With an Edelbrock aluminum intake, a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor and aluminum heads, this isn't just some lazy truck engine, but a torque-happy street assassin that perfectly complements the Nova's compact size and agile handling. For better weight distribution and to free up some under-hood space, the battery was relocated to the trunk, which is clean but not fully finished, although a reproduction mat would be an inexpensive upgrade that would look great.īig power in a little package was the Nova SS calling card from day one, and with 454 cubic inches of bib block thunder, this one carries some serious blasting powder under the hood.
