Toyota Decals on a Hemi..........
OK, Ill sleep better tonight.Toyota Decals on a Hemi..........
According to the NHRA rule book only one engine is legal for top fuel and funny car...the specs for the engine are based on the hemi.....put any decal on it you want....chevy..ford toyota....kia... it is still a hemi..
Yes, the basic architecture of the engine is somewhat based on a 426 Hemi. Now 500 c.i. I think it is possible that Toyota, Chevy, Ford, even Dodge (?) has helped develop some trick parts for these totally aftermarket engines. I'm sure NHRA doesn't tell the teams where the parts have to come from. As long as the engine meets "specs" that's all that matters (hopefully). You've got companies like BME making pistons, rods, and superchargers. Donovan Engineering, Dart, TFX, Brad Anderson Eng., Alan Johnson, and more make blocks. Sid Waterman fuel systems. Heads, valves, cranks, cams, other stuff... who knows? I'll bet those car makers with their huge engineering resources are helping to design some stuff these days.According to the NHRA rule book only one engine is legal for top fuel and funny car...the specs for the engine are based on the hemi.....put any decal on it you want....chevy..ford toyota....kia... it is still a hemi..
i have not been paying attention. when did this happen? i had to go look it up. you are correct
Basically any and all items on the car must be approved by nhra .....
Of course. But that doesn't mean that some Toyota/Chevy/*** designed parts are not being approved and used. NASCAR has the same sort of rules and allows GM/Ford/Toyota to design their own engines as long as whatever they come up with is approved by NASCAR.
And the "decals" ain't foolin' no one .
Huh? Why?Ford had changed the block to accept Ford OEM main bearings when they were sponsoring Force.
Huh? Why?
