Carroll Shelby the notorious re-boxer

Larry, don't you think that there's enough blame to go around to ALL of the manufacturers (Shelby is considered a manufacturer by the NHRA)? AND more than a couple of well-connected engine builders.

Rods @ 2.200 instead of 2.437, crank, cam with more lift than the 427, Dove heads, 68 PI alum intake, 735 to 780, Carroll whored it all up

Larry you forgot the special edition aluminum drive shaft. I saw it myself and had to ask. Funny thing back in 67 I don't think even the pro Stockers knew about them. BP

Anyone more than me that think that option would be for all Bigblocks or none?

Did I read the guide right?10 different hp rating depending on the parts you have installed, and one replacement head adds 37hp,close to the stock head in performance??
Who let Stock become the joke it is today?

10 doesn't sound like to many, I counted 17 for the 396 '69 Camaro!
Don't pick on me until I get it finished, hopefully some day. I started from scratch which was a bad idea. If you want to know the combo I picked, it will be a natural A car and yes I'm using 2.200 rods from the approved list.

I've watched this transpire for a while now, and it finally looks like the racers have had enough. Based on what I saw in Division 3 recently, if your sh**s bogus you're gonna get called out. For good reason. Look for more of this throughout all divisions. If NHRA won't do it, look for their hand to get forced by the racers themselves.... It's our option !... If you're a honored one to be selected in a protest, tear it down and take the money, or pull your pants down …. This always has been a part of stk/ss racing! #itsnotbracketracing

I've always said the single 4 barrel NASCAR HEMI in the classification guide is a farce. Bogus intake manifold and hood scoop. Have you ever seen a vintage photo of an actual NASCAR HEMI from 1964-65 with a hood scoop or a '66 HEMI Belvedere with a scoop, if so why didn't Jere Stahl have one?
I'm MoPar through and through but give me a break.
