SS/AM Questions?

[Freddie]

We are working on a Yates headed deal for later this year. We realized how close the setup is from our current NMCA N/A 10.5 setup and will have the ability to race closer to home and more often...

Sheet metal intake and two carbs for sure is the way to go.

I think you will find that "corporate heads" are all that is allowed. For example a small block Mopar could use W-9 heads but not Indy or Edelbrock heads. The corporate heads still must be approved. For example the aforementioned P-5 heads may not be approved in Stock Production.

But like Adger said if you have questions talk to Mike to get the final word.

Good Luck!

Back in the Ihra days with my Duster, I had heads that had dodge casting numbers that were made by diamond engineering ? they were listed and discussed in an old mopar performance engine book and at one time they could be purchased though Direct Connection ( Im not that old!) . All they wanted to see was that casting number ,and Mike baker was happy. I always carried that book around just in case.

They're approved. Wes Leopold Jr.'s new motor for SS/AS is a P5 motor and Lloyd Wofford has a P5 motor in the SS/BM Stratus

The fastest AM cars are the Mopar's with the P5 cylinder head. The P5 cylinder head is not a wedge cylinder head.

I forgot about Gove, he is still using the wedge motor(W8). Sorry Karl, i forgot about him still using that motor.

Gove, Patterson, and Clegg have been the quickest so far. 2 canted, one wedge.

my wedge and my p-5 are almost identical in performance............so far!

I have a Pontiac with Performer RPM heads which are SS legal, the car runs 8.50s with a cast intake and single Dominator @ 7#/CID. I can add a sheetmetal intake and dual carbs. I might not be the fastest but I should be .600 under BUT are the heads legal or not

[Adger Smith]

I'm not familiar with the Pontiac E-heads. Do they have a GM part number cast in to them? not legal if no GM casting #....

No, the heads are only legal for Stock and Super Stock class if the part number matches those shown in the classification guides.

For the Modified classes, it must have an OEM part number.
