after being interested in rally racing for so long, I'm gonna finally take the first step towards actually doing it. Later this year I hope to be doing some SCCA RallyCross-ing.
I'm gonna take some kinda RWD Mopar RALLY RACING! it turns out after checking the rule books for SCCA Rallycross and Rally America, I can "legally" put a 383 into the LeBaron (or any other classic Mopar).
they have a displacement formula that they use to make sure everything's kosher within the rally world, turns out the FIA uses it too.
the limit is 5100cc, but they use a multiplier based on the type of engine it is.
for turbo/supercharged engines its the displacement x 1.8, for pushrods it's 0.8
so I found a site that did displacement conversions, and a 383 is 6274cc. 6274 x .8 = 5019cc!
so once I get the car prepped, the rally world can once again hear some Mopar big block thunder!
EDIT: the car's still gonna be used for drifting and auto-x-ing too, I just need an "all-around" oriented car.
