283 Nova,

My dad owned a 63 nova 4door with the small I6 too, it was nice and smooth, would run 70+ on the highway and get 24MPG to boot. but, in the city with all 4 drum brakes....not the smartest thing in a metro area with stupid people driving around you.

Basically two of the GMC V6 motors made into one V12. This was an option back in the day, but these guys have taken it to a whole new level...
