Scouring the NHRA classification guides for a particular car
 
I've been comparing rear wheel drive station wagons with two pedals, that are fast, or at least fast-ish.

And I am finding that scouring the classification guides can be quite time consuming...

If I'm reading the guides correctly, the '66 Chevy II wagon with a 275 horsepower 327 is a natural G/SA car, and could run F/SA if it could be build light enough.

What else should I be looking at? Something reasonably affordable (within the context of NHRA Stock Eliminator racing), or at least not obscenely expensive, would be a bonus.

66 Chevy 2 wagon 275 car (rated at 274) would be a Natural G car. Can move weigh to run F or H. *** I was thinking this motor was rated 271? Hmmm

If you're considering an automatic car, there are 2 Malibu wagons for sale in the for sale section. One is dirt cheap, the other is running a second under at this years gators. Also another at a second under. There's a guy out west that does very well with one of these. Running F,G or H with a 327 wagon , high 10's low 11's will not be a cheap date.

Dwight's Stock/Super Stock classification/tech. site will simplify the process for you.

Also, note that the camshafts are different between the '66 and the later 327-275's.

Getting closer with my 88 oldsmobile custom cruiser wagon in U/SA. I'm hoping for 9 under and cheap

How about a Jeep Comanche pickup? Not a wagon, but?? 1.20 under and nobody can hit your Horsepower. See my add on Racing Junk. Bob

Not really sure but I think he is talking about ”fast Stocker wagons” and not fast against the index or Cars winning alot of rounds!

Yes, you are correct. My question was specifically about Stock Eliminator station wagons that were quick in terms of low(ish) ETs, regardless of index.
