Scouring the NHRA classification guides for a particular car
I've been comparing rear wheel drive station wagons with two pedals, that are fast, or at least fast-ish.
And I am finding that scouring the classification guides can be quite time consuming... If I'm reading the guides correctly, the '66 Chevy II wagon with a 275 horsepower 327 is a natural G/SA car, and could run F/SA if it could be build light enough. What else should I be looking at? Something reasonably affordable (within the context of NHRA Stock Eliminator racing), or at least not obscenely expensive, would be a bonus. Last edited by 6130; 03-26-2018 at 06:00 AM.

66 Chevy 2 wagon 275 car (rated at 274) would be a Natural G car. Can move weigh to run F or H. *** I was thinking this motor was rated 271? Hmmm

Re: Scouring the NHRA classification guides for a particular
If you're considering an automatic car, there are 2 Malibu wagons for sale in the for sale section. One is dirt cheap, the other is running a second under at this years gators. Also another at a second under. There's a guy out west that does very well with one of these. Running F,G or H with a 327 wagon , high 10's low 11's will not be a cheap date.

Dwight's Stock/Super Stock classification/tech. site will simplify the process for you.

Yes, you are correct. My question was specifically about Stock Eliminator station wagons that were quick in terms of low(ish) ETs, regardless of index.
