1968 Nova
8.5" /w 4.10's

Victor Jr. for l92
Custom EPS cam 222/234 @ 0.050 .597/.612 111+4 Kit
770 Street avenger (will most likely have to upgrade to a 950HP)
Either Dougs D3337 or Dynatech 715-21410
3" exhaust (Dynomax ulta flow mufflers?)

http://www.novaresource.org/weights.htm#1968 shows the stock weight. Not sure with the ly6 however. and my fat behind.... 290's but hoping to get to 220 before I'm done the car.... Was 340+++ in the spring on 2011. So maybe 3400-3500 lbs.

Well, your motor should make similar power to mine. My car is running about 11.40s in the quarter now based on my 7.28 in the 1/8th. So, 200 # lighter plus a higher stall converter - I would say 10.90s - 11.00s if you put a real carburetor on it and tune it really well.

10.90's would be awesome but I only expect mid 11's myself. My engine is only about 9.67:1 and yours is about 10.9:1? So on compression alone I will be down about 5% on your engine (so down about 25-30hp), my cam is 4 degrees less on intake compared yours (May not be as much a difference a if might make up for some of the lost compression). Also your heads are ported so your exhaust should flow better....... I do have more gear so hopefully I can get this car to 60' nice with the more gear and converter.....
What does all mean in real world performance? Who know were bench racing lol....
