Caecey bought his 1977 Chevy Nova when he was a teenager, hungry to learn and ready to get his hands dirty. Now, we’re picking up where that journey began, replacing the original 250 cubic-inch inline-six with a 327 small-block and chasing a 500-horsepower goal not just for performance, but for the knowledge gained along the way. This isn’t just a garage build; it’s a hands-on education in real-world wrenching, problem-solving, and figuring things out one step at a time. We’re staying true to the car’s old-school roots, adding just enough modern tech, and documenting every lesson learned as the project evolves.
