Re: New guy wants to go super stock racing
Unfortunately, the combo doesn't look competitive or legal in any Stock or SS class.
* Engine size and fiberglass hood not legal for "regular" SS.
* Current cubic inches would make it much heavier for SS/BM
* 727 trans. and hydraulic cam are big disadvantages.
* Although some combos can be made to hook on small tires, they are likely a disadvantage also.
* SS/BM indexes: 1/4 mile - 9.70, 1/8 mile - 6.30
* A legal 340 SS/JA combo, which includes a steel hood, I believe has to weigh 3,261 lbs race weight with the following indexes: 1/4 mile 11.30, 1/8 mile - 7.30.
A crate motor Stock combo has to follow the specs from the IHRA "accepted list" which includes specific 360 Commando and Magnum engines. I think it would be difficult to get an out-of-the-box crate motor to run its repective index. Spring location would have to be confirmed with IHRA tech to be on the safe side.
