You could possibly get by with a mini spool. They are available from Jegs or Summit for about $50 dollars. I have a 1969 Mach 1 that I have drag raced for over 20 years and I finally put a mini spool in the 9 inch rear. Works great. I had trouble with a couple of traction locks breaking and I went to the simple fix. My car uses 9.00x 28 x15 Mickey Thompson slicks and runs 11.65 quarters with about a 1.60 sixty foot times. I was stubborn and totally against using the spool until a friend of mine put one in his 11 second 5.0 and swore to me it handled ok. My car goes straight as an arrow and turns fine all around the pits and the end of the track and around the farm here. Even with the slicks on the back. Maybe because the Mustang is fairly light in the back so it turns without too much drama back there. The nova should be fairly light in the rear too so it may be ok. C- clip eliminators are kind of a project to put in. I would consider the junkyard 9 inch from a ford car or truck. Gears are very cheap for them and again you could use the mini spool and have a very durable cheap set up. A really good option would be a 9 inch housing from one of the old small ford bronco's. They use anywhere from a 3.50 -4.56 gear and usually have a traction lock from the factory. They also have leaf spring perches that are easy to cut off and relocate.
