" What most people think of as corporate motors is not the NHRA definition. The NHRA view is that any motor allowed as long as it is from the same manufacturer. So you could use...any GM motor in any allowable GM car body..."
This is the way I've always thought it was.
"...The fender vents on a T/A help relieve the warm air buildup under the hood. Stand next to mine on a hot night and you will feel the heat pour out while the car idles. With the car in motion, I am pretty sure it will help move the air out from under the hood. That is why Pontiac called them air extractors. All the items Pontiac hung on the T/A had a purpose..."
Yeah, that all makes sense. So, if that is correct, the T/A fenders should make at least a slight improvement in ET, over the non vented fenders. So, it makes sense to run 'em if NHRA will allow it. I suppose that's what you'd call a "no-brainer". Run the quickest combo you can, that will pass tech.
"...I heard that Tommy replaced his Pontiac 350 with a Chevy 350..."
Yeah, I saw that.
"... I ended up going through and updating the car including replacing the 400 6x motor with a SD455 from Don Kennedy..."
So, have you raced it yet ? Still racing it ? Results? What division are(or were) you in. Sorry for all the questions ! But I am just not familiar with your name.
Thanks for sharing all this info.
Since starting the Pontiac Stock & SS threads, I've learned the name of a lot of Pontiac racers I'd never heard of. So, I'd like to know your history of racing Pontiac powered cars.
Note: If you'd prefer NOT to put all your info on this thread, please feel free to converse with me by Email:
