Re: Aftermarket/Replacement Cylinder Head Rule Change
 
I think for stock the rules should be changed so any casting can be used as long as they have all the same volumes, valve sizes, and valve arrangements. We are there anyway why only allow some manufacturers and people to get replacement parts. Go to a SS cylinder head rule
for stock and be done with it. All the replacement head deal does is give select few racers an economic and performance advantage over the rest.
One more thing, all the guys crying that the new cars are not real stockers are wrong. They all have the parts they were designed with and run them.
How many original parts are in a 396/375? or a Plymouth 340 with aluminum heads and intake? Not many I’m sure. It’s getting stupid, nobody with a SBC can’t find parts?

You really think that all the new cars are running the parts that came in them? I would bet that all the fast cars are running aftermarket rods pistons cams and tweaked heads just like all the old cars.

Pontiac doesn't need another approved head. Pontiac guys just need to do their homework. And as of now I read, the Edelbrock Pontiac is approved for Stock. Hesus.......what a bunch of whining no-nothing racers. I fought (voted) against the Super Stock Pontiac E-head every time NHRA asked me. But after 15 years the whiners prevailed. And now Stock? You're shameful.

I guess you haven’t seen any of those engines apart? Well I have, and those engines come with good stuff already. They are much closer to the way they came from the factories then the older cars that are getting aluminum replacement for the hard to find iron heads.

Coming from a guy that has never built anything for class racing on his own. Build something on your own, and race against cars that have these parts and let’s see how you do. We will never see that so your statement like yourself is irrelevant.....Next
