That's not quite the way it works. The rules are written and enforced in a "positive" manner. That is, if the rule book does not say you can do it, then it is not allowed. Plus, according to the paragraph under "BLUEPRINTING" in the stock cars section, it clearly states "Stock factory OEM components (unless otherwise specified) must be retained and remain unaltered . . . " (emphasis mine). That's a good basis for it not being allowed.

Jim i know me and Jeff were getting ready to get the blocks done and he called and they said (NO) Jeff bought the tooling and his machineist was ready and someone called Kevin Helms and said that it is not legal anymore.and Jeff called to confirm it. ED. STOCK ONLY!!!! IT IS LEGAL IN SUPER STOCK.

Last time I checked Teuton and helms are not Gracia and Bachelder. Sammy what did Bruce or Danny say when you called and asked them?

Trust me, they definately do check for it. And pulling the cam out is apparently necessary to measure it. Not much fun, and hard on the tennis elbow when your balancer is as tight as mine is. Fortunately I had a stock size cam bore but I had intended to go with a 55mm but just didn't get it done in time.

I have an email indicating the large core cam is ok as long as you aren't using roller cam bearings. I will try to find it and post it if I can.

So what's the verdict here? Roller cam bearings? 60mm tunnel? offset lifters? Lifter dia?


lot of grey area to sort thru

60 mm tunnel, offset lifters, lifter diameter. What are you talking about? You went back 9 months for this? Do you race Stock or Super Stock?

In the spirit of "there are no stupid questions" what is the advantage of a large base circle cam in a Stocker motor? I know in a Comp motor where they RPM 9500-10000+ My 396-325 never went over 6800 and if it did lose power. Thanks Learn me something.

Does this mean that a ford can have roller bearings as they are the stock size and a ford part number?
