      Description

      Over time, normal wear and tear makes your Nova's horsepower feel like less, even if you take care of your engine and only drive her on weekends. By comparison, new V-6 Camrys & V-6 Accords make over 265HP and feel faster...SACRILEGE!

      Eckler's Nova has the perfect solution...a professionally hand built 396 cubic inch small block Chevy crate engine from Blueprint Engines. We're talking 485 horses at 5,800 RPM right out of the box...that’s more than the C7 LT1 Stingray or more than double your factory output! That's enough power to light up your tires and put the fun and excitement where it belongs...under YOUR hood! And, thanks to modern technology, you'll get all that power with good reliability and drivability.

      With a proven Blueprint Crate Engine co
