Based very close to Pure Street class build guidelines, I noticed where a Stock Eliminator car could easily fit the rules by swapping in one of those crate engines.

The whole idea centers around Ford's 5.0 Coyote crate engine. Guys could put a stock crate 5.0 into any 1979-2012 Mustang and 79-93 Fox bodies....3100 lbs min.

Anyway, here is a link to the proposal. I sure hope Ford gets on board with this.

Alan, I too have followed this thread and there will be strict restrictions with zero tuning or changing of the EFI computer setup, and the engines will be sealed allowing zero changes to anything as well. I dont necessarily have a big problem with this, as it is meant to be a drivers class and you have to invest in your chassis setup. My problem is like anything else with the NMRA or the NMCA thats involves a clutch, and manula transmission. Unless you run Hot Street, or Pro Stock you are restricted to the stock diaphragm style clutch, and no straight cut gears in the transmissions.
