The SS was transformed from a trim package to a performance option for 1968 and now included a {{convert|295|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} {{convert|350|CID|L|abbr=on}} V8 engine along with 
front disc brakes,a heavy-duty suspension and other performance hardware. Front disc brakes were optional on the 1968 Nova SS. Optional engines included two versions of the big-block {{convert|396|CID|L|abbr=on}} V8 rated at {{convert|350|hp|kW|abbr=on}} and {{convert|375|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}. Both engines were offered with a choice of transmissions including the M-21 close-ratio four-speed manual, the M-22 heavy-duty "Rock Crusher" four-speed [[Manual transmission|manual]], or the three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic 400 for those who preferred automatic shifting.

===1969===

(contracted; show full)uretor that came standard with the SS option was revised with a {{convert|5|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} increase to {{convert|300|hp|kW|-1|abbr=on}} while a two-barrel carbureted version of the {{convert|350|CID|L|abbr=on}} V8 rated at {{convert|255|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} was a new option on non-SS models. A new Turbo-Hydramatic 350 three-speed automatic was made available for non-SS Novas with six-cylinder and V8 engines, although the older two-speed [[Powerglide]] continued to be available on the smaller engined Novas.
 1969 SS models were the first Nova SS models to have standard front disc brakes.

===1970===

Basically a carryover from 1969; the side markers and taillight lenses for the 1970 Nova were wider and positioned slightly differently. This was the final year for the SS396. All other engines were carried over including the seldom-ordered four-cylinder which was in its final year. The car finally became simply the Chevrolet Nova this year after two years of transitional nameplates (Chevy II Nova in 1968 and Chevrolet Chevy Nova in 1969)
