Question about classing a body/engine combo?

New guy/lurker:

Hello everyone, I've searched the threads and I'm trying to get my head around weight/Hp in stock eliminator relative to body/HP/class. Example:
69 Nova 396/350 (340)(natural E) to run F/SA I would need to be 3740 lbs. to be legal weight wise? A 68 396-SS 396/325 Chevelle(natural F) would have to be 3719lbs (3549+170) minimum for F/SA? A 69 Camaro 350/255 (280)(natural E) would need to be 3110lbs. to run F/SA? Is this correct or am I factoring wrong? I've been listening and doing research on F/SA. I'm leaning towards the Nova BBC but parts availibilty is my concern, although I love the Chevelle as a natural F. Any help would be appreciated, I apologise a head of time if I over stepped myself or confused you all. Thanks.

69 nova is correct- 68 Chevelle is 3582.5lb. for F/SA and 69 Camaro is a natural G car.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. I got a little confused with the shipping weight in the highlighted section. This is an awesome site and hopefully if the coin is right I may be able to rub shoulders with you guys someday at a race.
