Replacing the 2v and move up a few classes.
Maybe Crate Motor was not the best way to start the conversation.
My intent was to consider doable combinations, or upgrade.
Still would have to meet all the other Pure Stock rules.
The advantage you already have existing engine data.
Plus how it would perform.
Would not want to see BB put into a car that came with a SB.
For example always thought Ford lost an opportunity to put a 4v on the Mavericks and Mustang II's.
Think it would be interesting installing a Corvette Triple or Dual Carb on a 350/255 using a stock PS cam.
A 409/425 in a 1969 Chevy...!!
Has to meet Pure Stock cam rules.
It would make things look interesting to the public who like to look at our rides.

Dan,
I like the idea. Sounds a little like the old Formula Stock classes of AHRA/IHRA some 35-40 years ago. You could put different combinations of engines or transmissions in cars that never came with them.
I remember Bunker Hill here in Indiana had a series of classes that allowed you to change intakes and carburetors on stock engines. This was in the early 70's. Guys got carried away with cam changes and such. Was hard to police.
Like the proposal for a watered down version of the old Super Modified class that was bandied about here last year. It would have to be done at a local level. NHRA isn't going to add more classes. IHRA already has a bunch.
