Actually, the classes themselves were created to stop all the crying. The cars came first...

Here's another one:


"Aluminum
center section permitted only on vehicles that were originally
equipped with same."


In other words, a "stock" CJ II center section is not allowed in another Ford CJ 1

More...

"Porting, polishing, welding, epoxying and acid-porting prohibited.
Combustion-chamber modifications prohibited. "

I don't see where CNC porting is allowed

I guess the argument has now turned to interpreting the rules?

Every turn-key late model factory car came with a 9" rear and aluminum center section. The 2008-up rule came when racers started converting the factory cars to their production version around 2015.

Factory ported heads were in the guide before 2008.

You are correct there, and there's more that they didn't have to change back from the COPOs
