Reptile (Tom) -
The prices of 12 bolt Nova housings are stupid!! Here's what I did for mine - found a '69 Impala empty housing at the swap meet for $40....cut off all the brackets, etc....bought the MW ends that take a Ford bearing and small chevy backing plates...bought some el-cheapo perches from Summit...cut the housing to stock Nova width, weld it all up, and Bob's your Uncle! The going rate for a 62-67 Nova 12 bolt is around $1500...and then you either get to use C-clip eliminators, or cut the ends off anyway.
