Almack,
Thanks for the clarification. Can you tell me this... what keeps someone from going out and buying a new gt and just claiming in as 5.0 CJ?

The last time a Mustang GT was legal in Stock was the 2008 model and NHRA rated that 4.6 3V @ 300 hp.

The 2010 CJ with the 4.6 3V is rated @ ONLY 232 hp..........what a joke. It should be more like 322 hp. Maybe someone at NHRA has the numbers inverted ?

Sharp looking Coyote GT you have David!
Love that white color.

I wish I could answer your question because the 2012 Mustang 5.0 is one of the better values on the market.My base model with a auto trans was $27,900.00.

I would guess you could as long as the car had all the same equipment as the race only version.

The very first Drag Pak to race was built from a V-6 Challenger, not a Mopar kit, so it is legal to do so.

Yeah I guess you would obviously have to compare the part #'s on the engine specs with the production GT. I guess that would be a good question for Jesse Kershaw.

The best way someone can build a CJ "clone" would be to buy a 2010 V-6 car and sell the powertrain.

Then, go get a second mortgage on your home and head over to the Ford Racing site becuase they sell everything needed to build a CJ look-a-like. (hood, emblems, rear end, engine, etc.)
Ford sells a 2012 CJ rolling chassis for 50K also.

There is a 08 that comes up on ebay every so often for 65 000 never raced
