is there any difference in piston configuration required by NHRA from 67 to 70 for example,.

I was previously running the CJ 428 iron head combo in a 1970 Cougar in SS/HA

Thanks
You have to look at the NHRA Accepted Products List for the appropriate parts. There is no NHRA approved Winberg crankshaft for the 427 FE and there is no Manley approved connecting rods for the Ford FE engines either.

The pistons have the same compression height and are flat with notches from 1967 to 1969. The only approved Edelbrock cylinder heads are P/N 60058 (Stock and Super Stock) and P/N 61857 (Super Stock only).
