SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL ULTIMATE MAGAZINE PROJECT BLOWN PRO STREET/RACE NOVA

 

Here it is, perhaps the most involved and surely one of the most popular major magazine project cars ever created.  This was Super Chevy Magazine’s Saturday Night Special Nova.  Featured prominently in multiple issues of the magazine and the center feature of a special book on Novas, published by the editors of Super Chevy. This 1963 Nova SS has never been run and all the parts are as new.  It started life as a showcase for Chris Alston’s Chassisworks’ then-new bolt-on front clip, installed in his shop in Sacramento and evolved over the course of its build into a full tube chassis car with the very best that the industry had to offer.  Its chassis cradles a blown 421-inch small-block Chevy built by Klein Racing Engines. (Made over 800 horsepower with very minimal boost, on pump gas!)  It has all the top-of-the-line parts starting with a Bow-tie block and Dart Raised Runner heads and topped off by a fully polished BDS 8-71 supercharger with a pair of Vrbancic Brothers/Carb Shop blueprinted Holley 850cfm blower carbs. There's all the top internals, forged stroker crank, H-beam rods, forged blower pistons, coupled with a cam belt drive, Billet Fabrication oil pan, Titan billet oil pump, MSD 7AL ignition, custom headers, evacupan air pump system, prelber, etc.  Backing up the powerplant is a dual-disc, fully adjustable Titan billet clutch; the same type used in Alcohol racecars.  It is a state-of-the art piece and is housed in a fully approved Lakewood scattershield and connects to a legendary, never used 5-speed Lenco planetary transmission!  Out back is a Chassisworks custom Fab 9 narrowed rearend fitted with Strange Engineering axles and aluminum center section. The rear suspension is all business with Koni aluminum coilover shocks, stainless four-link with sway bar and wishbone track locator.  There’s even a set of chromed wheelie bars! The front end is all Chassisworks (polished stainless steel upper and lower A-arms, aluminum rack, coilovers, forged spindles). Wilwood discs on all four corners and fully polished Weld Wheels billet five-star racing wheels get it rolling on massive Mickey Thompson rubber.  There is so much more to this car that it would take a week to outline. This well-documented Nova deserves to be completed -- then DRIVEN.  Everything is included, from a full compliment of carbon fiber AutoMeter gauges to custom-made Percy speed glass.  All aluminum work is complete: interior, trunk, engine compartment! For more detailed description of the building of this project, do a Google search and you’ll find all you need to know.  But please feel free to contact me via ebay mail (or reach out to me direct at 9O9215O757, anytime) if you have any questions and want added images.  The car has been kept in a climate-controlled environment and is ready for a new home.  This would be the ultimate street racer, bracket car or a perfect investment to finish and sell overseas where foreign car enthusiasts are gobbling up American iron for big bucks!  Title is clear and in my name.  No issues!  I will do all I can to help arrange shipping to anywhere in the world at the buyer’s complete expense. This is the real deal and without question would cost a tremendous amount of cash to duplicate -- without the history of course!

IIHS gives good ratings to 4 of 8 midsize pickups in crash test

Wed, Sep 6 2017

Versions of the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon Crew Cab earned top ratings in a new crash test of midsize pickup trucks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, while two versions of the Nissan Frontier earned marginal ratings. But the organization gave poor marks to all eight pickups tested for their dim headlights. Overall, four of the eight pickups evaluated earned good ratings for protecting occupants in all five crash test categories — the Tacoma double cab along with crew cab versions of the Colorado, Canyon and Tacoma. But the poor headlights and lack of an automatic emergency braking system blocked any of the pickups from qualifying for the IIHS's Top Safety Pick awards. The study looked at two pickup body styles using 2017 models: crew cabs, which have four full doors and two full rows of seating, and extended cabs, which have two full front doors, two smaller rear doors and compact second-row seats. It subjected each to five tests, and it evaluated the performance of front crash prevention systems and headlights. The Toyota Tacoma crew cab was the only pickup in that class that earned a good rating for structure in the small overlap test, which replicates what happens when a vehicle clips a tree, pole or another vehicle that has crossed the center line. The model's Access Cab extended-cab version was rated similarly, though its structure was rated acceptable. "This group of small pickups performed better in the small overlap front test than many of their larger pickup cousins," says David Zuby, the Institute's executive vice president and chief research officer. "The exception was the Nissan Frontier, which hasn't had a structural redesign since the 2005 model year." The extended-cab versions of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon earned acceptable ratings, while both the Nissan Frontier king-cab and crew-cab models were rated marginal. Toyota says its 2018 Tacoma will feature upgraded headlights and a standard autobraking system that can detect pedestrians. "Headlights are basic but vital safety equipment. Drivers shouldn't have to give up the ability to see the road at night when they choose a small pickup," Zuby said.

Texas cops pull armed suspect from burning car

Fri, Jul 29 2016

A high-speed chase through Fort Worth, Texas ended in dramatic fashion earlier this month when FWPD pulled armed burglary suspects from the burning wreckage of their escape vehicle. According to NBC DFW, Fort Worth police were dispatched to Avington Way on the evening of July 16 to investigate reports of a burglary. The burglary victim told police he had arrived home to find three individuals hauling his property out of his house. When he approached them, one of the suspects pointed a handgun at him and told him to stay back. Then all three suspects climbed into a silver Dodge Avenger and sped away. FWPD officers spotted the Avenger a short time later on Sycamore School Road and, after the car refused to pull over, the chase was on. Police chased the burglary suspects through the city at speeds approaching 100 mph until the Avenger blew a red light and was t-boned by an oncoming pickup at the intersection of California Parkway and James Avenue. As the pursuing officers closed in on the disabled car, it suddenly caught fire. One suspect bailed out and ran for it, but the remaining two were trapped inside with the flames quickly mounting. Despite the spreading fire and the threat of armed suspects in the vehicle, police officers rushed to pull the men from the wreck. The driver was removed easily, but the passenger was unconscious and trapped behind a crushed passenger door. The scene was caught on the officers' body cameras as they pried the door open with their bare hands. Eventually the officers got the semi-conscious man out of the passenger seat just as the car was completely engulfed in flames. "It was pretty dramatic. We recruit people that can think on the fly, think quickly, and perform under pressure," FWPD Sergeant Marc Povero told WFAA. All three suspects are facing charges for burglary, and the driver was charged with evading arrest.

Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new

Thu, Sep 29 2016

To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.
