I always wondered what would happen if I showed up at a SS meet with a '65 Rambler American with a 270" Jeep motor...

It is technically a six cylinder Mopar...
As you know it's NOT a slant six. I tried the same sort of logic with my Ford as it does have GM ign and driveline center carrier bearing, wasn't allowed to run in the GM meet. :lol: :lol:

C and D unlimited might be tough for you Nick. I may have to circle a few straps around the oil pan and valve cover to keep the thing together.

don't worry I'll hold it together the new motor is going to be a forged crank motor with good rods, billet main caps and a girdle,oh and its going to be a 198 :D :D . not to mension the ram is going on a 500 pound diet :twisted:

It seems this discussion has had lots of input, and agreement.

I propose we make these new classes final and incorporate into the rulebook.

Thanks,

Lou

Not so much a "Rulebook" as a set of rules that's been printed in SSRN a few times. :wink:

Yes, reprinted in SSRN. We could post a copy in the articles section.

Thanks, Doc. I thought it was here somewhere.

I can work on amending these for the new record rules, or someone want to volunteer?

If I get this new tow motor, would it be possible to have a new class for 5000# and over. Ryan suggested that I race it before I tear the engine out! :D New class could be for Tow motors, 2 ton dualies, and motor homes! If Lou agrees I'll race it at Hagerstown in May! Then my truck won't look so slow! :lol:
