I had this same scenario come to mind about 15 years ago when I first thought about doing a Class car. The thought was to run a 1982 or '83 AMC Spirit with the carbureted 2.5 GM Iron Duke engine and a 5 speed they used in those years. Being uninformed, I even acquired a suitable car to follow through with. But once I ordered the Classification sheets by mail back then, found out neither year was listed in the guide and that dream got scrapped.
What are the hopes of something like this combo ever getting approved in today's NHRA world? Both the engine and the car body are already fully documented in the guide in different aspects. But good luck finding an AMC liason to help grease the squeaky wheel if it has to come to that!
