The engine swap in GT came about to allow older SS cars to improve and keep up with modern engines. Before GT, a Nova or Mustang was limited to model year correct power plants.
In short, a Nova with an LS engine makes sense to me and a Sunfire with an LS doesn't.

I really don't like piling on HP in a vintage car and being limited to stock front suspension. There are bracket cars with better and safer front ends than my 68 Mustang.
Your confusion is that Super Stock, although it is a class, it is also a category, just like Stock Eliminator is a category with Stock class, Trucks class, FWD class and Factory Stock.

As I said earlier, yes, RWD in SS/GT and Modified should have the same liberties as the FWD.

By the way, there are front suspension components for your Mustang, used by many in Super Stock that are legal in your car.and the cost is lower than a pair of Santhuff or Lamb struts with springs as used by many in Stock, Super Stock and Factory Stock.
