Nhra stock/super stock question

[Jarrettfamily]

I have a Ihra f/cm 350 crate stocker. Is there any class in nhra I can run this car??? Stock or super stock. All steel motor after market block. Someone said no but surely it could run one of the super stock Modified classes or gt ???

Good morning, Without knowing any details about year body this engine is in. Not mentioning the transmission and rear end Mfg. it's a little tough to give you a straight answer. Maybe a Super/Stock Modified class but you'll be at a large performance disadvantage. You might want to consider building a correct engine for the "natural" class the car could fit into in NHRA Stock.
Building a competitive Super Stock Modified engine could set you back quite a bit of money. Then you'll be over powering the chassis, there are a lot of things to consider here. I think you should get a NHRA Rule Book and read it thoroughly then start asking questions.
Just my advice, having a car and trying to make if fit a class is a tough way to do this.
Respectfully,
Henry Kunz

A very good source of information is your division tech director. Good luck and hope to see you at the races.

If you live near GA, NC or SC there is the division 2 national open series that you can run a crate motor stocker. Other than that you are pretty much out of luck. Maybe NSS. But that is not NHRA

Looks like there are two different 305 combos you can run in 1985. Some of the 305 guys can tell you which one is better.

Sell the crate motor and build a 305 for it, sounds like your best bet.

If he puts a 83 nose on it, the hp rating is 20hp less than a 85.
