Strictly speaking I don't think they are D2/Speed2 legal as the technique of connecting to the torque tube via a u-joint off of the countershaft puts the crankshaft too far to the left (D2 rules mandate a 1" offset for shaft-driven cars).
Ah, the rules. Oh well thanks for the response, I appreciate it. Does anyone allow stock block/head V6's to compete anywhere? Like Buick 3800 or GM 4.3's
