If someone wanted to run a non-drag Pak Challenger or charger, would it fit/be permitted in an existent class? What about a V6 charger? Gen 3 Hemi swapped 70s car (this one may be an obvious SOL but I keep thinking about the v8 rwd cobalts) Sorry if these are dumb ? but the US Nationals had me curious.

I'm not that interested in anything other than Stock and Super Stock or I'd look it up. July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P. Jimmie.

You can only run vehicles that are listed in the classification guide. https://www.nhraracer.com/content/general.asp?articleid=46635&zoneid=132 68 Satellite, 383 with stock 906’s, 3550lbs, 11.18@123 Dealer for Comp Cams/Indy Heads

However, some of the engine swaps may be legal to compete in super stock GT classes. The best way to find what is and what is not is to call NHRA for clarification, BUT...if you are planning on building a GT class car, make sure you get that approval in writting, not that it'll hold up but at least you have some proof down the road. Last but not least, study the rules for those classes very carefully and over-look nothing... Last edited by blue_stocker; 09/01/22 10:09 PM.

Dwight Sutherland has built a great tool for class racers. And of course for a stocker it has to be in the guide PERIOD.
