Hi Rick. Yes, a car that is a natural E car can run D and F legally. Is your Olds similar to the Stephenson family's car? It's killer fast, holds the DF/S NHRA record at 14.72. Pics can be found at http://www.autoimagery.com/store/cgi...ole+Stephenson
Mine is a .422 cam. I bought my car from Tom Kasch in Ohio in 2006 (Stephenson's Olds is a former Kasch car as well). It's a neat car, power everything, even seats. All leather interior and a sunroof to boot. Both the car and myself need to go on a diet (myself more so LOL), as it weighs about 3500 pounds, a hundred over the DF/S-EF/SA minimum weight.

hey mike. funny you mention stephanie, i have a black and white picture of her car hanging in my living room. actually i have a bunch of stockers black and white pictures in frames hanging on my walls. copied all from here and put them at different sizes in 2' by 4' frames. everybody likes the look, says it gives them the feeling of being in a photo gallery. 3500? i would think thats with you in it. if i'm not mistaking yours is an "e" trans, right? mines not and nobody makes a aftermarket computer to retro into my car. i have been told that trans is to have to change final drive. i think mine can too, but nobody can give me the answer yes or no. plus yours has the short deck block, i think. all i want to do is run the index and race with the ssssa. have a great fourth guys and gals. rick.

Yes, about 3475-3500 with me in it. Minimum weight for EF/SA and DF/S are 3400. Yes, mine has the e-shift, '92 3.8 231/170-170 motor. Hope you have fun with your project. As long as it runs the Index you'll be good to go and have affordable Class Racing fun
