64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
At the recent "fallnationals" in Ennis, Texas .. I seen a 1964 Hardtop running GT/EA ..
I seen him LIFT OFF the hood later and it had a single 4 barrel intake with a Edelbrock intake , it was a wedge style motor and to my eyes, it looked like a basic bracket setup ..? I can't keep up on the rules on what is and what isn't like most can but, since when is a car like this allowed in super-stock ? I think it was Jim Hale , but I can not confirm that, its just a guess on my part |

Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
Any production V8 of same manufacturer is legal in GT. Probably a 440 or possibly a very light 383 combination.

Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
X-Tech nab, I hate to say your wrong, BUT, 64 Ply & Dodge Hemi cars had hinged hoods, with very lite springs ! Two guys from my home had HEMI cars in 64, 1 had the alum package, in a Savoy, the other had the HEMI in a 64 Belvedere 2 Dr Htp which was a Steel car, except for the Scoop Which was Alum !! There was only 13 HEMI cars built with the Steel Package in the only available body which was a BELVEDERE 2 Dr HTP ! Dodge also built the STEEL version using the 440 2 Dr HTp, and the HEMI ,also with the Alum scoop ! Dodge also built approx 13 Steel cars, the rest of the HEMI cars had the THE ALUM package ........! Later,,,,,,,, John

Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
Although the rule book says any production V8 of the same make, year optional, there is another unwritten rule. If the car you run in GT has a functional hoodscoop your engine combo has to have come from a fresh air combo. At least that is what Bruce Bachelder has told me. For the Mopar, anything from 340 up was available with a shaker in 70 and the Chally Drag Pac engines will work.

Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
P.S. one more note. In every picture of S/S run offs at the Indy nationals of 1964 the Hemi cars are shown WITHOUT the Magniesum front wheels and running steel replacement wheels so should we assume that NHRA said NO to the lite wt. front wheels in S/S and only allowed them in FX? It could be the same story on the hood hinges on 1964 cars as the 1965 cars later came with bolt on hoods and without mag wheels. Are there any 65 + year old Hemi racers still out there who could shed more info about this?

Re: 64 Plymouth GT/EA in Ennis
All four of the '64 AFX cars "2%" cars started as max wedge cars. In early photos they even had the double hump hood scoops. All of the available 426 Hemis were in Daytona going in circles....
