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
For what it's worth:
It's the ex-Chuck Rayburn, ex-Jim Hale '64 Hemi car. Jim ran it for a few years in the early part of the decade and then Chuck acquired it and ran it for some time. Recently, Chuck and Jim swapped cars with Chuck receiving a '68 Cuda for SS/AH competition. I believe in GT/EA that it's a 383 combo which, if it's the 300 Hp combo, would only need to weigh 3170 for that class.
