cross breading of engines in Stock and/or Super Stock

[jmcarter]

Easy peasy...use Dwight Sutherland's great tool...link here. Select the year/make/model of car and then select one of the weight/power values and it will then let pick "GT Class" and select the engine...you then have the potential classes to pick from.

Thanks for the help guys!!

One last question: I was looking at the Stock class rules years ago (I was always a foxbody guy) and I saw the success that Evan Smith had with his MM&FF Project Stocker. I recall that rotating assemblies had to come from an approved list as well as ported stock cyl head castings were illegal.

Would this apply in the GT classes?

My cyl heads are heavily ported, oversized valves, custom cams, aftermarket pistons and rods,etc.....

Thanks again!

Nope, the GT classes are Superstock classes, so porting, polishing, any cam and valvetrain, etc. Still gonna need the rule book for the specifics. I'm a foxbody guy too!

Don't think there is any chance your combo will fit into a GT class. You need to meet stock port volumes, stock type configuration pistons and standard valve sizes just to begin with. Maybe a SS modified class, SS/AM or SS/AS ?

The other issue would be the chassis, I am thinking that you had to do some pretty extensive mods to make a Coyote engine fit in a '66 Mustang chassis. The towers and suspension components have to be dimensionally stock. That would be a no go also.

Good thinking Jim, There's no way that coyote fit in the engine bay without getting rid of the shock towers and suspension and that is a big no no!!

You are correct. There are no shock towers. The front end is a compete Rod & Custom Motorsports kit..

So it looks like any of the stock classes will be a no-go for me? I suspected as much, but thought I'd ask the experts.

Looks like it will be Super Gas or Super Street then....

Thanks for everyone's help!!
