Crate Engine vs Modifying Existing Engine

Travis Miller · 10-28-2009, 06:23 AM

As stated earlier in this thread, NHRA does not have a Crate Motor class. By looking at Nitro Joe Stats we can see a few of the later model 4.6L and 5.0L Mustangs running in the following classes:

P/SA 1989 Mustang -0.87 under index
O/SA 1989 Mustang -0.80
O/SA 1998 Mustang -0.96
N/SA 1996 Mustang -0.96
M/SA 1988 Mustang -1.13

O/S 1985 Mustang -1.36
N/S 1985 Mustang -1.17
M/S 1985 Mustang -1.05
J/S 1995 Mustang -0.92
H/S 1993 Mustang -1.22

These are just a sampling of the many available combinations for Mustangs. Good luck with whatever car you build.
