Bill Thomas Nova Conversion

Very cool! .
About 25 years ago I remember seeing pics in an old Hot-Rod mag of Thomas transplanting 327 Fuel Injection motors into new '62 Novas....clean, stock looking conversions.

I have that issue too. I'll dig it up after dinner if anyone's interested.

Bruce: I was taking a short break! Sheesh! Besides, all work and no play makes Bill a dull boy.

Bring it on if you have it handy to you Bill. . I haven't seen mine in years and would have a hard time finding it even if it was still around? . I remember the pics but is there text w/ it too? .
Thanks! .

-------Didnt they call the Nova "Bad Bascomb" or something similar in that article??? I have never forgotten the B-B reference but couldnt remember where or when I saw it........Bill S

Bill, it's not the Harrell 62-65 Nova w/ the Z-11 or Mystery Motor you're thinking of is it....the 'Distribution' or whatever it was called? .

Pete,,,,,The article I remember had a 1962 crate 327 fuelie. It was located in the stock position and stock suspension was used, I believe..........Bill S

Sounds like the same article I remember but don't recall a certain car, only them converting stock units? .

Anyone have anything on the 'Distribulator' 409 Nova or whatever it was called? .

I made a separate post for the '62 Hot Rod Chevy II V8 swap article.

They were sold Nationally, out of the Nickey Parts Catalog, as well.
