I am building a 1956 Corvette with a stock 265ci, 2-4s and I would like to know if anyone knows what letters I should put on the window if I were to run in the stock class in the late '50s-'60s (A/S, B/S, C/S etc.) or something else. After looking up some #s, I come up with 2730 lbs. (curb wt.) @ 240HP. Thanx in advance.

Easy to register for Dwight's excellent resource....you'll have subsequent questions and with his 'tool' it's easy to investigate.

Unless I misunderstood the question, it is what class WOULD it have run back in the late 60's-early 70's ?
Not todays class. Someone have an old classification guide? |

The weight and horsepower factors should be the same today as they were back in the day, so the '56 Corvette with the 225 HP 265 CI Automatic @ 2844 lbs had a factor of 12.64 pounds per horsepower. According to the 1966 NHRA rule book, that would be a G/SA @ 12.50 to 13.99 lb/hp. Sounds like a fun project!
