Car/motor/class question

Stewart Way · 04-24-2011, 11:08 AM

You can run the car in modified, A is 7.5 X CID. Bob Marshall runs an older Dodge in Modified sometimes. It opens the scoop/intake to other choices as well as alum Mopar heads.
Think the single 4 race hemi is a post only in the Dodge but a post or hardtop in the Plymouth. Strange.
As far as the hoodscoop in GT , I was told by Bruce Bachelder that a scoop can't be added to a car, it had to be available with one so since your 65 hardtop was not available with a scoop you can't run a scoop in GT. A 383 shaker can use the scoop in the 68 Cuda and Dart but not the Valiant. Thats the last I heard.

Looks like it would have to be a modified class car. Doesn't look like it would fit any gt class. We have a motor and a car. We just need to put the cage in the car. It would probably be pretty slow for a modified class car though. But I really just wanna bracket race it. Not looking to win class. I'm guessing it would run 9.50's with that motor in it. Most mods run in the 8's don't they?

I'm not sure if it would fit mod either. Dang it!!! Looks like I'll have to build the 383 up for ss/ja.

You might want to get ahold of Steve Wann, at Rettig Bros Racing ! Someone can get you the # ! Or you might call John Winslow, who races what your talking about, with a Steve Wann combo ! ........Good Luck,,,,,,,,,,,,John

The car will fit in SS/D @ 450 Hp x 7.5 lbs with 1 850 Holley and I believe the scoop is legal.

Build it with the Hemi and the scoop and race in Nostalgia SS. It's fun racing without all the pressure and you don't spend millions chasing points.

Not sure I'm reading the class guide right but for the 1-4 hemi for 65 Plymouth it lists the Belv I sedan 2 dr at 7.56 and the Belv II sedan 2 dr hdtp at 7.84. I take that as the Belv I is a post and the Belv II is a hardtop since it has hdtp in the description.
