Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
That looks so cool. Dumb question for a drag newbie here. I've love watching the sport but have often dreamed of actually participating. I'm mostly interested in the Stock class as well. (Hense why I'm posting here.) What are the basic limits? Let's say I want to run a '68 Camaro that originally came with a 327 and powerglide. Can I run a 396 BB as it was available on '68 Camaros that model year, or do I have to stick with the same displacement the car came with originally? What about a 427 BB as it was available on some "Special" cars?
 I'm just interested in basics to feel out whether this would be something I'd be interested in. Thanks in advance.

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
You can stick a 427 in a 6 cyclinder car if a 427 came in that model that year. You can get a 1969 camaro 307 car and put a 302 in it and run E or F stock. 302's would have to have a 4 speed though. Get an NHRA rule book. They are available and good to read. Sam

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
Jeff, go onto the NHRA site and click on stock clasification guidelines. It will show you eng size,cam spec,cyl heads,piston #s and Mfg's and class weights. I like the 396 alum head combo and that is what is next. Basically .060 bore, have the crank stroked to NHRA allowance, + or - .012+ obviously. I use CP's pistons and a GOOD CRANK!!!! I had Don Little do my heads, Yea a Mopar guy but his stuff flies. Tons of other things if you get serious. My sponsor does a great job on the stocker stuff.

Re: S/SS @ Sonoma
Thanks guys. I actually did look at the rules on the NHRA website about a year ago and I have to admit I was a bit confused. However I'll take another look at it now and do some thinking. I've got several ideas in my head for projects and building a race car is just one of them. I need to finish a few of my current ones and sell them off before I buy another car though. My wife is threating to install parking meters on our driveway.
