Be sure and check out classracerinfo.com, lots of useful information there.

The combos you see depends on where you’re at. Division 7 is pretty Mopar heavy. Regarding your question on the 383, they’re not any cheaper to build than a 440, go slower, and oftentimes aren’t rated as favorably. There are some really hard running low deck engines out there though. Your ‘67 with a 383 would make a pretty good combination.

The 383 or 440 are both good choice in a 67 B Body.
Also the 426 Hemi is excellent but it is pricey. My son and I are
very ordinary guys and we have a lot of fun in Stock/SS.

I think you still have my number, and you are welcome to call
any afternoon. I will be happy to chat with you in more
detail when not in public.

The class combo is like a heads up , it's how far under your index you can run and your reaction time . The tree start will handy cap off the index split of the 2 cars ( just like a bracket race slower leaves first ) . Do you have a copy of nitro joe's ? In Div 1 there are a few BB mopars that run very well. If your car has bin tubed for big tires super stock is your best option. And 8 under isn't a bad please to start .

Your car is mini tubbed so stock eliminator is out.

Very familiar with BB mopar bracket engines is great, but doesn't mean much for stock or SS racing.
Different as night and day.

There are many good running cars on the west coast in all classes A-H, and a few notables in I-M so you won't go very far with a slow car.

SS is just cubic dollars to run far under. Lots of RPM.

What do you get for setting a national record? About 9 horsepower. LOL

Or stay with bracket racing, money ahead.

Sounds negative, but trying to be realistic.

I didn't even get to the entry fees going up and purses not following, and contingencies going away or no payment. Then the amount of time off work needed to attend races.

Is it off the index split, or a dial-in on the car?
