 On a Streetstock where the rear floor bars connect to the roll cage down tube bars, can a small gusset be installed to back block the rear bars and stop having the rear bar overlapping the smaller down tubes? can the hip plate bars curve in at the rear as they do atthe front.
|
 The upper side pipes attached to the hip plates may be curved.
|
| Rule T13-1-10 (a) requires the rear floor brace to be attached to the rear rollcage down tubes. The rule does not permit the rear floor bar to be attached to gussets |

How does one "seal" a Mazda Rotory Engine as per the Stockcar Engine seal Rule? As the Mazda Rotary cannot exceed the maximum engine capacity of 241.6 CuIn. Drivers may apply to the SNZ CEO for an exemption.
What is the maximum height for a Standardstock inlet manifold on a Rover V8?
It depends which manifold you have. If the manifold was an old carburettor inlet manifold you apply rule T12-2-3 (b). The original manifold must be modified to fit a single or two barrel down draft carburettor - the rule does not give a height restriction. If the Rover inlet manifold was an EFI fuel injected manifold then you apply rule T12-2-3 (c). this rule says amoungst other things that the carburettor base measurement must be a maximum of 100mm from the top of the inlet port. As you may now realise, the carburettor manifold and EFI manifold rules are very different.

I want to machine a Toyota Quadcam Inlet Manifold to suit the Standardstock rules. The manifold is some 200mm high I want to mill the lower manifold to 70mm high. I then want to mill the upper manifold to 25mm high and then weld the adaptor plate on top.
Your questions have been sent to the Standardstock technical committee.
The Standardstock committee advise that the Toyota V8 inlet manifold can not be milled and reduced to the 70mm as requested.
I would like to build a EB Fairmont XR8 (Streetstock) for the forthcoming season. They come out with a 302 Windsor & Auto or 5 speed manual. Keeping with the same model & configuration I would like to use a 289 Windsor & Auto. The 289 also being from the Windsor family but keeping under the 290 Cubic inch rule.
The Streetstock rule below unfortunately prohibits you from using the combination you describe.
Can you provide me with cam lift specs for 6 cyl efi commodore motor so my husband can carry on with his new Streetstock car for next season or do we use the specs as listed by SNZ? Thanks
Cam lobe lift = 0.226" for your application. Please refer to 
please can you tell me if you can use a manufactured tyre with a cross groove tread pattern on streetstock. such as the Kumo powermax and some hanook tyres . both are a road tyre. not snow or mud , but once grooved are very good both on dry and wet tracks
The Streetstock rule now describes a "mud & snow" tyre, the new rule now says the groove must be less than 10mm wide or 10mm dep.
Congrats on the web site it is very informative especially as I have not got a copy of the rule book.
Will check with Ministock Subcommittee, who will reply via SNZ office.
