Looking for Pre 1960 Ford NHRA specs

DarrellCiaravino · 01-04-2021, 08:27 PM

We are looking for NHRA Stock Eliminator specs for a 1957 Ford 312. We are considering putting something together to Association race Stock Eliminator and want to be reasonably authentic. We will also local bracket race.
We are considering a 312 245hp in a 1957 sedan custom. It is hard to find info about pre 1960 Ford Stock Eliminator specs, any info or links to information sites would be appreciated. Thanks, Louis Jeffery Louis72@comcast.net.

If you want to Class race in an NHRA event, the car must be listed in the Stock Car Classification Guide. Nothing older than 1960 for Ford. I have pdf copies of 1958 and 1959 NHRA rule books. They aren't like the 60 and later books. More of a general description of a Stock Car with classes by a weight to advertised HP formula. I can email them to you if you want. The full collection is from 1958 to 1968. I got them through a model car builders forum.

Although the 57 Ford was a car seen in Stock in the 60s and early 70s, I have to think since there are no Ford combinations earlier than 1960 shown in the classification guide, NHRA must have deleted whatever information that they used to allow for the 50s Fords. Otherwise, who knows, my 428CJ powered 59 Ford 2 door sedan could have been a SS/GT car!

Thank you for the responses, Dale, I would appreciate it if you could email me that data. I Clearly understand pre 60 combos or combos Not listed are not allowed to compete in NHRA, This will be a Stocker tribute to race at Stock - Superstock association races. Thanks, again.
