powerslide91 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I'm toying with the idea of using a '71 Firebird chassis I have around for an AI car. One of the questions I have is I understand that aftermarket blocks are not allowed, and rule 7.11.1 states that factory pieces (like an LS1) are legal. So; Can I put an LS1 engine into a 2nd gen Firebird? Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 This rule seems to make no sense. Why are the bowtie's allowed to run an Aluminum block and the ford guys cannot run the Ford Motorsport Aluminum 5.0L block? They are both factory peices, the difference is that the ford one never made it into a production car? Please advise. BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pederb Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Brian, You answered you own question. The alu 5.0 has never been in a production model, but I sure wish it had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racercosmo Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 And you can also use an ZL-1 427 in that car, but I'd guess you'd need to restrict it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAI Racing Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Someone needs to do a car "Pro-Touring" style... Step up and hang a couple of hair dryers on an LS-6. A twin-turbo AIX car would be r-a-d! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racercosmo Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Nobody ever got back to me when I asked if swapping a Rover block into an early Buick with a 215 was legal. Let's say I was to run this car: The rover blocks are more readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
