6. Obviously, only carburation, though you can use more than an updraft.
7. Mechanical fuel pumps are acceptable?
In reply to Apexcarver :
11. If you’re injured by said starter, you get free refills for the period of the race
I don’t think alt vs. generator, fuel pump type, etc should make a difference, since neither really changes the driver experience or the aesthetic.
For sure, no fenders. Just so nobody shows up with an ACVW, which meets the letter of the rules here but definitely not the spirit.
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
I think generally banning any engine newer than 1960 may be necessary, as an LS might squeak by the pushrod rule… Certainly makes it interesting to figure out a build.
I mean, nothing later than 1950 would be great, but likely hard to do in budget
Although I admit to loving me some of this…
In reply to Apexcarver :
No V engines unless the design is from before 1950? That would allow Flathead Fords (which would be cool) but also more “modern” inline engines like…. um… how about a Ford 170 six with a gaggle of SU carbs brazed to the intake manifold?
