I always refer to the Novas as the "Bastard Step Children" of the Chevy family. No offense to anyone on the site here, but it seems like most prefer the Camaro, Chevelle or Corvettes. The Novas were way underrated I feel. I think they are a very cool musclecar that definitely would out run most others.

Just my biased .02

Wow, I got more than I expected for the lowly Nova's.

FYI, I have 3 but 2 are the Gen 2 "BOX Nova's. Both a '66 and a '67. BOTH have SuperStock chassis done by Fj Smith. The '67 has leaf's roll bar removed and is now going to be a daily-driver style car with a 425Hp 427 PLUS some work. That same more ran 10.40 in my '69 SS396/350Hp car.

My '69 as stated above, SS396/350 4 sp Garnet Red black bench int sold at Chatham Motor Products. Old street racers as well. We all thought, and was told by the owner it had a 427 in it. At the time it had Zl-1 cam, headers, strip dom intake, reworked Holley 850 4.88, but the short block was actually a '72 402 4 bolt done to L78 specs. I seen the car on the street race a '78 Arrow with a 340 and nitrous. The driver missed EVERY gear (he has MS) and STILL put a fender on him. I bought it in '90 and drove it for a bit as is, but now had 4.56's. Around '95 we decided to make it a serious street racer. That when we found it it was the 402. Balance the short, ARP bolts C&A rings, ported the '70 LS6 head and put in a Comp 660 roller. That car RAN 10.47. Was booted for no roll bar. Parked it in '98 and parted some of it out.

NOW the car has a 785Hp '69 052 block ZL-1. Built T400 6000 Coan converter 4.88 with a 35 splined 12 bolt. Smith racecraft rear suspension. Painted like a '69 Yenko Nova CLONE. Will be out next year as is till I find a '69 Vette for the motor and trans.

You mean to say a 396/350 was not available with AC on a Nova SS?

Why would that be if the Camaro and Chevelle didn't have that restriction?

I believe it had to do with room in the engine compartment, lack there of on Nova.

You could get A/C on the small block V8.

Don't the Camaro and Chevy II share the same subframe? Or not enough for them to be identical?
