6130 was my Division 6 NHRA Pro ET number through the 1990 season. I had a little Mazda rotary-powered door car that would roughly approximate a C/MC car of that vintage.

Also, note that the camshafts are different between the '66 and the later 327-275's.
Thanks. I registered, and started poking around. Currently exploring the '63-'64 Dodge 330 and 440 wagons, equipped with "425 horsepower" 426 engines, which at just less than 9 pounds per factored horsepower, should make them natural "B" cars, that could be adjusted to run "A" or "C".

I don't know Dodges well. Is that the 8-barrel Max Wedge RB engine?

Yes, you are correct. My question was specifically about Stock Eliminator station wagons that were quick in terms of low(ish) ETs, regardless of index.
Work with us a little bit here.
Brand preference, size of wallet, etc.
You can run a 66 Fairlane SW, 427 /410 in C/SA
Max Wedge wagons run those classes too.
Sound good?

Bingo. Thank you, Mark. I gotta go look up that '66 Fairlane wagon 427/410.

Not willing to spend as much as it would take to set a record in any particular class, but it would be silly to buy or build something that wouldn't at least run under index.

I don't really have much brand preference. I like oddball cars. Heck, I'd be interested in an SS/VX car, if I thought they were capable of going rounds...

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.

Take a look at the '63 Biscayne wagon with either the 409-400 (365) or the 425 (385). The 425 horse can run D and the 400 goes E at virtually the same weight. One of those with a well done 3 spd. auto would be fun. Denny Ford runs a '62 409/409 sedan.

And 409 parts are more plentiful and a bunch cheaper than the Max Wedge or big Ford stuff.

If you want fast for index, Downings wagon ran 1.13 under Thursday, 15000. buys it. They are in Michigan, someone else is interested, I have messaged Charlie 3 times about it and even made an offer that he refused.
