68 Motion Preped Nova
 

I recently found 2 Speed and Supercar Magazines dated Feb. 68 and June of 70. The 68 magazine had a cool article on a 68 Motion Preped Nova, while recently on the topics of 68 Novas.. I posted the article and some other cool pics.. from the two books... Enjoy...

Never seen that write up before thanks. One thing I did notice was at the bottom of the first page it says the car had a 3:55 rear with a close ratio transmission? I thought the 3:55 had the M-20 wide ratio and when you changed to a higher gear ratio it would change to the M-21 close ratio?
Just some thing I heard or read some where not sure if the statement is correct?

You could specify if you wanted a close ratio trans, but if you didn't designate it, you normally got the wide ratio by default (so goes popular belief)

I see they talk about taking out the 396 and puting a 427 in the 68 nova .I thought bb 68 l78 didnt come out until late april early may of 68 .Its a feb 68 magazine https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Take a look at the engine compartment photo, its a manual drum brake car !!!!! in that photo. hard to tell what chassis that engine is sitting in !!!!

Most of the BB Novas had drum brakes....discs were optional. I'm not sure (may need help here from Howie) but, the power option for the big finned drums, may also have been an option https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Can't see the pics, but I assume its the Nova that went to PR?

Re: 68 Motion Preped Nova
 

I think when you got power drum they came with the finned drums. That opt. was on the Gibb Nova's.

Since you are on the subject could you get a 375 nova non ss car? I know you could be a 350 hp car without the ss package.
