 intro ever on KZbin. Bravo

[@allenbrixey1122]

I'm in awe with the build back. The attention to detail is amazing. Keep up the great work.👍

[@veto8792]

Can’t wait to see the Nova back on the track! Don’t see too many LT engines at the drag strip.

[@ChasingPerfection]

2 car garage talk is a little extra motivation. Currently I'm finishing up bodywork on a 68 Camaro convertible and then I'll paint it. Also have a 66 Mustang I'm restoring the chassis/drivetrain on. All in my 600sq ft 2 car garage. I'm a 16yr professional painter/bodyguy/metalworker and quit my job last July to be a stay at home dad and side hustler.

[@gerrymilidantri6457]

I'm so glad to see the Nova is back. This car is so beautifully built and detailed. I was sick when I saw the crash. Congratulations on the rebuild . I didn't think it would be possible but you Nova is going to be even more awesome!

[@noahreed8872]

So right to see the Nova again.

[@Dirtydeesdigital]

I really appreciate this video doug! My third gen was totaled in 21 due to a guy going on a yellow light. I had owned it since 17 and built it through covid. The day it was totaled i had 600 miles on it since complete rebuild including ls swap. Since then i bought another and am trying to build what my goal was from the beginning. It is hard to COMEBACK from these things. Thanks for the motivation!

[@robertmckee5248]

[@dandorris8531]

Man that jet stream blue is the cats meow. Especially on that c6 z or the ZR1. Glad to see that nova getting close to being done.

[@donaldengleson1742]

I've been waiting for thi! So glad it's finally coming together, and I bet y'all are too!!! But have fun doing it! Can't wait

[@jasonhovey815]

Definitely gunna be a hot rod. You’ve done an amazing job Doug can’t wait to see it make its first rip

[@matth6484]

For a drag and drive car and doing a dual fuel system would it be useful to keep the direct injection system for the low hp fuel system. Then keeping the intake cleaner for the other system. Great build coming along too!

[@Sharkey_t]

id think it would add another level of complexity thats really not needed. you still need a "low pressure" fuel pump and regulator (still 60psi) to feed the high pressure pump to feed the injectors. add in the tuning complexity, on top of only one or 2 ecm options available to run them. if you have a failure of any of the components on the road its going to be harder to track down the uncommon stuff. direct injection has its benefits, but not at this level.

[@riverguy988]

Pete is real good at doing stuff

[@amyzzz8910]

This turned out gorgeous!

[@subiedoo5433]

Man I can’t wait for this thing to show out

[@louisgarguilojr2592]

That Copo is sick AF. I can't wait. Shew Buddy!!

[@dudeharbaugh5733]

Let’s Go! Saw that car at Cleetus and cars HOUSTON SWEET RIDE

[@minibikemadman]

L8T ftw!!! a bad ass stocker. Gonna dig around the yards for one.

[@chrisgoodnow4272]

I have been seriously looking to do the same-ish engine build. The L8T is an awesome platform and looking forward to see what things you guys make for it.

[@woofersd2383]

Ol’ Nova gonna look awesome.

[@jasonveto2320]

We love you Dougy! Whoever picked the intro music is killing it

[@harleykdognova4226]

One of my favorite cars and glad it’s coming back 🙌🤘🙌🤘

[@captlucky2320]

Take your time with that car make sure it's as perfect as possible it's pretty much a billboard for your business.

[@huotmj9417]

Nice to see the Nova coming back. It’s a beautiful build. If that motor combo doesn’t work out have you thought about doing Steve’s SML??

[@zoeysimpson4432]

The intro was sad but I'm so happy to see it back 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

Motion should make some trick intake-port block off plates for LT’s. Or at least put some tape over the ports.

[@jackstoepfer1494]

I’m guessing all venting is through the valve covers because the valley cover is solid. Interesting.

[@ghostgangshifty7908]

Carbon fiber doors and front clip for racing steel for the drag and drive sir

[@danmyers9372]

Man I have missed this gorgeous Nova Doug! Did I hear you say the LT heads are only 4 bolt? Will those hold head gaskets at the boost/power levels you are going to be running?

