The thought of doing stage rally in aluminum kirkeys..... :O
Anyone have any idea where I can find an old rulebook for the SCCA Clubrally? On a related note, I WAS going to build a roller 5.0 for my rally Mustang...
In reply to FIYAPOWA :
I don't know about finding the old rulebook, but I've had two clubrally cars grandfathered into the current ruleset so I'm somewhat familiar with what the standards used to be and how that translates to the current sanctioning bodies, as are some others here. What did you want to know?
In reply to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :
Nothing specific, but one of my projects is a "historic" SCCA rally car which I am trying to restore back to its former glory (within reason). That being said, since it's kind of a clean slate with most of the original parts missing, I'm willing to take some liberties. In this article, the "SCCA limit of 389 cubic inches" stuck out to me, so I'm a little curious what a ragged edge of the rule book build would look like...
I believe the displacement adjustment chart hasn't changed much, if at all, so for Group 5 you have a maximum of 5100cc with a multiplier of 0.8 for pushrod engines, so up to 6375cc if you keep it pushrod and N/A. You could do whatever you want to the internals within that displacement.
Great example of a Grassroots build that is well engineered

I was digging through one of my toolboxes and found a CD of the 2003 SCCA ClubRally/ProRally/RallyCross rules. I’m pretty sure I’ll never need them so it’s yours if you like it. Let me know.
Interesting article about Mike & his Mustang. I've gotten to know Mike & Rob at S.T.P.R. here in Pennsylvania. Great rally guys !!

Got THAT right. I had one in my autocross SHO, then transplanted it to my STI, both with coilovers, and long distances were NOT fun. Bought some extra pillows but that still didn't make it anywhere near "comfortable".
Clutch rated to 3500 lb-in?
That's an odd metric.
The time I thought about adding light coil-overs to my Fairmont, and keeping springs in the factory location, I got laughed at and people shook their heads. I'm glad I wasn't the idiot everyone thought I was. I never did do it, but at least it wasn't a bad idea.
This car is awesome. I remember reading about a similar notchback rally Mustang way back in the day, but it was yellow. Not sure if repainted or different car.
Anyhow, I would love to build something like this for rallycross or just general hoonage.
Front upper control arms? A front SLA setup is expensive for such a build, unless it was adapted from a Thunderbird or Mark VIII?
In reply to FIYAPOWA :
I have scca pro rally rules 1980-85. Should have some from the 70s. I also have the NARRA rules from 79.
Those years we had the open class and the production class. Neither mentioned engine size.
And just saw scca rally regulations 1969 edition....price $.50 is also here.
