EX IHRA Stocker What does my car fit at NHRA
I have an ex IHRA Stock Eliminator car (68 Camaro) that ran as a Crate Motor car for years. Car has no engine, car is mini tubed, leaf spring with cal tracs. What class will this car fit into at NHRA ? Will be a small block. Im assuming it will have to be ran as a Super Stocker being mini tubed ? If your going to bash me for having a crate motor car please refrain yourself and not comment. I know I need a rule book but just thought someone could answer a simple question as to class selection. :cool:

Are you going to run 327 or the 350? Also a possibility would be GT classes I think.

GT would give you the option of buying any legal GM SS motor and running. Get access to the greatest tool around by going to ClassRacerinfo.com and following the link. This is a 1000 times easier than going through all of the classification guides on nhraracer.com

Check on Classracerinfo.com for your '68 combo's in the Stock-SS class tool for outside of the GT classes.
Good luck, |

IMO, if the replacing the mini-tubs is the biggest change you need to make to fit Stock, I would suggest taking that route. The learning curve, time and expense will be much easier to handle than going into SS. The variety of available engines is also a plus.

If you decide to put the regular tubs back in you might consider the 327 two barrel combination; Sorensen has proven it to be potent and can hold it's own in heads up runs. If you jump up to the 396 you're going to be spending a lot of $ any way you go. Don't necessarily think one of the GT classes would be a bad deal, lots of people have GT cars that don't spin the high RPM which makes SS more costly. Factors in favor of SS is any GM motor will work (Dave Barcelon's 327 Larry Stewart built motor for sale sounds like a good buy BTW, particularly if you can fit enough tire) and can use trans brake and electric/air shifter. Only you can decide the budget and how fast you want to go; just trying to help a former crate motor racer make the switch. Good luck
