SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL ULTIMATE MAGAZINE PROJECT BLOWN PRO STREET/RACE NOVA

 

Here it is, perhaps the most involved and surely one of the most popular major magazine project cars ever created.  This was Super Chevy Magazine’s Saturday Night Special Nova.  Featured prominently in multiple issues of the magazine and the center feature of a special book on Novas, published by the editors of Super Chevy. This 1963 Nova SS has never been run and all the parts are as new.  It started life as a showcase for Chris Alston’s Chassisworks’ then-new bolt-on front clip, installed in his shop in Sacramento and evolved over the course of its build into a full tube chassis car with the very best that the industry had to offer.  Its chassis cradles a blown 421-inch small-block Chevy built by Klein Racing Engines. (Made over 800 horsepower with very minimal boost, on pump gas!)  It has all the top-of-the-line parts starting with a Bow-tie block and Dart Raised Runner heads and topped off by a fully polished BDS 8-71 supercharger with a pair of Vrbancic Brothers/Carb Shop blueprinted Holley 850cfm blower carbs. There's all the top internals, forged stroker crank, H-beam rods, forged blower pistons, coupled with a cam belt drive, Billet Fabrication oil pan, Titan billet oil pump, MSD 7AL ignition, custom headers, evacupan air pump system, prelber, etc.  Backing up the powerplant is a dual-disc, fully adjustable Titan billet clutch; the same type used in Alcohol racecars.  It is a state-of-the art piece and is housed in a fully approved Lakewood scattershield and connects to a legendary, never used 5-speed Lenco planetary transmission!  Out back is a Chassisworks custom Fab 9 narrowed rearend fitted with Strange Engineering axles and aluminum center section. The rear suspension is all business with Koni aluminum coilover shocks, stainless four-link with sway bar and wishbone track locator.  There’s even a set of chromed wheelie bars! The front end is all Chassisworks (polished stainless steel upper and lower A-arms, aluminum rack, coilovers, forged spindles). Wilwood discs on all four corners and fully polished Weld Wheels billet five-star racing wheels get it rolling on massive Mickey Thompson rubber.  There is so much more to this car that it would take a week to outline. This well-documented Nova deserves to be completed -- then DRIVEN.  Everything is included, from a full compliment of carbon fiber AutoMeter gauges to custom-made Percy speed glass.  All aluminum work is complete: interior, trunk, engine compartment! For more detailed description of the building of this project, do a Google search and you’ll find all you need to know.  But please feel free to contact me via ebay mail (or reach out to me direct at 9O9215O757, anytime) if you have any questions and want added images.  The car has been kept in a climate-controlled environment and is ready for a new home.  This would be the ultimate street racer, bracket car or a perfect investment to finish and sell overseas where foreign car enthusiasts are gobbling up American iron for big bucks!  Title is clear and in my name.  No issues!  I will do all I can to help arrange shipping to anywhere in the world at the buyer’s complete expense. This is the real deal and without question would cost a tremendous amount of cash to duplicate -- without the history of course!

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
