Yes! I have a complete stick shift setup for it (scattershield, Rod end linkage, Tilton clutch, etc), but several transmission manufacturers were nervous about it. One even laughed and said they wouldn’t sell me a transmission😅. Only real options are a Jerico or G-Force. They’re semi streetable so that’s why I chose the Hydramatic.

Love it! I bet this Nova sounds rowdy!

If I can figure out how to do it, I’ll post a video. The one I have is of the initial fire up, with zero tuning. But it is still really crisp on the throttle.

With that said…it will probably scare women and small children🥴

Nice build, I like it. TH400 a much better trans for a street machine such as you’ve got. Post that video I’d like to hear the motor. 👍

Working on video thing...L-O-L.
I don't how much fun it is yet...it was -28 yesterday and the wind was howling! I recently moved back to the Canadian prairies from the west coast, so there won't be any road tests for a bit ...
