Guys, I wish I had a tape measure with me . That Intake has to be a foot tall and that's not the only "SPECIAL" piece in that engine...very impressive, it's going to be very competitive with cobra jets...Luke

Should they have their own class then?

Modified Stock?

It really isn't fair to throw them in the mix with the cars that have been sorted out and know where they stand.

Or, should we just let the AHFS sort it out?

That hood looks like it has the new scoop on it (probably why it has no paint)....NHRA didn't like the original scoop that Mopar had on them and made them change it for certification.....

RX Dealer,

Did one of the CJ's head south today? I was on the interstate north of Springfield IL and our route went over I-55 and I could have sworn I saw on of the CJ's on an open trailer heading south. The hood scoop was noticeably forward, not centered or to the rear.

If it was, that was my first sighting.

What makes you say that? A GM LS motor reminds me of a FE ford. I think they even use the same amount of head bolts. Last time I checked you couldn't look through the intake port of a GM and see your shoe on the ground like a HEMI! I also get a kick out of GM using crossbolts on the mains like FORD and CHRYSLER do and did 45 years ago! I guess its a good design. Shawn
