anyone know this guy?

I gotta side with the minority here. Until you try and run a Stock, Super Stock Class to "complain" that somehow the guy is doing something "less then honest" by calling his car "stock" is just short-sighted. I think some of the more learned here are giving the wrong impression when they say that the parts aren't stock. Reality is yeah...the parts might not have come from Ma Mopar, but this became a necessity as try and find a NOS set of stage 3 426 pistons...back in the seventies when we were racing SS/EA pieces were already coming hard to come by. Before anyone corrects me in SS/EA we didn't have to run stock pistons, but "Stockers" did. Through lobbying the stockers of today run an after-market piston, but they are still regulated and scrutinized by NHRA. It's not like these pistons are full-race 400gram any configuration goes. Had this not happened, there would be even fewer Mopars competing in these classes. Same with the cams. Early on the "Stockers" actually knew how to degree a cam and understood things such as lobe centers. Early rules stated as long as lift and duration were stock, NHRA was happy. The winners were the ones that took these "Stock" specifications and worked with them.

One last thing to think about is someone had mentioned heads/head work/CC's. Using the same basis as above, how many virgin stage 3 heads are still around that haven't had so many valve jobs that now the valves set just south of China. As with the piston senario, ideally you want the same area c.c.'s or in the case of the pistons you want the same/lightest weight. In a Chevy to make it stock, like most call stock here, all I'd have to do is sort thru 30 sets of heads or 30 sets of pistons to come up with a more perfect match of serial numbered pieces...try doing that with a 340.
