Buy a rule book, it will help more than you would think and save costly redos . Print a copy of 1968 engine blue print specs. Don't be afraid to speak with NHRA Tech, they are always a big help. Good luck!

Thanks for the responses
I have a rule book for sure and have printed out engine blueprint specs. Will just have to do some reading again to learn what I've forgot.
I will probably have a few questions over the build for sure, and will touch base with my division tech for sure.
Thanks again !!!

396-325 auto,proven combo. Down side fits in tough classes lots of chances for heads up runs.

Yes I was kind of wondering that also but One thing is until I can travel a little more most of the reasonably local NHRA opens that I might catch close by don't get to many cars, so might be a smaller chance for a heads up.
Other choice I have is a 70 nova I could use and maybe use a different combo.
The nova I have no issues with welding in a roll bar, Frame connectors etc., chevelle was a little on the fence with doing a roll bar in it, but I guess I would, want to do a little playing with one of them.
