Way to think outside the box! Keep up the good work!

Wow! There's been a lot more positive feedback than I expected. Most of the muscle car guys I talk to think it is sacrilege.

Most of us rotary guys think it's sacrilege to put a LS1 in a formerly rotary-powered car. When the tables are turned, most of us love it.

If you can fiberglass any body panels that you can. They make all sorts of fiberglass parts for those cars. Should help lighten it up a little more. Great project keep us posted. I've always wanted to put a rotary in a Shelby Cobra replica.

I've always wanted to put a rotary in a Shelby Cobra replica. A rotary Cobra would be sweet! Talk about a lightweight package! I agree that fiberglass panels are the way to go. The nova has a fiberglass hatch, hood, bumpers, and a lexan rear window. I'll post the list of lightening modifications tonight. There are so many that I can't remember all of them off of the top of my head. |

Nice. Interesting idea. I'm currently working on a '66 Nova, but elected to stay with a SBC. I think you'll be alright with the rotary. The early Nova's are lighter than most people realize. Personally, I think the benefits of going bridgeport with a capable turbo are dubious, at best. A mild streetport and an extra pound of boost will get you to the same number, with the likely benefit of improved durability. Quite a few experienced enginebuilders feel otherwise. That said, I opted out of the bridgeport because I have never used them, and dont have the time or the resources to try at this point. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/index.php?...p;hl=Bridgeport |
That is sweet! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif
