1.) "simple motor change" yea, just "slap together" a 10K to 25K motor and throw it in your car. I always thought the true intention of a Stock Eliminator was a entry level classes.

2.) I can never understand why the idea of too many classes is a problem? Isn't it just a big bracket race anyway. The real difference is the cars are not typical bracket cars and I enjoy the performance challenge of a class car.

I have a 85 Camaro as my next build. Either going to build a 4 Cyl W/SA car or a Pure Stock with the original 305 motor which runs great. E/PS index is a 13.40 I could use the the original rear with gear change, converter change, just go through the motor (even leave the shortblock alone) maybe add a "cheater cam" Install roll bar now just in case I would want too step up to a traditional Stock Eliminator class. Today the only place to run this car here in the Northeast (New York) are the All Star S/SS Combo races.

Crate Motor and GT Stock adds a lot of different cool combinations too. I personally love a Vega with a 350/300 HP crate motor.
