Ford is being allowed to submit two different heads. One mirror image and one symetrical. So the GM guys and Dodge teams can choose a head like they already have and hit the ground with their feet running. Saw the mirror heads and they look just like the Hemi99. Plugs even in the same location. Larry Morgan helped out with those. What tees me off is that when the Hemi99 came out Chrysler wanted to keep a canted head on the books too until the Hemi took off. NHRA said no way one head only. I guess Force and Ford have all the pull in NHRA racing now.

NHRA didn't say no way, it was Chrysler that insisted on the "Hemi" head being the only one allowed. Propably because in the beginning the old heads were running better than the new "Hemi".

The bearings are rather thick. And the blocks are very low, propably around 9" deck height.

Although it would be nice to see him remain in a Mopar, and I do hope he does, it really doesn't matter much anymore. NHRA "Championship" Drag Racing has drifted so far away from the sport I grew to love in the sixties that I really don't care much. The gulf between what they do, and what so many of us geezer and grassroots racers do has grown so wide that I usually don't even pay attention to it anymore. Except for AJ (I do watch him, if I'm around), I really couldn't name a lot of the guys on the "circuit". My real interest in NHRA racing pretty much ends at the SS/AH cars. Indy was more entertaining to me this year because of the Hemi shootout and keeping track of how the new Drag Pak Challengers were doing. The rest of it...

Actually it was Chrysler that removed approval for the Wedge heads, because Allen had no factory sponsorship at the time, and was beating up on the factory sponsored hemi cars. NHRA had nothing at all to do with it.
Don't forget that wedge was nothing more than an Eicke Olds head with some bolt holes moved around.
Speaking of...anyone know what ever happened to Dale and Caren Eicke?

Talked with Johnny this weekend in Dallas. He will be running a GM car next year. He would have stayed MOPAR if AJ would have given him adequate power all year. The motor he has now is out of AJ's car from a few races back. He is currently building an allout race shop in North Carolina. Also said his son will be behind the wheel of a prostock car as well.

All aluminum R4/P5 engine, Proformance TH400 (3 speed) tranny, full Reid case, nodular 9" rearend, full Dragpak suspension, Protorque custom converter, BS3, PTE 85mm turbo, fire core wires, carbon doors, carbon front clip, and a whole lot more!

Got a question that maybe somebody can answer.What is with these guys who run a pro stock Hemi under engine builders like Roy Johnson and Larry Morgan and then leave to open up there own engine shops using GM engines and cars like Gray and Jones? Is the pro stock hemi junk or is the gm stuff that good? And with gm sucking wind an having a very short supply of pro stock engine parts,Why switch now! Yes i know Mopar is sucking wind also but arent there any real mopar guys out there anymore other than the johnsons? It sure seems as if we will never see another pro stock championship from a mopar ever again with everyone building gm cars.
