The car is an IHRA car. And in IHRA the Mustangs go in AA/FIA.

Addition to Fuel Injection Classes: AA/FI and AA/FIA are added to the class structure for Stock Eliminator. The 2 classes are reserved for 2008 and later accepted factory muscle cars. No existing FI cars may remove weight and enter this class.

Class Break is 7.50 to 7.99. Class Index is 10.85 1/4 mile and 7.00 1/8 mile.

Good move for IHRA. Now the blown Mustangs are insulated from the "normal" muscle cars and they can kick thier own butts IF any ever show up.

The 63 Dodges had aluminum bumpers, The 64 Dodge was paper thin steel with aluminum brackets, I owned both. The stock 64 Dodge bumper and brackets I had weighed 68lbs, the light weight with aluminum brackets was 15 lbs. The lightweight bumper was extremely rigid, not flimsy at all. Back in the early to mid eighties I was living with my mom and she walked into the spare bedroom upstairs one time to see the whole front of a 64 Dodge completely assembled, she wasn't pleased, Paul.

How about the alum. radiator and the Barton intake lid?

[X-TECH MAN]

Alum. stock replacement radiators are legal in ALL IHRA stockers. Reason......some older units are almost impossable to find or recore. Its cheaper to use a stock alum replacement. The difference in wt. is next to nothing. Common sense prevails. The intake manifold was allowed by Mike Baker as I had nothing to do with that decision as I retired. It to makes sense as try finding a stock OEM cross ram HEMI intake manifold that hasnt been dicked with after all of these years. The MoPar performance Hemi part is much less expensive and easy to obtain. Beats payibg several thousand dollars for an OEM intake If you could find one. I know.....But its not stock but what is these days. Its not stock that counts but what is allowed by the racing association. Look at the single 4 barrle manifold that NHRA allowed on the Hemi cars like Bartons and others. Its no where near like the original piece IF you could ever find one and take out a mortgage to pay for it. Not everyone racing these Hemi cars is a multi millionare.
