A little back story on these 2....The Nova I've had since I was a teenager. That picture is VERY old. It says 2016. I threw that car together in a couple months, new engine, trans, TCI subframe...etc. Drove it to Texas and raced around all weekend. Trans had issues, no overdrive, other than that made it down and back zero problems. It now has a 5.3/4L80. It made 315 HP on the dyno. Very fun car. Looks like a pile of junk but I love it and beat the crap out of it. It routinely gets ran out to 7500+ rpm. It loves it.
The burb I've had for 3 years. Ive had to put about 5k into it so far on little things. AC was gone through and converted to a sanden unit, winch, brakes, etc. It has been my family hauler. I want to replace the engine in it soon, but I am also considering trying gears first, and maybe just having the TBI computer flashed with some small exhaust upgrades. The burb is a part of the family. I've kicked around the idea of selling it, but just can't bring myself to do it.
