It is legal for stock. I got that info out of the classification guide.

And I agree with Phil: as fast as Barton made the single-4 bbl. motor go I'm sure the 2x4 version would be a terror. I don't know about 8's, but definitely fast. Would weigh 3320 in BB/SA. Going to need to make somewhere in the neighborhood of 840-850 hp to get there and I don't know if that happens with a "stock" head and flat-tappet lifters.
