question about GT/
 

when reading the rules it says any year motor in any year of car, as long as they are the same make,

has anyone tried an LS1 in an early nova?

Re: question about GT/
 

I inquired about a similar issue (Volare with a 5.7L hemi) with NHRA and they told me that it would be a legal combination within the GT guidelines. However, it would have to be fuel injected and listed under the engine combo listing (which of course the LS1 is). I would send an email to NHRA tech to be safe. Heck of an idea!

Re: question about GT/
 

sounds like a good idea for the volare!

and for the nova idea, heck throw in an ls7 from a newer z06

Re: question about GT/
 

now how about a prowler with a 6.1 ?:eek:

Re: question about GT/
 

I'm kinda surprised no one has tried a combo like you mention since they opened up the GT body rules. How bout Kip Martin's early Mustang with a 331" blown CJ? (if you're into the F-word cars)
Or...a '55 Chev 210 with a 454...etc. I know it's not "pure", but that horse left the barn when GT was invented!

Re: question about GT/
 

I would rather see an early Mustang with the 2010 352 in it. Yes I am into the F-word cars.

Re: question about GT/
 

great idea....but totally impossible!! the 6cyl. that's in it is right next to the body panels.

Re: question about GT/
 

i have never seen the engine compartment so i guess wishful thinking,

as for fords a 67 fastback with the new cobra jet motor and a 4 speed:eek:

Re: question about GT/
 

There are 4 new Cobra Jet engines, 2 OHC, 2 pushrod.

The OHC engines would not fit in an early Mustang without cutting and welding.

The pushrod motors are small blocks and would drop right in.

Re: question about GT/
 

we are thinking of putting one of the crate motors in the Fairlane and run GT/D :D

Re: question about GT/
 

for that matter a 401 into a gremlin!!!

Re: question about GT/
 

I'm Waiting for the Corvette with the truck motor 454 to hit. Best motor position, Hood scoop, Aerodynamic or maybe an early vette (previous Comp) with one.
Dick Butler.
I can hear the rules committee phone ringing now. "But its a Vette they NEED more HP"

Re: question about GT/
 

Would like to do a 1971 Ford Maverick with a Boss 302 engine and stick shift, but that engine is SO over rated in NHRA's HP rating, it wouldn't make sense.

Re: question about GT/
 

what about doing a 427 in a foxbody mustang?

Re: question about GT/
 

HP rating is to high!! We had thought about that

Re: question about GT/
 

How about an LS7 in an early camaro or corvette?

Re: question about GT/
 

what about doing a 390? or is that also to high? i do not know the ratings for these bigger motors.
