Randy, You and I believe ...... I will bet several others would if there could be someone or where to start it. Any car with the base motor at the base wt. with the base trans.... everyone can play Heads Up. ANYWHERE.....Take advantage of the car you have becoming important again at less cost and more fun.

With all the numbers being tossed around, how about a max valve lift of .600"...a nice round figure.....

This is a compromise of what's been mentioned...and should allow decent performance while keeping parts costs in check.

You DO want a valve lift rule....RIGHT?

Valve lift rule is fine with me. Why not have it also to where we pull the head and measure the stroke to ensure that there arent any exotic stroke crankshafts?

Valve lift rule fine by me.

For ease of teardown, I don't think stroke is an issue. Have a plug in the side to be pulled and view for no knife edging, and extensive lightening. Keep checking as easy as possible. Valve lift would be easy to check.

This all sounds good but who are you going to get to OK it......NHRA.......No Way. IHRA.......not since Bill Bader left. NMCA......nope, they just love nitrous, turbos, and blowers. Probibly just on a local level. Id love to see it but who is going to make it fly !
Love the limit on cam lift and spec head rule. Anything to make it affordable is a good idea.

Probably would be hard to start, but would catch air once started. Talked with a guy at comp cams, and loved the stud mounted rocker idea, and the spec head. You know the head and cam companys would be on board. The local 1\8 mile tacks are starving for some free shows that may bring in the crowd.
