Seems this would make sense. There probably aren't a dozen of these cars in the whole country anyway. I'd love to piece together a 289/271 hp engine for my Mustang II. Too expensive for a bracket engine.
Could also see this class as a way to revive the old Formula Stock rules. That ship sailed long ago. Besides the purists would squeal too loud. Like the fwd and foreign cars, don't want to open up the class for further participation.
Still working on my U/SA car.
