68-72 Novas in SS

Chipper Chapman · 05-16-2007, 09:31 PM

Just wondering why so few 68-72 Novas in super stock? All the same classes and combos as 67-69 camaro plus some, (except for the 427 and 302) Lots of them in stock. Just wanting a bit of food for thought, no secrets needed! Thanks

You would think with the new "relaxed" SS/GT rules that some of these cars will start showing up now and then. There is quite a few of them affordably priced on Racingjunk.com nowadays, so all you need is to pick a combo and throw it in. It could'nt be that easy could it?
I have a back halved 68 myself, and its crossed my mind a few times, but my wallet brings me back to reality. Amazing how that works.

ok guys that 68 nova combo in ss/gt sounds interesting, any ideas on a gt combo to run mid 10,s engine trans 2sp or is 3 sp allowed in that year ss/gt class, rear gear ratio, lets hear what you think or recomend....

I wasn't even thinking about the new gt rules, but that opens up a whole new world of classes for these to fit into. And yes they ran 3 speeds in them in 68, or at least in the bb cars.

Hmmmmm.....how about a chap alternative to a '67-69 Z-28? 302 Nova or better yet 302 '66 Chevy II or even better better better a 302 4-speed Monza!!!

If you can't tell, I've always wanted to race a 302 Z engine...

I bet you are going class racing and leaving the brackets behind.
