Folks,
An x-circle driver has a scatter shield for sale that will fit the "D" Chev
engine that I am building. I sent him a quote from the regulations about
the configuration of the shield and he sent me back the following message:
"Hummm... The scatter shield I have is, I assume, forged steel and is NHRA
approved and stamped as such. It is a 360 degree design with a removable
lower section which allows for a clutch change without removing the
bellhousing. Do your rules reference "NHRA APPROVED" as acceptable? This
is from Ansen, made in the late sixties I believe. It is heavy, at least
1/2" thick. Lakewood came out with a stamped steel unit in the early 70's
that was lighter. I think all the stuff now days is the stamped steel
type."
My guess is that it is NOT acceptable if infact it is forged. Anyone got a
guess on the shield he has passing tech inspection?
