Nice ride, sounds like it's a real head snapper and the body look glass smooth.

 

[skippy1969]

Nice Nova!

 

[Reli]

Nice! Just curious though, how can a dyno measure hp at the crank? I thought it could only measure at the wheels

they make engine dyno's that you can test the engine out side of the car .

 

[ClaretBadger]

you can work out the transmission loss

But the real world figure is at the wheel

 

[Old skewl]

Floyd's got it. Engine builders tend to use engine dynos. The other type is called a chassis dyno. Normally you lose about 20 -25% power through the drivetrain.

Thanks for the compliments guys! Hate to let her go, but it is time for something a little more practical

That is a sick Nova. I love that body style.

676hp is no joke....and matched to a 4 speed

I had a 1959 Impala with a 409, six pack and 4 speed. Wild ride!

Thanks again for the compliments! I hate to sell the Nova, but I don't seem to have the time to enjoy it and keep it up anymore. Gonna pick something up a little more practical :'-(

When I bought the car, I went looking for another 69 Camaro. I had one earlier that I sold to buy an engagement ring. The Camaro was sold. Then I found this Nova. It was too wild to pass up!

I'm a classic Chevy Muscle Car lover myself. I fully restored my 69 Camaro to $42K The Dang car cost $2,800 new in 1969 I love your Nova. That Smal Block is no joke, You got the right Tranny, and 12 bolt rear with proper gears too I spotted tons of others nice setups on it too. Headers are nice. You running dual chambered Flowmasters? Or?
