Maintain your Classic with a used Nova Engine
In the 1950s and 1960s, passion and feeling were a part of the manufacturing process. The cars were outlandish and the best designs were developed in this era. American manufacturers including Chevrolet, with its Nova, used a lot of chrome and a lot of angles to make the car’s styling statement. The swinging sixties was the era where style developed and in many ways, this era was the birth of cars as art.
Nova’s Aim
The Chevrolet Nova was born in 1961 and came as a coupĂ©, a sedan and a convertible. A station wagon came later in 1962. The car came with a 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine, a 3.2 litre inline six and a 3.8 litre inline 6. You can find any used Nova engine today as they came in several other models at the time. It is best to use a traditional Nova engine to do your conversion or your restoration. Cars are best restored with the engines they came with.
