You can run GT only if the comb is a hybrid. If the combo can legally be run in SS, you can't run GT. In my case, I am building a '64 Comet with the 289/210 combo. If I run the large Autolite Merc combo, it is a SS/MA. If I run the small Autolite Ford combo, it is a GT/QA. You can't swap between classes, the argument for this rule was that people were running GT with legal SS combos to avoid a potentially losing heads up runs.
