When I drove Ed Newton's SS/AX Monza a couple years ago, the minimum weight was 2235 lbs with a 275 CI V-6. I went as quick as 8.85 @ 152 on a 9.50 index.

It takes a Splayed Valve V-6 to be competitive in SS/X classes. I haven't seen an in-line 6 run like the SV- V-6.
To build a SS A/X car it has to be very lite weight in the 2200 lb area. Anything bigger than a 280-285 cu in V-6 will make all the cars too heavy to compete. Most good are 280 and under. I have 2 - 278 cu in and a 266 cu in engine. It takes making 2.25 + Hp per cu in.
This is a test pass in SS/DS which is like a SS/X class except there are some body rules and a 750 carb rule.

Right now I'm out due to family health issues.
If you want some good parts to start with let me know. I might consider selling the car.

Does the cylinder heads and block have to be the same manufacturer?

Adger Smith · 08-24-2014, 07:11 PM

The block has to be a GM or a NHRA approved copy (Browell) of a GM or Ford.
The heads have to have a GM part number or be an approved head by NHRA.
The corporate match to vehicle has to be there, too. No Chevy in a Dodge, ect...
