I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but you're not going to be able to turn that car into a Stocker with that kind of budget.

They're correct. Stock Eliminator is very expensive. You didn't list your location ... are you close to IHRA tracks? Pure Stock might be an option. I'm not familiar with your combination but some headers, gear, converter, wheels, tires, ... can be done for under $10K and you may run the index.

they only made 2175 totalSX cars in 1971 and about 875 were Convertibles--kinda a rare car--- might just wanna keep it the way it is and look for something else--- just take it out for a blast every so often I think I might be inclined to think that way--FED387

If I were you I would not turn a rare car like yours into a drag car. I would look onto the Racing Junk website and try to find an existing car for
$10-12K and save yourself a lot of work along with messing up a rare car.
