yep, and since you don't want a standard old 307 nova I will take it off your hands for a reasonable price..

Got anything to trade. I like C. Silver, for example?

Schoneye, swap out those gold cad bolts from the upper a-arm bushings - I'm thinking they should be black oxide. That alt wire plug looks gray - I think it should be white. Looks like you got the dust flaps on the right side of the wheelhouses - I learned that one the hard way!

Love that Fathom Blue!

Marlin, I believe your right on the bolts.. However, was there a difference from the small block alternator plugs in comparison to the big blocks??? Reason I bring this up is because mine has never been replaced on my 70 big block car and it is a grey ended plug just like what Ken has there...

283 was never available in the 3rd gen nova so get the 307 at 200hp which was smallest lowest horse power v8 in 1970. you want it believable right?

Much better idea than mine, Bill! And I should know because my first new car was a 70 Nova with a 200hp 307

Door reassembly. Original paper vapor barrier goes back on. Note the skewed way they were glued on at the factory. Schonye recreated this special factory touch by lining up the holes in the paper with the original screw holes of the door panel.






Original door panel with original "YENKO DEUCE" stickers.
