What section in the NHRA rule book covers "crate motors"?

Or are we talking IHRA here.

Time for GM to get the LS7 Zo6 motors legal for stock in the '98-'02 Camaros and Firebirds and also the late model GTO's....Hell, why not?? Just might even things up a bit if it were to happen..... WJ

Nope. I want a 2011 Z-28 with the LS9 Supercharged combo and I want it rated at 315hp. Now that would make things even.

It is the nickname those upset with the 2010 Mustang motors are calling them. I inquired about buying one of the motors and was told the one I want is available as components only, no crate motor.

So now let me get this straight. The 2010 Mustang isn't a "crate" motor car because you can only buy "components" and not a motor BUT the same 2010 Mustang that can't be tagged and titled OR bought off of a dealers showroom OR bought with said "crate" motor in any way, shape or form BUT can be bought with a Reid Powerglide to go behind the "crate" motor that can only be bought as "components" is legal in Stock?
No sane person could possibly defend this!

You can only buy the motor only as components. You can buy the car with motor in.

I could tag the car in colorado as a home built and get plates but I would probably have to put mufflers on it.

Who ever said I was sane.

Billy said it right the insane are running the show!

My understanding was that the car could never be titled as a condition of buying it. If that is true how does it ever get classified as a stocker?

That is EXACTLY one reason why these limited production and incomplete cars should be classified as SUPER STOCK ONLY and not stockers. No one said they should never be allowed to race in a class legal catagory....just not as a stocker like the limited production, non emission and safety tested and incomplete '68 HEMI 'Cudas and Darts were and are classified to this day.

I wish you a lot of luck with that!
I can't wait till some "stupid rich kid" buys one, brings it home and tries to tag it. That should be a good lawsuit.
