283 was never available in the 3rd gen nova so get the 307 at 200hp which was smallest lowest horse power v8 in 1970. you want it believable right?

Much better idea than mine, Bill! And I should know because my first new car was a 70 Nova with a 200hp 307

Door reassembly. Original paper vapor barrier goes back on. Note the skewed way they were glued on at the factory. Schonye recreated this special factory touch by lining up the holes in the paper with the original screw holes of the door panel.






Original door panel with original "YENKO DEUCE" stickers.
