Re: Just another 4th gen F-body
They do not check VIN numbers on anything. If they did, half of the cars out there would be disqualified for not being what they claimed to be. If the car looks right and has the correct external pieces (headlights, taillights, trim, etc., sometimes interior pieces) you are good to go.

Re: Just another 4th gen F-body
I you can make it look like a 1998 you will be able to run a lt1 as a 1998 or you can claim 1999-2002 and run LS1 power. Everyone knows GM did not make a LT1 in 1998 but NHRA says they did and that is all that counts. I don't know how much expense it will be but it will give you flexibility.
The Cuda/Barracuda has some flexibility from slant six to 426 Hemi. I run it as a six pack. |

Re: Just another 4th gen F-body
If you decide to go the stocker route get an NHRA rule book.There's limitations what can legally be done to the car ie;engine/drivetrain mods,suspension,weight etc.It's better/cheaper to do it right the first time.Good luck on the build,whichever way you choose to go. gsa612

Re: Just another 4th gen F-body
How much money do you want to spend? Cheaper to buy a complete car then building it. I've built one Gen3 and one gen 4 Camaro and after the build, both cars still weren't competitive.Doing all the work ourselves and building motor,trans,rear end,roll cage, way over $35k 3/10 th under. Go super Street, much cheaper and this way, you can keep the cage you have and rear end. You'll have more fun and you can use it for bracket racing at your local track.Jok Nicholson did a build up in online Bracket racing article.Good luck.
