Expanded Blueprint Specs:

  • The first thing you will notice is a whole lot more data than you get from the NHRA Tech Bulletins pages. That is why individual engines are shown rather than every available engine for the year-make.
  • The additional data that is not included on the NHRA Tech Bulletins pages is not authorized or approved by NHRA so do not assume that this has the same authority in those areas as the information on the official NHRA Technical Bulletins. The data from the NHRA web Technical Bulletins is included here and every effort is made to ensure that this data is the most up to date information published by NHRA.
  • An interesting tool is the link on the right side of the page to show all the cars that use the engine you have selected. You will find that information valuable in considering options for class placement for this engine.
  • You will find all the relavent information from NHRA for accepted replacement parts - pistons, rods, oil pans, etc. - is all located in this one page. You do not have to look anywhere else to find that information.
