hi, i have a 1970 nova and i need help. i have no engine in it and want some ideas. i was thinking of throwing a 14-71 supercharger on top of a 454 in it but i dont know yet. its going to be a street strip type deal but the catch is i am going to drive it to school everyday. so if you got any ideas please reply thanks

I think thats going to be hard to do. But it depends how hot you want to make it. Why not have a regular car, then have your play car? So there is no down time when your play car breaks. I would save money and buy a car to drive to school. Just an idea..

For a daily driver I would go with a 350 CI engine , a overdrive automatic and
a relatively high gear in the rear end. With careful planning you could build a
combination that gets low 12 to high 11 second ET's at the track and still pull
off 20+ MPG with out breaking the bank still leaving spending money for school.
The combination you are talking about will leave you broke, it's no fun to have
a hot car and can't afford to fill it up with gas.

You'll be singin' a different tune as soon as you find out the cost of a 14-71.

Couple of other things come to mind. That's a huge blower for a street driver. That Nova needs to be caged and tied together. Motor needs to be built with the blower in mind (lots of expensive parts). Big undertaking...big bucks.

Good luck.

OK, let me put this another way. You'll be singing a different tune as soon as your DAD finds out the cost of a 14-71.
