Quote: This would also apply to a Mopar in the case of a 340 Restoration block which is a heavier duty casting (like 50lbs heavier too!). The casting number is correct/vintage but the sides of the block castings don't look the same in many areas. Or how about the guys running a mixture of correct and incorrect carburetors, head castings, and exhaust manifolds for the year/model car they run. Lot's of "Grey" in how the current FAST rules are interpreted or enforced.
I would not say it does, but it may, the Hemi guys got the new block and heads........ but that is also written right in the rules...
Chevy guys do not get bowtie blocks.
Scott... I thought the cars were not teched hard until they ran 11.70, are you talking about cars that are faster than that ???
Hemi guys get the new blocks , ONLY the water blocks which are HEAVIER than stock , same for the heads and as far as i know no one is running the new heads because of the extra weight , which i believe is about DOUBLE .... and the reason why is you won't get many takers paying the RANSOME ORIGINAL Hemi blocks COMMAND .
Big block chevy bowtie , raised decks ??? Aren't they ONLY siamese bore ?
The rule was as soon as you run an 11.70 things get strict , I wonder if that will relax some now that to be competitive you need to run better than 11.teens , soon better than 11.00 ???
