Probably something really slow. That turbo PT Cruiser blasted the index a year or so ago. I think it went something like -1.8 under the index. It must have gotten a bunch of HP since I haven't heard of it since.

5.0 Mustang 87 to 89 with automatic. Real fast for the money.

What are your parameters? 4 cyl? inline 6 ?, V6 ? V8?....... V10? Some people will race a 16 second car if they think they can win with it...while some others have to have a 10 second car, whether they go rounds with it or not..

Probably one of the worst cars for V/SA...2 speed, small cam ,small carb.
If you 're in love with the car, you should make it a 64 and put a 283 in it for J,K,L. There are plenty of guys on here that can help you with that one.. You're not going to slap together a cheap 283 and be competitive in those classes though... You still haven't defined "cheap" from your perspective...
