Re: Crate Motor Class
Think Crate Motor Class needs a bit of rethinking.
It was a smart evolution for Stock.
In fact wrote an article promoting Crate Motors in Super Stock Drag Illustrated, August 1993 edition.
My opinion but do not like tunnel rams, or any carb or intake on a Crate Motor.
That took it too far but is what it is.
US big 3 plus America Motors made factory replacement engines.
Even creating a few for the performance market.
Idea was to get updated engines out there replacing the well worn versions, some with hard to get pieces.
It added a little diversity to the Stock Eliminator concept.
Interesting that you can put a SBC in a Vega or SBF in Pinto.
Now that would make a good heads up race.
