And yes, although not very common, the speed manual was available in the "Squarebirds", I saw one a few weeks ago, that had a 3 speed manual with a column shifter.
The Guide (and I should mention again that I have referred to the very useful edition at Class Racer Info) provides three pages of full-size 1960 Ford combinations that are legal to use the 352/360. Likely not all were ever actually produced but you are allowed to put one together.

Factors range from the Series 6 Custom Sedan 2 Dr MT @ 10.12 (D/E/F) to the Country Squire 4 Dr Nine Seat Station Wagon AT @ 12.03 (H/I/J)

This time I thought I would bring up a combo from a make that is only in the Guide for six years, the Opel 1969 Kadett 2dr-sedan.

With the sole option 115/102 inline 4cyl 2bbl, and a 18.30 factor, the car fits the following classes (MT or AT):

Stock
17.00 Q @ 1904 C&D
18.00 R @ 2006
19.00 S @ 2108
Super Stock
17.00 P @ 1904

Nice little cars but I don't think it'll run under the T/Stock index ( No S class in Stock)
unless it has a JATO engine up the tail pipe..
If you still want to be a glutton for punishment , you could find a GT and run V /Stock , which is not a V8 class.

Has anyone ever tried to make a 2.8/PFI run competitively in a 3rd Gen F-Body?

150 is kinda high for a 2.8 in RWD. The same engine in a Cavalier is 125 , with a .430 lift cam and a softer index.
It will still run under the index, but not by a lot.

There's one in Central PA. Car is still raced, saw it at Beaver Springs a couple months ago. It's been a while since they ran it in Stock though...5-10 years? 390, stick car, ran in L/S.
