You can do a little research on your own here. First, go to the IHRA website, do a search for their technical information. Find out what Chrysler crate motors are available. Get the horsepower ratings. Next go to the NHRA website and look up the "stock" car classification guide. IHRA doesn't publish theirs online. You can use this to find out the weight of your car. You can take that weight, divide it by the different HP factors of your desired crate engine(s). This will tell you where your car falls class wise. If you don't have a rulebook, PM me with some of the information and I would be glad to assist you in figuring a little of this out.

You can use some of this to compare your combination to the class index(s). Then look for cars running that class and see if your combination is capable of running in those classes.

I'm in the process of attempting to start a crate stocker myself.
