Just wondering, why does that car have a big block cross member?

Good eye. This is the original cross member for this car. Yenko Deuces (4 speeds at least) all had them. I suppose it is something that Don wanted or perhaps Chevrolet COPO required it as the LT1 had never been put in a Nova before. Guru Marlin Spotts probably has better insight.

Bernhard, here are the pics of the Lakewood coil spring traction bars hardware and directions. Let me know if you need anything more. These Coil spring bars are the only set I have ever seen.

I'm with Scott on this one Sam.

That was a wicked little Deuce you had there. Hope to see the Brothers collection one day as they have some truly wicked cars. I've enjoyed many of Kevin O's videos on cars in the collection and recall this Deuce with a burnout in this particular episode. Thanks for the pictures Sam.

I want those wheels and tires. Oh yeah, and the track bars too.

Sam: What engine mounting brackets to the crossmember were used for the Yenko Nova 4 speed cars, SBC or BBC? Don.

Don, do you mean transmission mounting brackets? The engine mounts are SB mounts and I just don’t remember if any unique trans mount was used with my Deuce. This is a question for Schonye (resotorer and original owner-still- of a SY Deuce) or Marlin Spotts ( the keeper of the Deuce Registiry).

I was wondering the same thing. If it has a big block transmission cross member, does it also have the big block frame stands for the motor mounts?

Thanks to all with the help and pics of the DD bars. Gave these a fresh coat of paint (even though they were nos, paint was crap), made some new rubber bumpers and made the new hardware!
