Noob question

Strittan · 01-03-2012, 07:33 PM

I've been looking at some stick shift Nova's on YouTube, and boy are these screaming little small-block cars cool or what!? However, it got me kinda curious. I noticed these cars are raced in SS/H, SS/I, SS/J, SS/K and SS/L. How is this possible? The 283 and 327 are two combinations, right? What are the others?

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I'm not a racer and I don't have a rule book.

The Chevy II's and Novas that run in G,H and I are the 327/275 combos and the cars running in J,K and L run the 283/220 for the most part. I know a few that run the 327/250 combo also in J. Hope that answers your question. Ed

Yeah, thanks for the answer.

1963-67 chevy novas came with 283"and 327" engines. They also came with 4 and 6 cylinder engines. Maybe I'm looking at the rules wrong, but doesn't a 327" 275hp combo fit into F,G, and H in a 66 or 67 chevy II?

Larry Stewart Jr./Sr. run their '67 Chevy II 327/275 in F and G the last couple of years.

Is Larry's car a 66 or 67? A 67 is a natural "E" car, so I'm not sure how he runs it in "G". The 66 has a better weight break and is a natural "F", so then it could run "G"

Speaking of Chevy II's, I did a photoshop a while back of a wagon I found on the web. Kinda off topic I guess, but thought I'd share it anyway.
