Under the Competiton tab of the NHRA Site, there is a link to Accepted Products

Here is the direct link.

I would read it and learn everything about your engine / options / desires you can, in my case I have been limited because of the lack of availability of approved products for the package I last worked on.

BUT for you .... it should be chock full of dollar spending goodness.

The rears don't have to be on a list. Just follow the guidelines in the rulebook.
If they're buying that weebie jeebie stuff, they ought to buy just about anything.

You might get away with the crossmember. I don't think they've specifically addressed that issue yet. I know they wouldn't want to see some flimsy, lightweight thing under there.
Just modify a stock one if you're looking for header clearance on the left side.
You ought to be using a TH 200 , but the mount is in the same place anyway.

Listen more and talk less. I don't mean you are too talkative, but if you will listen to people that have been doing this for a while you cn learn a whole lot.

Attend a race and look for a combo like yours, talk to the owner, racers like to help others, ask him if you can take detailed pictures and ask questions and take notes...most racers will be glad to help you.

Oh, Welcome to the toughest drag racing class in the NHRA!
