I have some questions in regard to classes and motors. I am looking running in the modified class. Anyone here run the modified class? What class would be best? To my understanding I can use any ford production motor and the class I get put into is based off race weight divided by cubic inches. With that being said I am looking at the SS/DM class so I can run a 302. My question for the engine is how do these super stock engines make so much power with stock stroke etc? I do know this is not going to be cheap but I plan on taking it in stages as finances allow. Any and all advice is appreciated!
Thanks!

Much less expensive to find one ready to go. Building one is going to cost you a fortune. Modified engines are very expensive and a lot more maintenance than a traditional SS engine. Like other said ask around. Talk to Ashton Hudson. He ran SS/CS for years and now runs comp with a Ford. Venice is great too. They can set you straight on the Ford stuff. That’s another thing. Ford stuff is much harder to get.
