They're high nickel content 4-bolt blocks, usually with forged cranks. Not that hard to find, and $65 for a short block at the local wrecking yard.
If I were to build one it would probably either be a 327 or a 377 (destroked 400). Big bore/short stroke I've actually been thinking about building a turbo Trailblazer motor for my Nova. 4.2L twin cam straight-6.

Re: heres the 78NOVA guys......
Up until I took it apart to freshen up the front (and then started a business, got a lot of other things going and bla bla bla) it was my daily. 15K miles a year, college, work, home, repeat. Right now life is all about making the business work and trying to put together projects for it. The Nova is on the list of projects, but it's about three cars out, not counting customer stuff.
