'66 Nova Update

[ironworks]

I live in bakersfield which is like the redneck roundy round capital of California. Everyone I talked to said use the Wooodward. Plus the Woodward looks way cooler. If they last on the dirt and on ashpalt, for season it think they will last with what we are doing

i think woodward go its name from dirt track racing, however sweet is huge in the asphalt circle track out here in the east, they make very nice units and can go up to 22 inch between pivots. i will agree they do not look as cool, but you can get one for 600-800 complete.

Sweet makes very nice stuff. I used their stuff in my Late Model. Check the 22" dimension. When I talked to them about our project they wouldn't go that wide. That was about 1 1/2 years ago. I can't remember for sure.

maybe its 21, but i did check with them as i was looking for a 22 inch pivot rack last spring and thats as wide as they liked to go

Then a sweet rack would not have worked on this car any ways.

Rodger,

We were wondering what track width you went with on the Nova? We are struggling finding a power rack with a 22.5" pivot. We're trying to run stock Camaro track width so we don't have a front wheel drive looking wheel! Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brent

there are two track widths that are talked about, hub to hub, and wheel track, hub to hub is what most chassis builders use when talking, so even if a stock camaro is 59 inch hub to hub and you build a new chassis 6.15 or whatever, you go deeper on the bs on the wheel which maintains wheel track width, yet in most cases gives you better scrub radius, among other things
