2007 Mustang V6?

Freddie · 05-17-2020, 05:10 PM

If I read the stock car classification correctly, this should fit O - P/SA. however the question I have is under the classification is reads ESI (Engine specs Incomplete, but it gives a HP rating of 210 and a weight of 3345 for the rag top. Is this a legal combination to race with or is it not allowed due to the ESI designation?

You would need to contact the Tech Dept. and get someone to put the engine specs in the guide. Until that happens, the combo isn't approved.

Umm, I was corrected about the way to get your combo put in the guide. You would have to contact someone from FFFord and ask them to submit the specs to the Tech Dept..

Yes, you have to contact somebody at Ford that will send in the info to the tech dept. When I got the 2003 Mustang stuff put in the guide, Jesse Kershaw was the contact at Ford racing and he was a great help. I would try to contact Ford racing.

I'm a little lost here.
I need more details regarding that post.
Since this car is in the official NHRA Stock Car Classification Guide, rules says: "Only those cars listed in the guide are "eligible" for competition". This car is in the guide, so it become OK. There nothing in the rulebook regarding ESI. (May be I mist something here?)
Now if I go to the Blueprinting paragraph:
Stock factory OEM components (unless otherwise specified)must be retained and remain unaltered.
This tell me that when ESI are not available from Ford or NHRA, you must keep OEM components.
Thank you in advance for your precious help,

There are lots of combinations in the Class Guide that are like that. If there are no engine specs, then you cannot race it in Stock or normal SS classes. You can use it to build a SS/GT car or an SS/Modified car. Usually that is why the combination is there.
