The weight and horsepower factors should be the same today as they were back in the day, so the '56 Corvette with the 225 HP 265 CI Automatic @ 2844 lbs had a factor of 12.64 pounds per horsepower. According to the 1966 NHRA rule book, that would be a G/SA @ 12.50 to 13.99 lb/hp. Sounds like a fun project!
