^ yup. i just want it to run and be driveable. then ill send the other paperweight to the machine shop (chucks auto machine shop) around the corner and have him tell me what he honestly thinks about fixing it, etc. if its more than the cost of finding a lt1, installing a hotcam and carbing it, then it becomes my father inlaws motor that he can get built for the nova. he has the funds for a motor build, i do not. im not trying to build some monster pick-up. i mean a honda here a acura there would be funny, but thats why i own a camaro, for that type of fun.
also doesnt account for the fact i enjoy being different with anything. zraffz please see the following article:

that would be fun to build, but with a little better cam since hopefully its a roller block
