I had also proposed to NHRA that a GT/AH class be created at 6.0 where we can run those type engines in GT cars. The GTAA cars now at 8.0 for the high horsepower cars running 1000lbs heavier just doesnt wash. NHRA changed GT cars forever when they allowed the 2670lb car. Especially when the changed the wording on the 2500lb minimum.

Wouldnt a 428 Tunnel port Grand AM against a 427 Cobalt heads up at 6.0 be cool?
I'm thinking a new LS7 cobalt or cavalier

Ah, Hudsons! You now have the first "Crate Motor Stocker". Ike Smith built 4 Hudson Jets (small compact car 2800#), and convinced "Farmer" it was and option, only to find that they set the firewall back 4 inches to get a 308 cu in, dual carbed motor and Hydramatic in to J/ Stock. This caused my Falcon to be uncompetitive for over two years. So you see there is precedence for whats going down. A couple of "names" had them and did real well with them, also. Ah, history.
Fred

P.S. I forgot to add this was about 1963/1964 or so.
