55-57 Stockers?

[Frank Castros]

I appreciate these cars and would like to see more of them in Stock Eliminator and agree that the factors should be reviewed and adjusted downward.
With the new cars (CJ,DP&COPO) making a huge impact, all of the older factors need serious review to balance the playing field.
The Indy qualifying sheet should be interesting.

nhra can start by giving the 283's the same intake they gave wade owens and all 64-67 283's...(the rare 327 - 459) seems like discrimination

I agree...

Does anybody remember if the 459 was a replacement back in the Jr. Stock days, because I have Kyle Marshalls 57 Delivery and thats the manifold it has on it.

The 459 manifold is only good for 65 and 66 chevy 283 's

Jack, just so the new people understand. That intake was made legal long before I built my Stocker. I simply took what they gave me and everyone else who wanted to build a 4bbl 283 for those years. You know, including things like hoods, roller rockers, alum intakes, rods, deck heights, Edelbrock heads and now 3spd transmissions that werent originally available for a certain combo. I know you know, but the post reads like it was changed for me. I dont think I have that much clout....

I for one believe Stock Eliminator has never been more exciting and marketable with the old and new cars, and the young people today will embrace it.
LODRS and National events can be marketed by promoting today's muscle cars vs yesterday's.
Agree?
