The Chevrolet Nova may not have been very appreciated during its time on the market, but it certainly enjoys a second life, and a successful one at that,.
For the 1966 model year, the Chevy Nova received an extensive restyling and the L79 small-block V8 with 5.4 liters on deck and a 585-cfm carburetor for good measure. Forged internals, a high-lift camshaft, aluminum intake manifold, high-flow cylinders, and an 11:1 compression ratio also need to be highlighted, along with 350 horsepower and 360 pound-feet (490 Nm) of torque.
