Not sure of the year but lets keep it stock!! If your springs,lifters , rockers ,valves ,etc, can't handle your cam profile !! guess what!! get a cam that will work with the stock parts. If you wanna build a car with expensive collector parts stop whining about the 2000.00$ head and block cores !! Cause you know damn well you'd buy 5000.00$ billet heads if they were legal!! Stop getting bogus head specs and parts that didn't even come on your car .Stop whining to NHRA about the combo you picked and why you should be given whatever you want to stay competitive . Stop all this "progressing" You can't go back in time and change what came with the cars so why do it now? The only things that should have changed over time are related to safety!! Not what intake or carb or cam or head or whatever. Stock is Stock !! thats it !!! period!!!

Whatever year was the year prior to the unlimited valve spring pressure rule....

That was what changed Stock Eliminator forever and I don't mean for the better.....

I'm with Dwight all the way.By 1975 we had reground cams,headers and 9" by 30" rear tires.

1975. Car ran natural class. Had to weigh shipping weight (weighed without driver). Stock pistons (.035 over permitted). Blueprinting permitted. Reground camshaft permitted (stock lift,,duration and overlap). Open headers and slicks.

Plus all the correct body trim, hoods, tail lights, parking lights. All that stuff for the year, make and model claimed.

1977, I think..Spools and electric fuel pumps allowed.

Things were fine until any duration and any spring pressure.

Wesley should have been turned loose on the phony heads too.
