There are a lot of 396/375 Novas out there and as cool as they are there are very few Novas with an L88 Novas with incredible stories!! Keep her as the special car that she is!!! It was installed at the dealership right?? Kind of a supercar of its own!!!

Now I'd bet on the "CHEVY II TUFF" Nova just because it has the 5.13 gears and with the dana 60 The Nova can launch at any rpm with out blowing the rear out!

Old nostalgic drag cars are the new wave, this thread is 140 pages long!
You can see some Arnie Beswick and Grumpy's toy's I think on page 2.

I'll throw my opinion in too. I have a 70 Nova with a 427 in it. Not quite an L88, but close. It is a blast to drive, so I would lean towards leaving the L88 in the car. Do what has to be done to get the original driveline and store it. When (if) you ever get tired of the big incher, put it back to all original. In the meantime, beat the crap out of it.
