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...

Re: 68 Motion Preped Nova
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? Jason

Re: 68 Motion Preped Nova
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)

Re: 68 Motion Preped Nova
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
