I've always loved those 66 Nova SS cars,,,,,certainly miss the one I had 35 years ago,,so I guess I'd have ask for a L-78 396 version and of course a L-72 427. The front ends were pretty weak on those cars, so you'd have to beef them up and it would've been a good idea to go to a multi leaf out back also,,,,,Hmmmm,,when were the first spools introduced anyway? I remember snapping a Summers Brothers axle in mine one night, and that was with a 331, Super T-10 and a Moroso Brute Strength posi with 5:57s and Lakewood traction bars. That axle is still a family heirloom to this day. Car is long gone, sadly.
