Re: Muscle car guy from Southern California
WOW!
I like what you've been able to do so far but what I like more are the wheels, WHAT A FINE CHOICE!! Can I make a suggestion though, how about 67' disc brake caps or even 68' police car caps to replace the large, turbine centercaps?

Re: Muscle car guy from Southern California
Thank you for the kind welcome. I am really happy to find this community and learn something new about caring for my car.
Klasse Act - My car originally had 14" Rally wheels with derby caps. On Novas with original disc brakes (like mine), the derby cap actually had the text "Disc Brakes" on it, so it's a bit of a misnomer to refer to the smooth caps as disc brake caps, although it's common because Camaros got a smooth cap when they had disc brakes. I wish I still had those original derby disc brake caps, but I sold my original rally wheels and had Centerline Convo Pros on the car for quite a few years. I don't think anyone is reproducing them. I personally prefer the derby caps so that's what I bought when I got these wheels - definitely a matter of preference/opinion.

When I got the car it had the original 2bbl small block 350. I recently swapped an LS engine into it which is essentially an iron block version of the Ls3. I built it with forged rods and pistons and a little bigger cam. I did all the work myself including the wiring harness, but I did take it to a professional tuner. It made about 410rwhp. The transmission is a TH400 that I went through and added a 2,800rpm stall. Rear is a 12bolt with 3.73posi that I cut and narrowed 1" per side for wheel fitment. I'll add some photos and video a little later. I have a feeling the forum will flag them for the moderator to approve.
