Mike, I'm sorry to have to say this but that is the biggest line of crap that I've ever read on this web site! The over-all spirit of the rules? That got tossed aside with the original valve spring rule!
Please humor me for just one minute and tell me just what it is that you think is left in your combo that you think is remotely "Stock" at this point! I know that I'm going to piss off a few real good friends here but the 396/375 combo is the LEAST "Stock" combo out there. You've gotten everything that you've needed over the years to make it faster and more dependable(and let's not forget the "easier to get parts for and less expensive" B.S.) and you just keep on wanting more!
It seems to me that the issue here is either live with the rules that we've got(or at least the "spirit") and break stuff to go fast or back it down a bit and make it live.
OR just go the heck back to Pro Stock or Top Stock!

Billy hit that nail on the head. Just look at the NHRA approved aftermarket parts listing for the BBC. You could build an entire "Stock" legal A/S '69 Camaro powertrain from the water pump to the rear diff pinion without using a SINGLE item manufactured by GM, much less something made in 1969. Try it, name ONE item in a stick-shift '69 396/375 powertrain that MUST be OEM stock from 1969 for the combo to be legal.
