It's the clearinghouse for all things land speed racing.

I do have an account there, and searched. I did find a subaru...

Well you have a couple of issues with your choice of vehicle. First and foremost is the all wheel drive configuration. AWD is NOT allowed in any coupe or sedan class be it Gas Coupe (GC), Fuel or Gas Altered (FALT or GALT) or even Competition Coupe (GCC or FCC) or any of their blown designations. The only all wheel drive coupes (or sedans or wagons) are in the Production category.

Take a close look at the rules on the Production category. I am not an expert and certainly not an official but (that said) I think that all the variants of the Subaru DOHC boxer 4 motor are probably legal in the production category for your WRX. It is probably paramount to using a different year and size small block chevy in a "production' chevrolet. (i.e. using a 283 V8 in a 55 chevy that only came with the 265 V8.)

Another thing to consider is that the engine size you have selected is alot smaller than the 3 litre maximum for that class.

Good luck with whatever you build and whatever class you end up in.

that limits rules to production. I'll keep digging, thanks for replies

This was from 2009 - but I'm sure it's wrong, being an EJ25 Subi. I'm guessing I should care for some reason about the "3 main" - which amazingly enough, makes about as much sense to me on this particular forum as arguing the need for needle bearing'd crankshafts on a Weedeater motor and why your weedeater should have a fully supported crankshaft.

I'll bite - what is it that you find so freaking amazing about a 3 bearing four cylinder?

if one does not know 3 main boxers, then you do not know engines. go back to you defended ever common stampede and pretend your one of the big guys ok tough guy?

84hp liquid 2wd, is 115mph..

you know why it stops at 115 mph? it needs another gear.

There should be a world record written someplace.

ferdinand himself has one with the ever flawed air cooled and permanent bad homogeny.
the drag racers...
