cars a real SS with front disks,12 bolt 3:55 posi, with Cal-tracs
its got some rust, but I have all the new panels, trunk, trunk floor, tail pan, fenders, doors, full quarters, etc
bought the car with a build 327, Muncie M-21, after a Edelbrock cam swap, and aT400 with a converter, car ran right at 12.99 108, and got 16 MPG!! fun to drive,
the cars run 12.20@108 shifting around 5800, but it pulls to 6500 easily, havent really hit it with a full pass, this is with the BBC,
For drag wheels I have Weld Aluma Stars 2.0 and MT drag radials, but run the rallys every where else,

What kind of seats are they? I am trying to figure out what would work well in my 70', those look like they would fit the bill.

man, the 68 is my favorite nova. after a 71, of course. good luck and have fun with the build.
I heard the rallies sat too high, so I shied away from those when I sold my pro 90s. the 90s certainly did, even after fabbing up lower brackets for 'em. I'm a huge fan of my corbeaus now.

I got a real deal on one seat brand new, and for the other and the mounts, Summitt had a promo code and a rebate, so for everything, I dont have a bunch of cash tied up into them, and I sold the seats that were in there,
I'm 5'9" so I think I'll be OK on the height, and I set everything on the lowest settings,
Funny thing is I didnt want a Nova, a engineer at work owned it and it was wrecked, told him I'd give him 2K for it if he fixed the suspension, he reciepts totalling $8500, that was long ago,
