Was this Nova better off with the inline 6 under the hood? The short answer is, no, but that’s because every hot rodder on the planet wants more performance whether it is really necessary or not. Tommy has been cruising this crew cab Nova as his daily driver for the past couple of years now and we dig it regardless of what engine and trans are in it. But because he’s got a running and driving V8 car sitting in the driveway, this is basically a free V8 swap!

Video Description:

My CRUSTY four door Nova is a GREAT daily driver. So I did the right thing, and took it apart. I used a donor car (the white Nova that we got running last year) and spent as little as possible. I spent $260 on parts, and sold the Nova body for $300, plus have a pile of parts left over to sell, so this was essentially a FREE V8 engine swap. Follow along as Carlee and I tear into these two Novas and laugh along the way.
