My Nova 3 Still on installing the 406. This is hard work for an "OLD" Coot!!! I had a lot of help from my friend Doug Forschner. Doug and I worked togather at G.E.Co. We are both retired now. Don't know how I could have done it without him. Thanks Doug!!!!!!!! |

New Oil Cooler. This is a new honeycomb cooler that is supposed to be a lot more efficiant than the tube type. This may be used for crankcase cooling.. |
 |
| Trans cooler lines I placed the trans lines through the frame part of engine mount. It is insulated with heavy rubber hose at all contact points. |

The 406 going in!! This is what I was waiting for--dropping it in the Bay. The heads are #186 iron Chevy castings with 2.02 x 1.60 stainless Manley valves, pocket ported by me, screw-in studs and guide plates, new Z-28 springs and 67cc chambers. |
