It is just like building a regular stocker except you are using a different motor. All the same specs apply as far as part#s, just they are for the motor you are running.

Duane Eiskantt II runs a stock/gt Mustang. He regularly posts on this forum. He could answer some of your questions. You could also go to an IHRA race and talk to Hank Blankenship from IHRA.

after rereading I did understand what I was talking about My question is why are there so few GT Stock cars ? I see alot of GT SS but no stock anyone know why?

GT SS cars are eligible to run in NHRA & IHRA.
GT stockers are an IHRA only deal and therefore are less popular.
Neat concept, but NHRA didn't buy into it.

IF you are going to run IHRA only I think stock GT is the way to go. your 85-90 camaro is a good body to use just remember the engine need to be older then 80. as for the rest ..you just take the shipping weight with small block & the Hp of the engine you want to run & divide to get the class it fits ..........what engine are you looking to run?

NHRA never adopted the GT Stock Class rule due to some racers asking NHRA to allow FWD conversions in the class.

I ran a powerglide with my 350 combo in a 86 trans am(s\gtb) and i changed to a turbo 350 it leaves alot better, It's a learning game to see what works with you car and combo.
