Default Important if you run D-H/S or SA

Someone working in the NHRA Tech Dept. in Ca. has recently allowed the 1968-71 Chrysler 340 cars to legally use the Edelbrock LD340 intake manifold.
Unless you want this to stand, please contact your NHRA Tech officials and the Tech Dept. in Ca. and let them know your opinions.
If they won't be realistic and reverse this, might I suggest that you request your own Edelbrock intake be legalized for your personal combo! But please try and get the LD340 removed first!

I don't know what to tell you about that Mark. All I know is, right now the intake is legal!

It might be hard to find an LD340 that hasn't had some porting or milled out for the TQ. I'm still looking for some 273 iron manifolds in case Billy gets the LD4B removed. I've had better luck finding the LD4B than the old iron units. Since a lot of combos get to run the Edelbrock heads, why not open most combos up to allow a Performer intake as well? At least those can be bought new and not butchered up already. Just my $.01. I can't afford to put in the full $.02.

I guess nothing NHRA tech does surprises me anymore. I see aftermarket alum. heads allowed with hp. lowered not added. Look at engines with 71 hp taken off. Engines with alum. heads and larger carbs that sure as hell was never made. I don't know when it will ever end. NHRA feeds us sh#t and we keep on eating. Rick.

The LD340 is on the 1971 blueprint specs, but not the 1972 340.

I need to submit one of my W2 heads that I was told was factory installed on the "Tunnel Port 318" that came with an 850 Holley and .525" lift cam. Those are extremely rare these days. You had to have the secret option code, BS1. Only a few dealers even knew about it. Factory rated at 205HP due to the extremely restrictive log style 318 exhaust manifolds.

I can't say this enough!!! Don't just look at the post and complain. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, contact NHRA either by phone or E-Mail!
To put this into perspective, (Kenny, don't shoot me!) we're dealing with the "Progressive Liberals" of Stock Eliminator!
