Re: Aluminum 8 3/4 Housing
Chuck, I asked NHRA about this a couple of year ago and they said no. I think I still have the letter some place. Maybe this has changed, but are you sure as I would like to use one.
Thanks Jerry |

Re: Aluminum 8 3/4 Housing
If the aluminum center section is listed as a Stock class contingency item, it should indicate that it is legal for use in Stock. It is legal in IHRA and I've been using it for almost 2 seasons. I thought I would be hearing some noise and possibly replacing the ring & pinion by now, but it seems to be holding up rather well. I've only had high 1.40 60' times, usually 1.50-1.51, but I have to weigh 3,530+ lbs.
On a similar note, the Moser 8 3/4 housing has been approved by NHRA for Stock! http://www.dragracingonline.com/agen...0-xi_4-56.html

Re: Aluminum 8 3/4 Housing
Regarding NHRA, maybe Evan Smith could chime in on the illegality of aluminum center sections.

Re: Aluminum 8 3/4 Housing
Jeff,
That's a Ford and he is a technical expert who is a published author in National Dragster. Now my plan is to put a Ford 9" housing with a Strange Aluminum 12 bolt center section in our stocker and see if we can sell that to NHRA. Bob

Re: Aluminum 8 3/4 Housing
Bob,
That'll happen when Ford buys G.M. and resurrects/exhumes Pontiac.  Bill
