Should we go on?

[GUMP]

Actually, the classes themselves were created to stop all the crying. The cars came first...

Here's another one:


"Aluminum
center section permitted only on vehicles that were originally
equipped with same."


In other words, a "stock" CJ II center section is not allowed in another Ford CJ 1

[Mark Yacavone]

More...

"Porting, polishing, welding, epoxying and acid-porting prohibited.
Combustion-chamber modifications prohibited. "

I don't see where CNC porting is allowed

Good GAWD Gump, you ever seen a nine inch FORD rear end in a 69 Camaro stock eliminator car ????

I maybe wrong be wasn't AMC the first to offer ported heads?

[GUMP]

I guess the argument has now turned to interpreting the rules?

Every turn-key late model factory car came with a 9" rear and aluminum center section. The 2008-up rule came when racers started converting the factory cars to their production version around 2015.

Factory ported heads were in the guide before 2008.
