One of the previously mentioned Max Wedge wagons that runs in C/SA:

Note: I had a 77 Rotary pick up with a 13B. Awesome motor.

There was also Jimi Vignogna's Behemoth 62 Dodge wagon which ran C or D/SA with a 413/ 395 ? Still being raced by Carl Roberts in the midwest. I have seen that car go 10's

If you want to run a Chevy a combination I stumbled on in building my 1965 Impala 396/325 car, there was also a one year 396/425 option , factored back to 395 HP , 405 with aluminum heads. In a wagon it would be a E/S car.

Yes they were.

My car was pretty crude and didn't cost a lot of money, but I raced it twice a week for 10 years, and had a lot of fun along the way. Incredibly reliable, required almost no maintenance, and only burned about a gallon of pump 87 unleaded a week. It started out as my work commuter, and then one thing led to another. I built the 12A engine on a kitchen chair in my house. I kept it down to 9,000 rpms, because the entire rotating assembly was stock. 6.17 gears and 25.5" slicks. It ran high 11s with a little 4776 Holley carb and an open header with a megaphone, at full weight. It was the only car in my class that was not an American V8. Hiked the tires in the first three gears, fantastically loud, and shot flames 20 feet behind the car when I let off at the top end. I probably won more races due to how distracting the car was, rather than any actual skill that I may or may not have had, and I was in the money regularly.

I would consider selling my V/SA Aspen wagon. It will need a little work to get going again but nothing to hard or expensive. 6k with all Slant 6 parts I have or 9k with a good legal and fast 360 combo.

What class does the legal and fast 360 combo run, and how far under does it run?

If I buy or build a wagon, it will definitely be in woodie livery.

Now I gotta go look up the fastest Olds Vista Cruiser wagon.

Looks like the '70 Vista Cruiser wagon with the 455/365 engine is an H/I/J car...
