Retrobution II Z11 Powered Nova

[409envy]

I am looking for pictures or descriptions of the engine installation on this car. I can find plenty of pictures of the car with a solid axle but the original 1964 version had the factory front suspension. I was wondering how they fit the Z11 between the shock towers.

This picture is of the second version with the altered wheel base and engine setback.

One of our members, "oilforkids" was working on a Retribution II tribute car. With a little luck maybe he'll see this post and fill in a few blanks.
Here's a link to one of his posts... (it's the 4th one from the top) http://www.348-409.com/forum/threads/retribution-ii-z-11-chevy-ii.12724/#post-108740

Bill Thomas jr is still around and knows these answers . I believe he may have some pics

if you look at these images. this was a test 409 block and 690 heads to evaulate the space between the shock towers, you cannout put exahust manifolds on or headers and i believe that is why Harrell just placed the engine a foot back. Retribution II is Bill Thomas . Bad Bascom. road rally car which had a updated impala and corvette. mashed suspension.
