Re: 68 nova super stock engine
If the car is not tubbed and the frame is not altered (subframe connectors are okay), run Stock instead. There are very few of that generation Nova in Super Stock. The T-10 transmission will have to go. You'll be needing a Jerico.

Re: 68 nova super stock engine
If you go to the top of this page and click on the NHRA competition icon
---LHS of next page click on Stock car classification --- Scroll down to Chevrolet select year This will show you what's legal and horsepower ratings. 350 /295 horse is popular in SS and stock ---Trevor |

Re: 68 nova super stock engine
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.

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.

Re: 68 nova super stock engine
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
