I am going to build a 5.7 for GT and can offer the following. I have been told by NHRA that if an engine has fresh air (scoop) in its normal class then it has to be used in a fresh air car in GT. The opposite is also true, a non fresh air car can't be used in a fresh air car. So the Drag Pak engines in GT has to be in a scooped car such as a 68 hemi Cuda or Dart. Since the rule book says that the GT truck class has the same rules as the GT car rules with the exceptions listed in the GT truck section it would look like the Drag Pak is not legal in a truck. Don't know of any truck with fresh air. I'm using a 68 AH type Cuda.




Do some more research. Neither Mark Nowicki and his Avenger nor the '70 Duster that is run out of the Teuton stable have fresh air scoops. They both have the 5.9 Magnum Drag Pak engines in SS/GT. I know of other non-air combos being built also.
