At least that would add some additional excitement and even amidst all the unrest of NHRA's idoacy(if thats a word), seeing some of the SS only combos in Stock would be exciting.
Not backhalved they shouldn't be.

I was referring to current stock legal darts/barracudas to be allowed to convert over to a hemi and run in one of the new classes since the weight breaks are for super stock only.

Looks prety simple to me..........

The cylinder head rules in Stock didn't change and that states "The following are permitted: polylocks, jam nuts, screw-in larger-diameter rocker studs or pinned studs, bronzewall valve guides"

The ONLY rule that chaged was the ability to use aftermarket rocker arms and they did NOT have to be (as the old rule was) "Aftermarket rocker arm must be identical to OEM. Either adjustable pushrods or adjustable OEM rocker arms permitted on any application, but not both. OEM roller rockers permitted ONLY if application was originally equipped with roller rockers"

The difference is now the rule says "Aftermarket rocker arm permitted. Either adjustable pushrods or adjustable OEM rocker arms permitted on any application, but not both.

Looks like stud mounted roller rocker arms for the OEM stud mounted engines and T&D's for the OEM shaft type rocker arms.

I don't like the rule but is seems pretty clear on what their intention was.

I wonder what will be acceptable for pedestal mount rocker arms like Olds or some Fords?

Maybe we can get the manufacturers to put both our two year seat belts and two year window net in the same box so that we can "save" shipping? (sarcasm)

ok why is this happening??? So i guess before to long the jackets, neck braces, and gloves will have to be renewed?

Paired shafts, like the Harland Sharp offerings, or stud mount conversions.

Alan
You mention stud conversions for a small Ford 5.0. IMO, that would take machining the head to accept a stud and milling the pedestal to accept a guide plate, correct??
That would be a no no as I am told............am I wrong and lots of racers have done this and that makes it ok? I would love to go to a screw in stud and a guide plate and toss the dumb azz shims kits in the trash.
