I'm guessing 4.3 with Chevy Performance or Brodix heads? Would the injection be a one off build for the head they are running? I know Chevy Performance offers an 18* aluminum head for the 4.3 but I would be interested in finding out more info on the injection set up. If anyone has more info please post or PM. Thanks!

All the engines in Nolen's cars were originally built at Niebel's. Bill Tranter is now building them. They are GM aluminum blocks. I don't remember which heads they have on them. Kinsler and Hilborn used to make the injection set up we used.

. I don't know if that is the same throttle body set-up that was on Nolen's silver crown engine. If it is the one that we built it is an old Holley carburetor with the ends epoxied shut.

I think it was a ex-Kenny Irwin motor/car? Helped Brent Beauchamp at Little 5 a few yrs ago, no idea which car has that motor now.

Younger viewers may not remember that NASCAR Busch series(Xfinity) used V6 engines for years. Injection is readily available from Kinsler.

I remember the Goody's Dash Series, didn't that consist of 4 and 6 cylinder cars? You're right though, I don't recall Busch running V6 cars.
