Does anyone think that shortly/soon NHRA will open up and allow after market heads in stock. Some of these heads are getting very hard to find and also very expensive.

Not my combo or several others. 68-69 427/390-400 hp oval port motor. Spec's show an Edelbrock head for SS but NOT stock.

I don't know protocol but I'm sure reaching out to NHRA about your concerns may be a good start.

I believe they are listed in the Stock Car Classification Guide under your Car/Motor combo. Best to check with your Divisional tech director before spending $$$ confirm HP penalties.

They are listed on some combo (not mine) BUT, if you start looking at spec's of replacement vs oem head, most replacements have a larger volume which might not be legal (unless there's a rule I don't know about).
