1966 Chevrolet Nova SS V-8 Resto-Mod
JJ Rods LLC is proud to present this beautifully transformed SS V-8, an original SS that has been completely reimagined as a modern Resto-Mod while retaining the unmistakable character and presence that made these cars legendary. Finished in a stunning Regal Red, this build combines classic muscle-car styling with serious modern performance, upgraded handling, braking, cooling and comfort.
Under the hood is a 408 cubic-inch ATK LSX stroker V-8 equipped with Holley Sniper EFI and a CVF carbon-fiber pulley system. The engine is backed by a TCI Super Street Fighter 700R4 automatic transmission built for the performance of this combination, with approximately 750 horsepower on tap. A CBR aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps everything under control, while the Restomod Tanks EFI fuel system supplies the engine with the fuel it needs.
This car was built to be more than something that simply looks good sitting still. The chassis and suspension have been extensively upgraded with CBR components, including subframe connectors, upper and lower control arms, front and rear sway bars, transmission crossmember and a complete 4-link system. The car has been DSE mini-tubbed and fitted with Viking adjustable coilovers front and rear. Steering is handled by a CBR rack-and-pinion system, while the rear is equipped with a Quick Performance housing, 35-spline axles and 3.50 gears.
Stopping power comes from Wilwood disc brakes with hydroboost, giving this SS the braking capability to match its substantial horsepower. CBR headers feed into a custom 3-inch stainless-steel X-pipe exhaust with Borla mufflers, giving the car the aggressive sound you would expect from a serious muscle-car Resto-Mod.
The exterior has been finished in a beautiful Regal Red that gives this classic SS a fresh, purposeful appearance without losing its original character. Details such as the Ring Brothers hood hinges add to the quality and attention to detail throughout the build. Custom Budnik Argon wheels, measuring 17x7 up front and an aggressive 18x12 in the rear, are wrapped in Toyo Proxes tires and give the car the stance this build deserves.
Inside, the transformation continues with an all-new interior, new glass, Vintage Air and new rubber seals throughout the doors, hood and trunk. Dynamat has been installed on both the top and bottom sides for improved sound control and driving comfort. The electrical system has also been completely addressed with Painless Wiring.
The result is an SS that looks like a classic muscle car but drives with the performance, control and comfort expected from a professionally built Resto-Mod. From the 408 LSX stroker and 750-horsepower combination to the CBR chassis upgrades, Viking coilovers, Wilwood brakes and custom Budnik wheels, no major part of the car was overlooked.
