    I don't know how I missed this Thread ... my daily driver '63 with Buick hubcaps.
    Also, I just installed a mini sub frame kit from CPP. Wow, what an improvement!
    I highly recommend it for anyone planning to actually drive one of these little gems.

    Thought I'd share a couple of pics taken by my buddy Greg last year,
    That's his Red '66 4th from the left.
    12 cars got together for a cruise around Edmonton - all '66 or '67 Novas, Chevy II's Or Acadians.
    Wouldn't that be cool to see roll past:cool:

    • idler bearing arm conversion
    • spring perches
    • leaf spring bushings
    • disc brakes w/ power booster
    • 5 lug rear end
    • 1 inch lowering blocks
    • 5 lug wheels and new tires

    Not the same as seeing a bunch of them roll by in person, but here's some Chevy II video for you...

    That's one of my favorite Chevy II's


    I snapped a couple pics of that car when we toured CPP:

    Most of those cars are over on SNS.


    Thanks! Good luck with the upgrades. How's the T5?

    Putting a T5 behind the 194ci is the best thing I ever did for the car.
    Very drivable now.
    Like I've said before - If my 15 year old and I can do this swap in an unheated garage during an Alberta winter with no hoist or power tools
    then any idiot can do it!
    Any one needing info on this I made a tech page on my Car Domain site (pg12)

    It's stock :cool: Chevy II front suspension with a brace from lower frame rail to lower frame rail.
    The drive train currently is a 327, a milder version of the old Super Stock engine.... also has a 'glide behind it.
    I'm in the process of turning it back into a street car so we can enjoy it more.

    Over the past 40 years, I've had 46 Nova's. Mostly, 62-67 year cars. Street cars, Drag Car, and show cars. Working on #47 for the wife. 66 SS w/factory vinyl top. Have a shop dedicated to 62-67 Nova's. (B&B Chevy II Performance) Started the shop in 1968. Run it part time now. Still have lottsa' parts and NOS stuff. Just built a new shop behind the house on our property. Still putting it together yet....
