This car has a whopping 30.38 factor in Stock, putting it in W/S or W/SA (At -561lb from shipping weight)

In Super Stock, the engine is re-rated to 100hp with a factor of 26.73. That puts it into SS/P or SS/PA (At -973lb from shipping weight)
Looks like a great candidate for " X/Stock" to me ;-)

I think you could get it within 200 lbs. It would still run under the index.
I had to put over 400 # in my 80 HB to make 3000.
