Update on this thread. I submitted a rule change review request to Bob Blackwell Div 5 Tech. Recieved an email from him the other day in which he said "The committee has voted to look at this for a 2017 Rule change".

Thank you Mr. Blackwell and to all for your support.

How about replacing a Ford SROD in a Fox body with a Jerico or Toploader?

[Sean Marconette]

An SROD is a 4 speed so a 4 speed Jerico, G-Force, or top loader could be used. Depending on the year of foxbody, if it came with an OD trans then a 5 speed can be used. If it's an 82 and older then 4 speed is the only trans allowed. This is stick combos that I am referring to.

Glad to hear something is in the works Phil. Hopefully something before 2017 happens for you. But its progress.

That is awesome Phil! Can't wait to see the '62 in action. Nice work taking the initiative to get that rule updated!
