New question for a noob

To clarify, if it is 440HP then it would be 440x8.0+170 or 3690 total weight with driver for A/S or A/SA. B/S would be 3910.
If it is a natural "A" car (which it would be if 8.36 is correct) then I would assume AA/SA would be acceptable since you can move up or down one class. Check with NHRA on that since AA/SA is a new class. If it is capable of AA/SA, you better shoot for deep into the 9's!

You are way better off building a '71.
I know I did it years ago. (Stagg Chili) held B/SA record.
Very favorable hp.
Nearly the identical engine.
Only have to change bumpers and headlight doors from dbl to single.
