SS/GT engine question

kennyd · 01-28-2009, 02:37 PM

if i were to use a fuel injected engine combo do i have to use all of the stock intake or am i allowed to use the any intake super stock rules for carb combo as long as i keep the stock throttle body? 92 225hp 302 ford

That is probably a question Travis Miller may have to answer. I don't know of anyone running a GT car with a newer fuel injected motor.

Any intake with the stock TB in SS. Also TB must face in same direction as the stock one.

I can see it now, a 2008 blown cobra jet motor in my '67 shelby. 425hp rating at 3187lb shipping weight.
(probably wouldn't fit between the shock towers)

fitting under the stock hood might be a problem also.

I think that might be a little light, think there is a minimum weight for Super Stock GT seems like its 2600 lbs.

2533# shipping weight for 70, 2541# for the 71, adding and moving weight around for class would put race weight at about 2800, shipping weight min of 2500# was dropped.
