So they ran more than 2 to help with heat. As far as coilovers went, I know Savage did not consider a coilover on the front of a Ford in 7s legal in 2000, but had been run on several 8s prior to that as legal for their open class. I think the key became whether they used 1 or multiple. Superhunky ran into this problem with the multiple coilovers on the Class 3 Bronco, but it was never an issue with the Vessels Chevy cantilever 8. I doubt NORRA or anyone else racing vintage now would complain about a coilover shock (like a 2.5 with another 2.5 smooth body) on the front of a Ford. Just don't get carried away with a 3.0 coilover and a 4.4 bypass and try to pass it off as vintage.</p></blockquote><p></p>
