    well if you got crank, block and heads-----pump gas--round 10-1 compression--decent cam, oil pan and exhaust that will fit your chassis--stick shift and headers create clutch problems in the Nova, but auto helps--probably remote oil filter--

    get rid of that manifold

    Killer rat rod motor. For anything other than full race, get rid of the intake. Single carb on correct intake will make plenty of power. Tunnel rams are good for high RPM motors and lightweight rods. I love the look of a tunnel ram, but they don't perform til well up int he RPMs.
