Lou swapped in a custom built Dart 406 small block and a 5-speed Tremec transmission per his preference. He\u2019s also got Canfield heads, a Cola crank, and Jessel uppers for this build. This combo\u2019s been dyno\u2019d at 550+ horsepower to the wheels. This Nova also has exhaust cutouts, a line lock system, and is fully tubbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other custom touches Lou has put to this ’67 Nova include a smoothed firewall, air conditioning and power windows, and a custom leather interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
