Not mine. 1965 Nova and LS1 - $1500

1965 Nova hardtop. It had a 6 cylinder that I pulled and powerglide trans. I still have the powerglide that can go with the car. The car needs body work(driver door skin, driver rear quarter, trunk pan and lid) I have all glass that has been removed. I was planning on making it into a racecar but lost interest. Also, I have a LS1 minus the intake manifold and computer. It has the Texas Speed MS4 cam installed. Would be willing to seperate for $750 each or $1500 for both. Price is firm.

Good thing I'm broke as a joke. I've been promising myself to build a Nova for my Dad someday, and that's a pretty great starting point.

This could be such a nice project. Very good price on the Chevy II body. Wonder if the LS1 is a 5.7 or 5.3.

LS1 is the 346, the 5.3 is based on the LS1 design but is actually named different.

GM LS engine (Gen. III small block) Type RPO Name Displacement V8 LR4 4800 4,807 cc (4.807 L; 293.3 cu in)[11] L33 5300 5,328 cc (5.328 L; 325.1 cu in)[12] LM7 5300 5,328 cc (5.328 L; 325.1 cu in)[13] LM4 5300 5,328 cc (5.328 L; 325.1 cu in) L59 5300 5,328 cc (5.328 L; 325.1 cu in)[13] LQ4 6000 5,964 cc (5.964 L; 363.9 cu in)[14] LQ9 HO 6000 5,964 cc (5.964 L; 363.9 cu in)[15]

Have to ask the guy which it is or look on the block, there is a displacement cast into thye block somewhere. If it came out of a truck or SUV those are the engine codes. No Ls1 engines were in a truck so make sure its out of a F body or older Vette. The LS2 and 3 are the 6.0 that is basically an updated and enlarged LS1. $750 for an LS1 is very cheap, wonder if its broken?
