Where are the pre 1960 stockers? - Page 2

Jim, here's a couple of old shots of two '58 Chevy's...

So again I'll ask -

Why did the NHRA reinstate the the pre-1960 cars?

The engine specification charts list engines for vehicles not listed in the Classification Guide! Why was the Classification Guide NOT updated to include combinations listed in the engine spec charts? Why were the pre-1960 cars included in Stock Eliminator if they can't be competitive? We're talking 50-year old technology here, aren't we? Can't use an early crank with a late model/Dart block - no bearing spacers allowed, right?

Can someone explain this?

Sleeve the Dart block use a 302 crank. Cost about 3000.00
