All cylinder blocks must be identified with a manufacturer’s name.
CYLINDER HEAD
All heads must be NHRA accepted. Head may be an OEM production casting or a casting or machined billet part based on the production design. Only those heads submitted by the OEM manufacturer will be considered for acceptance. Chambers may be modified to accommodate bore spacing of block. Head must be identified with a manufacturer’s part/casting number.
CAMSHAFT(S) / VALVE TRAIN
OEM valve angles +/- 2 degrees mandatory. As with all engines in PSM, variable cam timing devices and/or gear drives are prohibited. Cam(s) must be driven by chain or belt only. Production, cam drive location mandatory. Only conventional coil spring type valve train permitted; pneumatic or other type valve trains prohibited.
CRANKSHAFT
One-piece, steel crankshaft with conventional journal bearings mandatory.
