Smile Re: 68 - 72 Nova SS GT manual trans combinations

Remember,, if you're building a Nova for Superstock,, with a good intake and some sort of spacer, you could have a clearance issue as there were no cowl hoods offered on them. We've got a racer out here facing the same issue with his Nova project. My 2 cents.

Don't overlook the '68 327-325 motor in the Nova (manual trans non-GT combo). -Al

Still looking for the right pieces at this time,, probably settling for a 1 inch spacer. Cylinder heads will dictate intake choice, but for right now the Brodix that was on the shelf won't allow the hood to close,,, an older Holley Strip Dominator we borrowed did have clearance. Nothing has happened on the car in over a year, right now.

There's a cure for that.
