Mike, The motor would run 5.30s in the right car but this thing at 2900 lbs or more probably isn't it. I'll probably just throttle stop it and run 6.0 and hopefully 5.49 at SS but I probably will bracket race it while I figure out how much fun it is running brackets in a door car at high speed. I really didn't want a motor this big but the costs would have been close to the same just to do a 498 which made little sense. My origional plan was build a bigger motor for this Nova so it could run 6.0 in the heat then take the stock block 468 and put it on NOS and put it in the stock suspension Nova for T/S. When the rules changed I couldn't see doing that anymore and I already had the 565 started and it was too big for T/S so I was just stuck. So I decided to 4 link this car and see what happens......LOL. Plans? What plans? We don't need to stinking plans.......LOL. JM
