Where on earth did you get the impression that NHRA requires stock gear ratios? I am not aware of that ever being the case. Now, I`m not a MoPar guy, but as I recall, to get bucket seats in a 66 Dodge Coronet, you needed to have a 500 model, the base & 440 models all had bench seats as I recall. Maybe you best buy a current NHRA rule book, and get yourself "up to speed" on what is & isn`t allowed in Stock Eliminator.
