Food for thought, a 200-4R has a universal bell housing. Bolts right up to a BOP engine.

If I were to keep it 350 powered I would probably go that route. Few hundred
dollars more which in my world is a lot. But since a 455 might go in, a 200R4 would be another grand for enough upgrades to live behind a BB.
Be awesome but out of my reach for now. As it is I am always scanning the shop for things I can CL. To fund a project I should not really be doing.

X2. Something else, if you do weld up a couple of corners by the taillamps, you could always paint it semi gloss black at those body lines to lose the filler. That would look pretty good, and you wouldn't have to worry about matching the paint.

I don't know a whole lot about these cars, but isn't the Nova stuff pretty much a bolt in (interior, etc)? There are a ton of Nova stores; you might be able to do the interior and all pretty reasonably. I dig it!

those bop cars are the step children of the greats but how could you really turn them down i picked this ventura sprint custom for 5 bills off cl last year wo a drivetrain to flip but after spending some time with it it grew on me around here everyone has a novas n chevelles an i kinda like a little differance it now has a 454t400 w 355 rear gear n lots of fun i love my 67 swb truck like my own kid but this stepchild is still part of the family and the only stray from 6 chevys i think they are still great cars

Been messing around with paint on that idea, its a good one.
Not sure if I would need to weld up seem? See RH vs. LH.
I have cloth inserts and have yet to see Nova covers that weren't all vinyl.

I was thinking like the LH. You could use the seam to break the paint, or just outside of it.
