Competition for the Blown Fords & V10 Mopars and the Bow Tie
 

1964-65 Lightweight B bodies with the 2 4bbl hemi @ 450 hp. 7.11, 7.36, & low 7.50 factor I think. Should add some interest. Doesn't say which manifold, the original alm and magnesium, or the Mopar Performance replacement. Should be interesting. I kinda thought the 68's might get some play, but nothing yet.

Jeff, Just wondering if the 64-65 Hemi posting @450hp, is this for Stk ? or SS?...John ! Any changes fot the 1-4bbl hemi ?

Re: Competition for the Blown Fords & V10 Mopars and the Bow
 

John, it says stock, and it's effective 1/1/12 so that is new.

What is the HP and class for the '64 Savoy with single 4bbl Hemi and what happens to the class when you put a 2x4 induction on it?
I have to imagine it gets a cross-ram, either OEM or MOPAR. I know of at least on single 4bbl racer that will jump right in. Heck, it's more legal now with a 2x4 than that 1x4!

"more legal"
Is that anything like being "more pregnant"???

Isn't it either legal, or it's not???

Jeff,
Has NHRA started to accept fiberglass and lexan for lightweight cars yet like IHRA does?

It'll still make, at it's absolute best, over 100 hp less than the supercharged cars.

Regardless, it will be cool to see some of those combos running.

Re: Competition for the Blown Fords & V10 Mopars and the Bow
 

no and i do not think they should. that is part of the mystique of those cars.

Re: Competition for the Blown Fords & V10 Mopars and the Bow
 

Actually Bill, NOTHING is legal when it comes to the NHRA. Back when I was doing our ads for National Dragster I used the phrase "NHRA legal .134 wall tubing". I quickly got a call from the my rep telling me the word "legal" awas a no-no. Apparently legal involves laws and lawyers. The NHRA does not make laws, they make rules and rules are either "accepted or not accepted. Still makes me laugh to this day!

The single is 430, so 20 for 2 X 4, plus a cross ram vs. a dual plane. Two 770's vs 1 850

Did you know the real NASCAR 426 ran a 950 cfm? It was the 3 barrel a real NASCAR intake had a notch in the rear for the throttle blade to clear at wot.

Re: Competition for the Blown Fords & V10 Mopars and the Bow
 

I believe NHRA allows the 3v but you can use the 4v 850DP as an alternative.

Re: Competition for the Blown Fords & V10 Mopars and the Bow
 

Actually the Hp rating is 440 for the automatic, and 430 for stick cars. The NASCAR 3-bbl 950 carb has not been legalized, but the three bbl manifold that was modified for it's use has been legal for over 4 years. The carb was not approved because " it was a NASCAR only carb". Not sure I follow the logic since this is an approved NASCAR engine.

Re: Competition for the Blown Fords & V10 Mopars and the Bow
 

Well this gives me one reason to join NHRA again. Not that I can run anywhere close to a good A/SA car but at least I wont have to change the carb and intake if I want to run a NHRA race.
I wonder why they didn't include the 117in wheelbase cars in this change. I'll have to hack the crap out of my wheel wells to shorten it up another inch.
