.....That beggs the question that if Fred Gibb, who was as plugged into GM performance as he was to build the 68 COPO autos, why didn't he order them with al. heads. That's 60#s off the nose.

Even if aluminum heads could have been ordered in 68, 60 pounds off of a Nova would have put them at the heavy end of the next higher class for NHRA drag racing. That wouldn't have been a good situation, even if aluminum heads were a possibility.
