1962-1967 Chevy II Nova IFS Front Clip

Replace Your Original Chevy II Nova Front Suspension

This should be a major section because the current page only gives this selling point one sentence: “It replaces your stock frame from the firewall forward.”

The Scott’s 1962-1967 Chevy II Nova IFS Front Clip is much more than an A-Arm, steering or brake upgrade. It replaces the original front frame and suspension structure from the firewall forward, giving builders a completely new foundation for modern suspension, steering, brakes and drivetrain installation.

This is especially valuable on early Chevy II Nova builds where modern horsepower can quickly expose the limitations of the original front suspension and steering. Instead of modifying nearly 60-year-old suspension technology one component at a time, the Scott’s front clip allows you to modernize the entire front foundation as an integrated system. The result is improved suspension control, steering response, braking capability, engine-bay packaging and overall drivability.

This is NOT a Mustang II Front Suspension

Scott’s Hotrods Chevy II Nova IFS Front Clip is NOT a Mustang II suspension and was never based on Mustang II suspension geometry. Our True Independent Front Suspension features unequal-length Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms manufactured from massive 1-1/8″x1/4″-wall seamless DOM tubing, oversized serviceable press-in ball joints and CNC-machined stainless steel fully adjustable upper A-Arm rod ends.

We don’t use a three-piece crossmember with spring-pocket hats or T-bolt slider adjusters for suspension alignment. The Scott’s Nova IFS utilizes a heavy-duty one-piece 2″x4″x3/16″-wall crossmember, built-in anti-dive, rack & pinion steering, forged steel spindles and heavy-duty Grade 8 hardware. Every front clip is 100% TIG-welded and built to provide the strength and adjustability expected from a modern performance suspension.

1962-1967 Chevy II Nova Applications

The Scott’s IFS Front Clip is designed specifically for the 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1967 Chevy II Nova platform. Whether you’re restoring and modernizing an early Chevy II Nova restomod or transforming one into a serious Pro Touring street machine, Scott’s gives the front of the car the modern foundation needed to match the rest of the build.

From a mild small-block-powered cruiser to an LS or LT-swapped Nova producing serious horsepower, the front clip can be configured around your suspension, steering, braking and drivetrain requirements.

Built-In Strength & Adjustability

Strength starts with the Scott’s one-piece 2″x4″x3/16″-wall IFS crossmember and massive 1-1/8″x1/4″-wall seamless DOM Tubular A-Arms. Fully adjustable upper A-Arms utilize CNC-machined stainless steel rod ends, allowing precise suspension alignment without relying on T-bolt slider adjusters. Oversized serviceable ball joints, forged steel spindles, built-in anti-dive and a solid sway bar complete a suspension system engineered for modern road use and serious performance.

The front clip also offers extensive brake, steering and suspension upgrades, including power rack & pinion steering, Wilwood ProSpindles, RideTech and Aldan adjustable Coilovers, and Wilwood brake packages ranging through large 6-piston and AERO6 systems.

Built for LS, LT & Modern Drivetrain Swaps

Building an LS-swapped 1962-1967 Nova? Modern horsepower deserves modern suspension underneath it. Scott’s can configure your Chevy II / Nova Front Clip with engine mounts for popular Small-Block Chevy, Big-Block Chevy, LS and LT engines, giving builders the ability to design the front suspension and drivetrain package around the finished car from the beginning.

Whether you’re building a mild street cruiser or a high-horsepower LS/LT Nova restomod, replacing the original front structure provides a clean foundation for the modern drivetrain while adding rack & pinion steering, modern suspension geometry and available performance brakes at the same time.
