IIRC the NHRA rules meant a Formula 350 could be run as a Formula 455;
Since NHRA events basically have weight minimums; an aircleaner - what's that!? and few vehicles have much of an interior, so who really cares what hood it has(!?). Come to think of it, I believe NHRA allows any factory classified drivetrain by the car, for the model year - And I have read of cars being run at NHRA events where the model/year of the car didn't match the model/year of the vehicle. As I have understood it, this is an example of how an NHRA style event differs from this type of "pure stock" racing; In order to run at PSMCD, your car would have to look the part - so a 1973 Formula 455 (as in SD455) would have to have the correct shaker hood... as well as a full interior. My earlier example of a '70 Formula RAIV is a completely legal NHRA vehicle, but since zero were built, they are illegal at PSMCD.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs.
