Unless my records are out of date, the stock factor for the 68 coupe is 10.18 and the SS factor is 9.87, That's E/SA and SS/HA. I don't have the 67 coupe in my build folder. Stock is at the top of the weight bracket and SS is towards the bottom. Check these numbers with what is current and read the rule book over and over. Then start the process again. No kidding here.

I'm building a 68 coupe for SS or GT and it's very easy to make a mistake that winds up costing you $1000 because you didn't cross reference the rules before buying parts. $40,000 in a competitive race car isn't a stupid number.

You can't legally bolt HP onto a stocker, but you can tweak the engine quite a bit. It takes an engine builder to do something like that and stay in the rules. Stock racers are all engine experts and engineers at heart who love the challenge of squeezing something out of nothing.

A c4/c6 is a good trans. A race prepped one is $2000.
A Ford 9 inch is a good rear end. A race prepped one is $2000.

See where this is going?

My advice is build your car one piece at a time. Put tires and a good rear end on it and hit the track. Build up from there.

Good luck.
