What class would a 64 Savoy with 415 hp engine, auto and steel front end fit into? Has anyone tried any of the latest Max Wedge Head offerings from Mopar performance? What other cars would you be competeing with?

Looks like a natural A/SA to me. Drop to B/SA with weight. See the attached classification guide.

Looks like 135# would put it at the top of B/SA.

You'll want to stay out of A/SA because of all the new Mustangs and Challengers that are not factored right. They are way fast and in a heads up race it would be tough to outrun them.

If you have the car a 426 Street Wedge is a decent package. As stated above AA, A, & B are real Hornet nests right now. The late MP 518 heads are not real good. They need a lot of work to get them to work. Better pff finding the hens teeth that are the real McCoy. One more note the Stage 3 intake is better than the early ones too. More Hens teeth to find.

You can buy the scoop in aluminum or steel but it is a all or none deal with NHRA. To run the scoop you have to run the aluminum fenders and hood.

Can run a scoop only with single 4bbl Nascar Hemi and only the steel front.

I may be wrong but I think the scooped alum front end is a super stock designated item only. Not legal for stock. I believe the package was only available with 425 hp.

I believe thats definetly right for 63. I know Plymouth built 1196 Max Wedge cars in 63 and only 40 were the aluminum front end cars. And as you said they were all 425 hp engines and in the Savoy only from what I remember. Now in 64 only 245 Plymoth Max Wedge and Hemi cars were built. I believe it was 155 Maxie cars and 90 Hemi cars. Dont remember how many were aluminum cars. Ron

What I dont know is the rules when it has the aluminum nose and scoop ?? Seems most in Stock are steel nose no scoop cars. I believe they built 145 Max Wedge 64 Plymouth's and about 100 were aluminum nose cars so I thought most would run the scoop. Or does it have to have the aluminum front end to use the scoop ?? Ron
The last time I saw a complete aluminum nose for a 1964 Plymouth (fenders, hood and scoop to make it legal for Stock or SS), the price was about $20k. NHRA should look at equivalent weight replacement fiberglass parts as a cost savings for racers. Or, at least allow a fiberglass hood and scoop and make them run steel fenders. It appears to me that NHRA doesn't want anyone to run the light weight package.
I'd try to contact John Shaul in NY about that combo. I think he's the fastest MW car out there in Stock. He did a set of carbs that I bought from Bogner several years ago.
Seeing that the price of aluminum has went up so much I thought you should know what AMD is up to..

It's time we lobby AMD!
