I agree on the prue stock deal if you live close to an IHRA track. That's the way I got dad started the we built him a "real" stocker. As far as pure stock goes the 87-93 5.0 mustangs are EASY!

Looks like it's heading that way, although the crate motor class may be easier.
Still working on it. Really don't want to run a late model mustang but i can see were it would be easy.
Really need to sit down and understand the rules, we have a pro am coming to Pinevalley in June I think. My set up the Bracket car for Super street and see what its all about?
Thanks for the info

Thanks for all the input, Sorry no reply been busy traveling,
Found a 73 duster, 1 owner very clean has been sitting up for a while, still has the build sheet behind the seat.
It has a slant 6 and a factory 4 speed, been looking at the car for a while and final caught someone home. he is willing to part with it though.
Not really a mopar fan, have always built chevy's and a few fords, but wonder if this car will fit a class that is less demanding?
like the body style, don't know if the 6 would be worth the trouble?
Like to olds that's not a bad price, i sent out some e-mails out about the late model nova, no replys yet, seems like it ran 1.5 over the number,
Anyway still working on it, sounds like the pure-stock may be the way to go. May go with the 68 camaro anyway, at least its sitting in the shop..
Thanks again.

The Duster would be a good choice for pure stock run as a 74 with the 360/904. The engine rules are as NHRA stock eliminator was in the early 80's before it got out of hand. You can take an additional 10 hp off as you would be using the factory 904 trans. Also, the cam duration specs are quite generous, and the combo will easily run way under the index.

OK, purchase the duster, pull the 6, replace with a 360, got that much, is the 904 the stock 4 speed or an auto(Sorry I know my chevy parts but not a dang thing about mopar).
As stated before The rules are a little hard to understand, what is needed to change year models, just state it to be a 74 or is there badges etc.. to be changed?
Thanks

I'm having a 87 Camaro built for Stock Elim.
Yes, it's expensive to start from scratch, trust me on that one, But I personally
think, You know what you have & everything is NEW.....
I didn't have 15-25 thousand up front either, so little at a time you build & you know
what you have.

I do agree with the other guys to do a crate motor if your going to run IHRA
or Pure Stock is something to consider.

The main thing is to" Keep It Fun "................
