Adger, I have already talked with Kevin and the LS engine is OK. He tells me any door car or pick up that is 1979 or older is OK. I like your roadster idea.

Adger, Kevin explained to me that they relaxed the engine requirements in an effort to make it more reasonable to build a car. They are allowing the index to be the governor.

Adger, we did not specifically talk about this, but I expect, since it is basically a no electronics class, the LS or any engine will need to be carb or mechanical injection with distributor or mag.

I don't know the rules for the classes, but I'll make a assumption no electronics would be delay boxes,throttle stops etc. Not engine mgnt systems.

Larry the way the class is structured I think your assumption about FI and Electronic ignition would be correct. It would not be in the spirits of the old Modified production. I've got an old Accel BEI ignition and cable drive tach I'm going to use.
Larry, I've even got an old set of Lee Shepherd Iron V-6 heads. I might show up with a V-6.
