i just picked up a '72 nova 4 door from my grandparents and after restoring it i'd like to, if not fully rebuild the engine, at least supercharge it for some extra power until i get enough time to do a full rebuild. It's bone stock as of now and if i dig into it i'd suspect the entire thing just needs grease and fluids to drive.
this will be a winter project and as of now i have lots of time throughout the winter set aside for this.
now for the questions,
what are common trouble spots for rust/broken wires/bad welds/anything that would cause this to become a headache?
what will i need to do to the engine to make it compatible with a supercharger kit?
are there suggested upgrades for the driveline?
any suggested pieces or upgrades for fuel or oil pumps beyond high flow?
is there anything i should be wary of besides the engine and driveline?
and am i missing anything from this list?
also, if anyone has links to websites that sell new and used parts for reasonable prices for a '72 nova could you post them up please? finding parts killed my '63 impala and i'd like that to NOT happen to this one.
