Minimum weight in NHRA SS/GT

This is a dream build as I am relegated to spectator for a long while. I know the rulebook makes mention of 2,650 as the minimum weight is that for FWD conversions only or is that for factory RWD cars? I would like to get a try and get a low HP 302 combo and put it in a flyweight car. I was thinking a 82 mustang 302 in a 61 Falcon. Is that legal given a shipping weight of 2,250 and a GT factored 302 at 157 gives you a race weight of 2,200 plus the 170 for the driver. Would this be a legal combination, I understand that getting a 61 Falcon to 2,200lbs would be impossible but I am just curious how flyweight a GT car can be. Thank
