SS/GT question
Is there a place, in GT categories, where you could run a newer , late model FI engine, in say, for instance, an 84 Cutlass ? Just wunderin'

Re: SS/GT question
The factory hot rod motors - CJ, COPO, DragPak - are restricted to 08 or later bodies. Other than that I think "any engine same make as body, year optional" means just that. I've seen 55 Chevy's in GT with late model LS motors. At least on TV broadcasts of NHRA events.

You can put any corporate engine you want in your car and run GT. You can run an earlier or later model engine as long as it is in the guide. |

Question: with all these alphabet soup classes, how do they handle class runoffs with single cars nowadays?

On the flip side.... Anyone ever hear of a SS/GT racer using a '08-'16 Factory Stock body (or clone of one) and using a 2007 and older engine ? |

Thanks All !

Re: SS/GT question
OK Kenny
I know that is not a random question. Spill the beans. What's the plan? |
Re: SS/GT question
It might be hard to put one of those FS engines in an older car, without a big change to the intake manifold .

Re: SS/GT question
New body (08 up) with matching motor FSS/something. New Body old motor FGT/something. New motor old body FGT/something New body/new motor/different years FGT/something. Smaller the motor, the more screwin you get because there is no stick/auto in the FSS and FGT arena and NHRA used the stick factor and in the lower FSS and FGT classes, the difference is as much as .25 and that's a lot. If you goin that way, use the new high horsepower stuff. Using an old motor in a new car probably won't work well. This applies to DP, Copo and CJ bodies/engines. Showroom stuff is SS and GT.
