Big progress on our Spirit of '26 Nova project! In this episode, we complete several major installation milestones to get our 1974 Nova Spirit of America tribute one step closer to hitting the road.

It all starts with our fresh Chevy 383 stroker, which moves into its new home under the hood. We also install the carburetor, set up the throttle linkage and transmission kickdown cable, install the headers, and get the transmission in place. We’ll cover the important details that can make the difference between a clean, functional installation and problems down the road.

There’s still plenty of work ahead, but the finish line is getting closer!
