The other day I was dropping off some metal at the recycling yard and an employee asked me what two doors were from. I told him a mustang and he looked at me and said, my diddy has a nova with over 700hp, no supercharger, nitrous or nothin. I asked, what type of motor, to which he replied, i dont know.
I had a guy move some duct work around in my basement this past fall and he noticed some parts, which prompted a conversation about cars. He informed me that he and his father have over 70 novas in a field and they restore a few each year. He then proceeded to tell me about the 327 they installed in one of his novas. Its blueprinted, cast iron double hump heads, 350hp factory cam, naturally aspirated, and has 500 hp to the rear wheels. The motor is so powerful that the car can hop cans.
Im guessing the 327 has about 250hp to the rear wheels max. The stories just never end with these people. It seems to make them happy, so i usually just say, that's incredible, and let them finish the story. If i go by their logic, or lack there of, then a few of my motors must have produced at least 1,000hp.
