any suggestions on the best lifters to go with this combo, im also thinking about using the trick flow pushrods from summit. thanks for all the great advice guys. also which oil do you guys suggest for the break in? one of the racing oils or a break in oil such as brad penn grade 1?

I could not find any long tube 1 5/8" headers on summit, can I just use the full length ones or should I start looking at jegs.com

These will work for you:

thanks glen just what I needed.

Ok guys I need some more assistance. I have decided to go with racing bucket seats and h harnesses. Now I would like to change from the shifter on the column to a floor shifter with a console if possible. The tranny will be the 700r4. I don't have to have a console, it would just be nice. Anyone know of any auto shifters from summit. Or maybe a car model that had a floor shifter and console that would fit the 78' nova. Thanks for any advice.

Here's a photo of the console from a '75-'80 Nova, also fits Buick Skylark, Olds Omega and Pontiac Venture.

Many floor shifters are available, here is just one example.....
