I'm not sure who you're saying should have read the whole post, me or you. I'm trying to figure out the GT weight thing myself but the way it reads on the NHRA site, the 74 Duster has a shipping weight of 3242 max and adding 250 to that =3492. 304 HP X 11.5 factor for GT/HA=3496 which means this car can not run GT/HA as a 74 with the 70 383 and it will have to run a full cage which is what I was trying to say in my first post. The good news is as a 75 it will make the class as the shipping weight is high enough, Paul..

Other than that, cam and pistons #'s must be what is in the tech sheets?

As you can see it's pretty boring around here this morning.

SS must have heads (casting, valves, chamber, runner volume), carb, piston configuration (top view; i.e., if NHRA says "flat with notches" it can't have a dome), bore / stroke / deck tolerance, accepted rods per NHRA tech guide.
Any valve train or intake (relative to OEM configuration), porting within specs, and a few other items allowed. Consult rulebook. SS is the next level above Stock.
