So i checked the IHRA rule book and not much info there, on this web site i did a search for pure stock and i got 2 pages of results ( i read every post) still not enough to answer my questions,I know what needs to be done and not done to the motor for pure stock but what about the car? here is what i have for a car!
My car has a stock interior with a 6 point roll bar,the IRS rear with some heavy duty old school upgrades (not strong enough for stock but should be fine for pure stock) It has one of those shark bar traction bars,it has headers with a full exhaust and flow master mufflers,it has stock brakes, tach and gauges and a quarter stick shifter (with no console the factory console has been removed) here is where I'm concerned the heater box and blower motor have been removed with sheet metal over the holes,the wiper motor and linkage have also been removed along with the wiper arms and blades! question is would IHRA make me put the heater box and wiper stuff back for pure stock or is it basically like stock eliminator cars with factory water pumps ,exhaust system and a milder motor? Thanks for your time .....Fred

Hi Fred
I do not think IHRA will be too concerned about the Heater.
Just have to have all things to make it safe.
Stock Seat and Shoulder belt.
Got any questions ping me Or email Mike Baker.
