Re: weight reduction G/SA nova
I raced a '69 Nova around 1996 and I could get to just under 3200 lbs with me in it. I weigh 150 give or take a few lbs...
Drum brakes....powerglide....stock bench seat...one small battery up front...full carpeting....weight box in the trunk.... I think the G weight minimum was 3195 ? Not sure...

Re: weight reduction G/SA nova
Mine weighed in right at 3200. That's with factory buckets, no weight in the box, turbo 350, single light weight battery and me at 210. With my 200 and a little more work I think I can make 3150.

Re: weight reduction G/SA nova
Bingo! Replace the factory front and rear. Front can be as much as 5 lbs or more lighter and the rear 3-4. Probably the cheapest weight to get out.
