Older Superstock GT cars with scoops

Dave, Are the race only Cudas (with all the trick parts)legal with another motor as a GT class car then?

The 68 AH car has been running for months as a SS/GT car so that should answer your question. James Hale has his running as a SSGT/EA. Yes, with all the "trick" parts. Even been pictured on this site thru a link.

Dave
What are you refering to as a 68 Cuda GT? Don't remember that one . All I remember is the Barracuda, the Formula S Barracuda and the Race Hemi.

Stewart and Dick,
I was refering to the figures in post# 56 in this thread . I meant the S model but have no idea why I typed GT. I am reserving any more answers on this matter as the very subject here is being discussed within . This situation has caused a few questions for us " Tech Inspectors" that need to be addressed after the holidays.

A couple if items in this discussion. A 68 Cuda with a 70 383/300 in GT/E (10.00 lbs per hp) or a 70 Cuda in SS/IA with same motor 10.00 lbs per hp. The 70 runs SS/IA Index 11.00 The 68 runs GT/EA Index 10.95. Now class let us observe the same two cars, but with a 440/356 motor. The 70 runs SS/HA Index 10.90 and the 68 runs GT/DA Index 10.80 index. Any penalty is already applied for a better body (???) in GT as was the original intent. I think there was a .05 +/- in the original caluclations years ago. The original intent was to compensate for 'slicker' bodies. The addition of the older cars just makes the class more versatile. I knew I was running a penalty when I started the process. But before I spent a dime, I checked with Div 4 Tech to make sure the car was ok for SS GT. And as for some SS/AH guys bailing out, I'm sure that will happen. Mother Chrysler has more on her mind now than Hemi Shoot Outs. I don't know if anyone works at MP anymore. If they pull, that will certainly hurt the shoot outs. As for us we will probably have one shoot out car this year, one bracket car, and a backup. I don't know if we will try 3 in the shootouts this year, but then again it is early.
