No 9" fords in any GM CM car. Now I do agree that the CM cars should have a engine combo that is close to what was avail in that body style. IE 350 in camaro etc. But for you NHRA elitists that turn your nose down at these cars stop and take a min to look at one and see what they are all about. Bash on
I don't think I ever implied that these cars were running 10's off the showroom floor. Only that they were available with the engine/trans combo that is in the race car that runs 10's with stock parts. Thats the difference between a real stocker and a bracket car. Stock is part muscle car show, and should stay that way. Throwing whatever engine you please into whatever body you have is a bracket car, no matter how nice its built.
