Battery Placement IHRA Crate Motor ?

Steve Stickel · 12-22-2013, 03:40 PM

Question ,
Rule book says
" Trunk mounted battery legal " So, I'll assume that no other stock location mounted battery is required ? Just one in the trunk and that's it?

Also, I don't see any links to cylinder head runner volumes on the IHRA site.
Does a list exist? or use the NHRA information?

Thanks in advance for your advice

Yes, trunk only is acceptable in a crate motor car. You just have to add a kill switch.

Runner and chamber specs are the same as NHRA based on the head casting numbers. Numbers for any superceeded/allowed heads that are IHRA only would need to be checked through one of the IHRA tech officials.
