Carburetors...

[lsrjunkie]

Boy Stan, that would be pretty nice if I could. My "interpretation" of the rules may be off. Guess that's why there is contact info in the rule book for the tech officials...

Just another instance of yours truly putting the cart before horse...

Thanks to Sid and Stan I just had a nice conversation with Mike Stewart. A carburetor may not be in my future after all.

Joe-

I also misread or misinterpreted the rule book.
You can run anything in non-vintage classes.  (Sect. 2.A.1 Last paragraph)
Your body won't qualify for vintage and your engine won't qualify as classic.

Keep it up

. . . and there are no Classic Comp Coupes, anyway.

Why does his engine not "qualify as classic"? Engine swaps are allowed in GC and Alt, in fact are part of the definition there of. the no /CC  issue has been covered. If he does go to EFI then yes, goes to Modified category and can't run XO.

[Stan Back]

The car's built as a Comp Coupe.

There are NO Classic Comp Coupes.

Vintage engines (XO) don't have to adhere to the Classic or Vintage engine rules when running in Comp Coupe (and Lakester and Streamliner for that matter).

[lsrjunkie]

Exactly Stan!

It took some correspondence with Mike Stewart for me to figure out the same thing.

My understanding of the rules in the "modified" category is this, The more modifications that are done to a car, the more the class changes. For example, a gas coupe would be a car with a non stock engine swap. An altered is the same car with the engine setback farther than stock and the grill and headlights removed. And a competition coupe is is all of the above with the front of the car stretched out to next week.
