Ed....do you REALLY think stock and S/S will last that long the way its going ?

I think that the engines that are introduced for Stock, NHRA should put the rating at 1.25 HP per cubic inch. Let them race off the HP rather then race to put on HP.

The Ford 352 is a totally different story, it should be taken out of Stock due to it being a "piece together" engine from a parts catalog. The 352 was never introduced in a production car and can't be purchased as a crate engine either, try looking for it on Ford's web page. It's not there!
