I built a stroker and found a 70 Nova to stick it in. I've got a Muncie also. My question is , what about the front end . Should a get IFS with rack and pinion or try to fit the stroker next to the old steering box. Any suggestions. Thanks

GM installed big block chevy engines in that Nova body style. I dont see a problem fitting your stroker in the car.

Just refrest the suspension with new rubber, align the front end and call it done.

As far as the pump goes I would switch to a serpentine one, run a reversed waterpump, serpentine pulley on the alternatior, and serpentine crank pulley. Then bolt up a tensioner with a metal pulley.

No more belt squeal, your acessories are fixed, and changing belts for maintance takes less then 5 minutes.
If the alternatior is old then switching to a cs130 is a easy upgrade that puts out more amps at lower rpm then the cs10/12 can.
