The rules governing the "Gold Medallion" cars are very strict, the car must be nearly an exact copy of the original in period car, including components and construction materials. The standard "BP Group 6" rules which apply to 289 Cobra based cars is very forgiving comparatively.

In the BP class as long as you run the proper displacement, conventional electronic distributor, iron heads and an iron block you can pretty much get away with most any other modifications you want.
