Any new Stock Super Stock Cars being build for 2012?

[JCChildress]

I am working on a 67' Chevy II post car. Its a tribute car to "Grumpy Jenkins ". It should be done sometime around mid 2012, or earlier if things go well. Its in the body shop now. I have lots of parts here and it will be at Wisecarver's soon for a round tube back-half,4 link and cage. I used to work there and I will get to help do a lot of it hopefully. The combo will be a 275 HP 327 and I will run SS / F . It should be a neat deal.

But first you have to build a car that is in the class guide. The car you're building is not.
I'm sure you'll get it figured out. Just do like you do in IHRA, Claim another year.

Hagen, is the guide that you are talking about ??

Maybe they fixed it. My '98 WS6 TA convert daily driver is certainly an LS1.

If you are going to claim a 1998, your only choice is a LT1 unless you plan on running a V6. You could claim a 1999 to 2002 if you want to run a LS1.

The stuff you copied above is LT1 info.

[Ed Wright]

Saw that 346 and was thinking cubic inches.

[Troy Pourciau]

Early 98 was LT1 cars.. Late 98 was LS1 cars. The option code label is still in the car. It def says LS1 option on the label. Kyle, do you have a LT1 engine that you would like to sell ? Uhh CHEAP.

Troy,

I am confident your car is a LS1 since it is a 1998. The NHRA guide for whatever reason only lists the LT1 for the entire year. 1998 is LT1 only. There is some controversy about that, but it is what it is and there isn't a performance advantage of the 1998 over the 1997 in the LT1 config.

I do have my spare LT1 that is fast, very fast. I would make you a good deal if you are truly interested.

[Ed Wright]

I was working on those when the '98 production began. None were LT1s. No matter, a '98 body won't run one bit faster than a '97.

Kyle's engines are fast.

[KRatcliff]

Thanks Ed, but let's give credit where credit is due. Pete, Jeff Warren, and even you had a hand in all of that.

I may have cost my engines a full tenth with my fiddling. Just think what they would do without me massaging them.
