GT/AA Class War At Indy

The Chevrolet cars are allowed the Bow Tie block, (stock passenger deck height) and in many cases, the 401 head. I haven't seen where you can really substantially deck a Bow Tie block. I was looking in to doing a big block Super Stock engine not long ago, as our goal is to eventually field a Super Stock Camaro to go along with our Stock Camaro. Admittedly, the 401 head has an exhaust port that is fairly substantially different from the original aluminum head offered on the L-88 and ZL-1, as well as being different from the cast iron heads that came on the 427-425HP engines. The exhaust port has been raised, as well as having the floor raised. However, the intake port retains pretty much the same location and configuration, as it is also legal in Stock and the original intakes as well as the 359 replacement intake fit and line up fine.
