All looks good to me. Does a V-10 come with roller cam journal bearings and now they have to change to babbit bearings? That does't make sense.
Does NHRA not want roller bearings in Stock and they are making it an across the board rule?

The V10 has no bearing, and runs on the block. NHRA allowed us to bore the block and have a babbit in Stock, and in SS everyone has a roller.

Or a Torqueflite or a Cruise-o-matic? And if no two-speed was available you can retrofit one?

On the transmissions, it wasn't discussed about any aftermarket transmissions, so I assume OEM only. But we just need to clarify that. It doesn't take effect until next year. This was a result from requests from the new car folks like me, and the Chevy guys who have a glide only, or a 3 speed only, to run either. Old cars. Notice. Old Cars Now if we can agree on that, then surely the Democrats and Republicans can agree on something. Sorry, lost my thought train.
