I'll vote with you Chip. If he has the iron vortec heads and intake. Look up the crate motor specs on the IHRA website. He'll probably have to change the compression (piston change), call either Bullet or Comp Cams for a cam. Unless you get lucky like I did and find someone with spare parts (got my Ross pistons -new- and a used Comp Cam for the 330hp). Maybe post a wanted add thru the sale forum and maybe look through Racing Junk as well.

Didn't look to see where he's from but he could run combos with this. Maybe an IHRA divisional. Like you said, get his feet wet. Build the car with the mindset of setting it up for NHRA legal stock later. Figure out what NHRA combo you plan to run and start collecting pieces.

Why all the knocks on the IHRA crate combos? I'm no expert on this but the guy can feel free to PM me and I'll help him in any way I can. If I can't get my own car ready, be glad to see someone else make it out.
