I like your ideals,the spec head,I believe is the equalizer between brands,and best for cost.
I think two things that would be required though are high side rev limiter,and wheelie bars,I like the ideal of 14X32 tire rule like SS has that Dick added,does'nt mean you have to use 14X32 but that is biggest you can use.
High side limiter is money saver,when you are spinning stick car wide open on starting line and break on launch,rev limiter will save bottom end,and will get you out w/bent valves at the worst.
I believe running mod type car w/out wheelie bars is risky and I don't know of any good reason not to have them.

Pictures of Granny Goose car brings back memories,My Dad has told story as long as can remember,about one of his favorite wins,was big race @ Mt. Park he beat the Granny Goose car in 1/4 finals and had bye to finals and was gave option to set it out so he was sitting in lanes wating for final round,Dave Lewis came over pulled money out of pocket and said this car ain't legal,my Dad said I tell you what pull yours over hear and you pull a bolt and I'll pull a bolt,he said Dave put his money back in his pocket and walked off.
