Modified motor!
SS is HP to weight, SS Mod is cu in to weight. I'm running a "hand me down" comp motor. Trying like hell to get it on the track. Last edited by Chevy55; 10-09-2015 at 08:46 AM. |

Re: SS Modified
Would a 300" Small Block Chevy with the Dart Buick Heads fit into any Super Stock Class? This is an old comp motor.

Re: SS Modified
The Buick Dart head is an accepted cylinder head.
The head was manufactured by Dart for GM with a GM part number. It is still a great cylinder head for small CID engines like yours. You can run in SS/BS, with one carburetor, or, SS/CM thru SS/FM with two carburetors. |

Re: SS Modified
Thank you guys. What would I have to weigh with that 300" motor and an automatic in SS/EM and SS/FM?
Not sure how the percentage for the automatic works when it says 11.50-12.49 ect.. Do you go off of 11.50? |
