If you want to qualify well and go racing for a while with the same combination, build a little neon 2dr with the 09 or so 360 @ 275 hp.
Start out in GT/CA and work your way up to GT/AA. If I was a mopar guy I would be on it, but got other things I'm working on. The cars don't have to be 2500 ship weight anymore, just weight in at min. 2670. I'm not a ford guy either, but you got to hand it to Jim Evanuik, his ZX2 is sharp and fast.

If I were building one:

Ford, Escort ZX2, like Jim Evanuik. 351 like his, or a 352 crate.

Mopar, Dodge Stratus with a smog 340/240-280 motor or a DP motor..

GM: no real preference....we have enough Cobalt/Cavalier/Sunfire/G5 cars. It would have to be something rare (like the Caddy of Ken Sharp). maybe an Olds Alero.

The late model Chevy, BOP, Caddy.

Cheap and current

One more vote for the Escort ZX2...maybe with a '69-'70 Boss 302? Or a 4.6 CJ???

So glad you asked...
Have to go with a Korean LeMans with 400 Pontiac rated low enough to keep it in GT/AA.
I haven't worked out the rear wheel opening arrangement yet..
