It's @ 370 all '62 models . You can thank Denny Ford

Go here, and you guys won't have to guess all the time:

-39 h.p. from NHRA is a fair amount of help, I'd say.
Still too heavy for G/Stock.
Ray and Dennis built that car when there wasn't many good tires around, no 3 to 1 first gears, etc. , plus the record was in the 13's. Also , there wasn't a Camaro in every possible class.
You'd break that think in half trying to be competitive in G/Stock , in today's world.

I saw they gave them end of year HP help.They should give them another 20hp and whatever the 62 Fords need too.
Not sure if the Mopar needs help, but why not help all the old iron?
So few of them left. Let them race!

I don't think Mr 413 needs any help

Mike in the specs it looks like they have upped the '62 380 HP 409 to 400 HP in '63 and allowed the optional carb and optional big cam from the 62. ..
Something interesting is the '62 380 HP-409 is factored @ 365 NHRA HP and the 2X4 409 HP-409is factored @ 370 NHRA HP.
The 1963 engines with the same engine specs are rated at a 400 HP ( 365 NHRA) and 425 HP ( 385 NHRA)
All are Stick shift... Wouldn't the 1962 409 HP 409 with 2x4's be the one to run? (370 NHRA Factored)
