If car is'nt mini tubbed I would run stock, if is mini tubbed would consider lower class SS/GT maybe 283/220 or check see if 4.8 LS is in guide,I'm sure there are some guys on here that know some good combo's that are rated good.

Thumbs up Re: 68 nova super stock engine

If the car is nor tubbed then run the 327 is stock it would run G/S. I would consider this combo in SS also. As what was mentioned before I would run in the lower GT classes. It would be a fun car, enjoy.

You won,t be able to use anything off that 396 core for SS, a BB chevy entry level carb to pan in SS would be pushing 20K. Jericho with adj. clutch, shifter, can, dshaft 8K+. Maybe someone has a 327-350 eng. complete. I would run a auto if your new to the class little more room for error, otherwise good luck which ever route you choose. gsa612

Mike, the only 4.8L LS engine is a truck engine. All passenger car LS series engines are 5.7 or bigger.
