The Edelbrock heads do no have an OEM part number.

The Section 11 a - g document initially titled Super Stock is just a grouping of classes for stock bodied, theoretically street legal race cars with a limited set of modifications. The notion that "I did X in SS and GT, so I can do X in Modified Stock just isn't true. It's important to read the full section for the class you're interested in until you understand it, then start asking questions and listening to answers and advise. Sometimes racers get hung up on running a given combo in a given class and won't give it up when they are told it won't fly. I want to put a fiberglass GT hood on my 68 Mustang, but I can't so I won't.

Question, I have gotten conflicting answers, but do we need the actual crush bumper and collapsible supports in a 85 Mustang behind the outer bumper in AM?

We finally got some info from our div. office from the other questions we had, but I asked two tech officials and got two different answers.

Rule is clear:
BUMPER
The front and rear bumpers must be attached to the chassis
using the OEM impact bars. The bracing of the rear bumper can
be reinforced by using aftermarket tubing and be attached to the
rear frame section and body panels to retain exterior factory
appearance. Inside front and rear bumpers must retain factory
appearance. Covering of cavities prohibited.

Read that and when asked I was told by one tech person and one fellow racer that it was not needed,. I guess I will just put them on the car to be safe. I can use the weight anyway.

Thanks..