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

They are only 4 bolt but they’re 12mm studs (1/2” ish), they just don’t have head gasket sealing issues

[@danmyers9372]

Thanks for the reply Doug! When I heard 4 bolt heads I thought of the stock LS which we all know has major head gasket issues at high (2000+) HP levels. I have no experience with the LT’s.

[@weeman6539]

@@MotionRaceworksOfficial are you guys going to have that valley cover plate? Didn’t see that on website for Lt

[@jonhightower3505]

Sweet, and I'm totally onboard with the color, not that it matters...lol.

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

That car is AMAZING

[@tomeickhorst6787]

Change all the hardware bolts nuts and such to titanium and you be amazed at the weight savings if you are really trying to save ounces

[@MrRandy3504]

Nice. I love that car i wish i could make my nova half as nice as yours. Im excited for you Doug.

[@mikerichmond3616]

Go get’em Dougie! 💪

[@brandonphillips6536]

I'll purchase the old intercooler!

[@stanleymartin1613]

Cool video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

[@robinwendt5527]

Them intake ports are massive 👌

[@K-Effect]

It’s clutch to have a good body and paint man

[@shanewright6958]

Looking good guys 👍👍

[@SweetMooch]

It amazes me that glued together carbon driveshafts actually holds thousands of horsepower. That epoxy they use must be some radical shit.

[@lgun1]

Who makes that water pump? That looks like a nice piece.

[@AdamHolder007]

Looking good 👍

[@jacobwebb768]

Oh baby. I’ve been waiting for this!

[@wesscollette]

Another great video!

[@The_Painter31]

Fragola makes a good product and before them I was using the stuff Keith Black Racing had around.

[@AlteredT]

What brand is that hose and fittings you’re using?

[@jeremiah5928]

Could you not do a two pice valve cover to allow easier access for lashing the valves do like 5 or 6 bolts for the top part & machine a groove to allow a o ring type gasket I think it would be a top seller exp if y'all made a set for all the popular engines

[@lsu614]

Bad ass video edit!!!

[@young11984]

Yes Doug, i finger every head port i see without an intake too😂

[@AdhdJimmy]

About time baby let's go!

[@lanegeisewite1436]

She's a fuckin beast!!! Chevy for life!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💪💪💪

[@shawnwieser7101]

I would love to see what the underside of the nova looks like on a lift

[@stevenmorrell5747]

How’s the yellow blazer comming along?

[@ericvolker6004]

Why don’t more people use a single air shock in back to lift the car for tire changes? Seems like it would be an easy addition. Just a thought

[@christopherbarrett8710]

You love to see it come back to life even better than it was.

[@waynepraetz]

Your Promod is coming along nice Doug 🤙

[@jnic69]

“The name of the game when you’re building a car is put it together, take it apart.” Man that hit close to home, my 4th Gen fbody is wearing me out. I wish I didn’t love these things so much, because they are a pain to put together and take apart.

[@Rebar77_real]

Put it together, take it apart, put it together, say "Aw sh*t", take it back apart, apply Loctite, put it back together... xD

[@CraaaigV302]

Hell yea lets fuckin goooo BB!!

I was sad when the Nova went sideways, the Nova will be better from all the things you MOKIDS have learned. Keep going, we'll be watching.

[@Jonny_trans]

ball valves got em

[@deegan727]

So I shouldn’t use that light weight hose on my 6000 lb. turbo LS 4x4 K5 Blazer?😂

[@infidel24]

I never realised that you guys were based out of Iowa. I always just assumed you were down in Florida. I guess I made an ass out of myself at least for assuming.

[@CamaroThings]

The intro triggered PTSD of the accident... so glad the safety equipment did their job and The Nova is back.

[@jkfonyi]

PTSD from an accident you were not in ?

[@jameslambert5394]

Let us not b girls !about every weekend

[@CamaroThings]

@@jkfonyi trauma doesn't have to happen to you for it to be traumatic... but good job explaining your side of things...

[@jkfonyi]

@@CamaroThings I just asked a question . I’m not a therapist so I wouldn’t try to explain it . I just find it hard to believe you have ptsd over a accident you saw on you tube that wasn’t that bad . What happens when you see a fender bender on way to work ? Maybe you should start seeing a therapist to resolve the trauma you felt .

You really need good 🎤 Doug!
