I like your idea Art,
What if I left it sideways (normal to you)?

Why would you lock yourself in to absolutly no traction helpers (other than weight) A final (rear end) drive ratio under 4,0. And the biggest slick you could put on the cars would be 9 x 26.
There is a lot of negatives to a FWD car.

Which brings up an interesting issue. Will we see more class availability to race 6 and 4 cylinder engines in the near future, since that is the majority of the engines being produced. Imagine a Ford Ecoboost 6-cylinder for IHRA CM.

Chris,

I raced a 225, 4sp Valiant in 1964.....bone stock, I broke 5ea 7 3/4's in one year.......8 3/4 is the only way to go.

PS. never lost a street race to another 6cyl the entire I owned it.

if you want to run under the modern index with a stick, the 8 3/4 will never last either. besides that all the ring gear selections you need are obsolete.

Jeeeez, whaddaya gotta run - a Dana ???

[mtkawboy]

If it hooks hard enough that you need a Dana 60 the cranks will start to break at the rear flywheel flange. The motor will still run, the car just wont move. I went thru that with an H/G Anglia with a slant 6 back in the early 70s, broke 3 of them.

Is there some way to medicate Slantsixitis?
