I'm worried about the hood clearance in the Nova. I bought a carb adapter so that I can turn the carb 90 degrees to make setting up the carb linkage easier. I wonder if I'll even be able to use it.

I've been hearing bad things about mileage in 292. 10-12 seems to be the norm. I don't know anything about carb or fuel injection. From what I've been reading, if I'm going to learn one, it might as well be fuel injection.

Theres a guy on another site running an LS1 with a 200r4 in his 67 nova wagon. He gets 26 mpg on the freeway if he keeps it to a reasonalble speed and with no AC. It'd be hard to beat that I think with a six.
