Here ya go:

Stock
4 BBL 440- Must be claimed as a GTX, but the class will be D/E/F stick.
6 Pack Road Runner- A/B/C stick

Super Stock
4 BBL 440- Must be claimed as a GTX, G/H/I stick.
6 Pack Road Runner- F/G/H stick.

I'm not sure about the super stock engine combination's but both of the 440 combo's for stock are good. Just be ready to spend at least $35k for a good running car or who knows how much if you're planning on building one ( for stock). This stuff isn't cheap!!!!!

Go with the 383 or 426, if you do go with 440 the 4 barrel would be easier to build, but again if it has to be the six-pack get ready to haul some lead!!!
HP is 417 in a B-body and in C you need to weight a minimum of 3920, these #'s are for automatics, I don't know anyone running this combo with a stick or if you would want to!!!!
