It's auto with a 350. I found a 70's something Nova with auto and a 350. The inside flange to flange measurement is 53" which will put the outside dimension at around 60". From the charts I have my 54 was originally 62" flange to flange. Do you guys think this Nova will be too short? Thanks.
All the best, Ted

The 62-67 are the only ones that are smaller. Check here: http://www.novaresource.org/axle.htm This guy (Scott Windle) really knwos his Nova stuff. | | |

Thank you Ray, incredible information at the nova site. It will be great fun finding out what I am getting.
You guys are great.
