I hope this post started with a 55 gallon drum since everyone is taking a piss in it. There are several posts from Dan Fahey about Pure Stock. Lots of pissing and moaning about the class entering NHRA.. And boy, these comments seems to be calling for that class.

jim mantle .... turbo glide has two planetaries and a direct drive .... how could it not be 3 speed .... low gearset was billed as GRADE RETARD for going downhill , hence the GR on the shift plate...

also had the twin convertor ....
my dad said its downfall was pumps inability to maintain enough pressure to keep slippage down so they were junk after 30-40,000 miles

Stock became Super Stock without the unlimited high lift cam!
Todays Stocker run quicker and faster than yesterday’s Super Stockers with less lift!

I'm alright with the intake and it actual effected me personally. But try and remember that money was wasted here. As my Dad always told me. "If you have nothing good to say. Keep it to yourself."

Opening a can of worms...:D

With the current camshafts in used, there is no way the valves will clear the piston dome. Many years ago, in the 1900's, a racer asked me to stop by his home to check why his new Crane Cams Stocker cam would not clear his pistons.
He believed he was doing something wrong. After checking the cam, the cam was not the problem; it was the piston domes. After making a few phone calls, I learned many were having their pistons flycut to be able to run the cams.
Having compared the current approved pistons versus the original, and they are very different. I assume someone may have sent a modified piston to NHRA to get approval of the alternate approved pistons.

Huh, that's weird, because a friend of mine used to run the approved TRW L2242F30 pistons with a Lunati stocker cam and no issues. This would have been back in the early to mid 1980's. They had unmodified top domes and his heads were the #840 castings IIRC.

In the mid 1980's they still checked duration and overlap. After changing the rules allowing any duration and overlap, everything changed. The lobes, duration and overlap changed.
