I re-read the thread, didn't see this one listed...

How about a 95 Mustang V6?

145 HP... 2970 pounds

Can these be made to run under?

No engine specs...therefore no factored hp...and it wouldn't be 145

You would have to get Ford to present it to the NHRA I believe or maybe you can ask them nicely to add it

Claim it as a '94 and you're set.
Factored @ 170 hp.
Strangely enough, I was looking at this exact combo out today.
Valve sizes are close to the 5.0.
Cam lift is fairly close as well.
However, it's limited to a 50 mm throttle body.

It's natural class is Q/SA...13.80 index.

I can't help but believe this combo might be tough to make competitive.
