Well my question that i've asked other racers, is to go to SS/GT, using a 70 Cuda 440-6Pak in my 65 Coronet. The 440 is rated at 390 factory, and 405 NHRA in SS. I just can't afford the Hemi.The 440 would cost about 1/3 the price of the Hemi! What G/T class would my tank fit in ? Thanks in advance John Lang # 365 SS/CA

To further the question, do you calculate the shipping weight of the car at the original HP or the updated/refined HP to calculate for a GT class? My 1970 AMX with a 390/325/315 falls at 9.92 or 11.15 with a 360/290/280 (only two engines available in 1970). NHRA doesn't list car's by shipping weight. Do you take 9.92 x 325 or 315 and no allowance for driver weight? Or do you use 11.15?
I'm assuming John Lang will need the formula for his 1965 Coonet also.
