[1955 D/GAS]

Hey everyone. Thought I would put a few pics of my 64 Nova that has been a drag car since 1967. Back in the day it ran modified production then later just a bracket car. I have just about completed the engine which is a Hilborn injected 409 inch small block. The car has a full certified cage and all streel legal stuff is operable. The front end from firewall forward has been totally redone with Church Boys coil over conversion and CPP tubular control arms. Looking forward to getting it to the track and on the street! I will post moe as progress continues. Brian

Cool ride. What are the spacers that you have on the valve covers? I'm using those on my car, and the rockers almost touch - I have the extra thick gaskets on it now, but more clearance would be good.

Thanks Mike. The spacers are 1" swap meet gems. I had to clearance the inside edge to clear the Jesel rockers.

Thanks DaveS. I'm looking forward to getting it on the dyno and getting this thing finished. I have a Hilborn for the 55 and will be running a 331" SBC with a 4 speed.
