A 428 crate motor Mustang Convertible in stock, now how cool is that ?

It isn't that cool if you have a D car in the same division.:>(
Looks like they're slowly working their way down the classes.Like the old movie The Blob.

It's a mis-print. He's actually driving their '67 Firebird in D/SA. Talked to him about some metering rods for it. Danny

What section in the NHRA rule book covers "crate motors"?

Or are we talking IHRA here.

Hope I didn't jump the gun. I didn't see all the cars go down the track this morning. Maybe he had a Mustang today but during the test and tune yesterday he was in the Firebird.

Time for GM to get the LS7 Zo6 motors legal for stock in the '98-'02 Camaros and Firebirds and also the late model GTO's....Hell, why not?? Just might even things up a bit if it were to happen.....

Nope. I want a 2011 Z-28 with the LS9 Supercharged combo and I want it rated at 315hp. Now that would make things even.

It is the nickname those upset with the 2010 Mustang motors are calling them. I inquired about buying one of the motors and was told the one I want is available as components only, no crate motor.

So now let me get this straight. The 2010 Mustang isn't a "crate" motor car because you can only buy "components" and not a motor BUT the same 2010 Mustang that can't be tagged and titled OR bought off of a dealers showroom OR bought with said "crate" motor in any way, shape or form BUT can be bought with a Reid Powerglide to go behind the "crate" motor that can only be bought as "components" is legal in Stock?
No sane person could possibly defend this!
