Supposedly, it only took calls from two racers to get SS/QA added.

C'mon guys..We can do better than that with the new, friendlier NHRA

Funny that they wouldn't add one FWD class without taking one away!
Maybe it's me................................................ .............................................

Well, they probably have more than enough Stockers to have to deal with anyway.
S/S seems to have a bit of trouble reaching most of the quotas.
A word to my friends over there..
As in past NHRA history...Use it or lose it.

Mark, I'm liking it with the now usable 4 speed.
Bigger cam than my 230 and throttle bore and venturi are the same size as my Monojet!

Just sold a 153 4 cylinder engine a few weeks ago. Pretty rare option in a Nova, but they did use that engine in postal vans. It was an
option up to 1970 in the Novas.

Good morning to all,
Would that the famous " Iron Duke " ?
I do remember working on a couple of customer cars many ( too many ) years ago with that engine in it, In the 1964 / 1965 Nova - Chevy II Bodies.
I don't remember any around Long Island N.Y. in the 66/ 67 Nova bodies or the 68 / 72 Nova bodies. I also know just because I didn't see any doesn't mean a couple didn't exist somewhere out there!
That could be pretty cool combo hooked up to a TH200 transmission.
Food for Thought, sounds fattening!
Enjoy the thought process.

Respectfully,
Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA

Seems to me that the 4 cyl.Chevy powered postal van/truck also came mounted up to a 904 Torqueflite trans with a Chevy bell housing on the TF case. I guess cores are pretty rare, but it might be something to consider and start looking for.

Slick shifted Saginaw!
Case is a bit heavy but that would be the bulkiest item in the car when I got through with it ;-)
