I guess either the manufacture or someone has to submit something for the V6 combo. Surely not a "dime rocket" but the "new"Challenger is 15 yrs old. 50 yr old cars are good to go though.

might not be a dime rocket, but if we can get them in to the guide, it would be a new source. it would be great to see the 6 cyl mustangs and camaros added too

Since Paul Wong and I got into building the 5.7 street version. I always wondered why the V6 wasn't in the books. Sure are more of those then Hemis I bet. The SOHC 3.5L has had some changes here and there. Don't go by me. I haven't researched it a ounce. I think it was 215 hp and thru the years was pumped up to 230. Get some generous NHRA person to start it out lower than listed. A real street car with some small mods (headers and what ever) might run index..

How are you going to put headers on an engine with only one port per bank?

[GTS340]

carefully?

[kdanner]

I'm fairly certain the 3.5L used through 2010 had 3 exhaust ports in the head, it's the 2011-up 3.6L that doesn't.

[GTS340]

Not my concern either way. The SOHC engine has 6 exhaust ports if your worried. Your talking about a DOHC engine with one port.

the exhaust pipe bots up directly to the head. i wonder if a stepped exhaust would be a pseudo headers

The Mustang from 2011-2014 has the 227 V6 in the guide. There's actually one racing in Div. 1 in M\SA. Then in 2015 with body style change to what it is now the 138 Turbo 4cyl. is in the guide.
