I have to move to ss gt correct for nhra ?

Re: what engine combo fwd conversion mopar
 

that would be correct, a good engine choice would be a 318 4 barrel. PM me for more info

318/4 is the hot ticket......My youngest boy Jon Jr.has a Superstock Aspen and work on a pretty modest budget and has been .7 plus under in bracket mode.

Either big or small valve head works well.

It is a little higher HP in GT but not much and he runs that sometimes.

As GTX John indicated it's quite doable but with a nose heavy car be prepared to back half for a big tire and of course a good cage is necessary. Ken Etter's Shadow, Mike Volkman, Tom Sheehan are good examples of good running 318 Super Stockers. Just be aware that when stepping up to SS be prepared to spend $$$. You probably need to register for Dwight Sutherland's great classracerinfo (sticky on the forum) to find all the possibilities.

Jim,
This car he is talking about is our Avenger. We have run as quick as 10.18 with it. Car is a ladder bar car with a 10.5 Radial. Car has never had an issue with spin. Don't necessarily need to tub with a 318 combo unless you want to. PK Race cars did an excellent job building the Avenger. Oh, and the 10.18 was at National Trail at Beards S/SS Class Nationals.

Wow, very impressive Jeff. Thought you sold that one several years ago, hard to keep up with the Ross fleet or the Irving’s. LOL
