The way I see it, a single plane intake, healthy cam, trans brake ,and ditch the alternator...easy half second under SS car,...if that's your pleasure.

Yeah, that sounds reasonable to me.

I can remember a few Stockers running in SS, still in legal Stock form.Two I can remember right off were Lindy Lindholm, with his Stock Bird, before it was stolen, & Chris Stephenson with his '68 Bird.

IIRC, they weren't very far under the index, but enuff to have won, if they didn't have a heads-up round.

I'm guessing that most any of the mid 10 sec Pontiac Stockers could easily run their SS index, some without any changes at all.

The D/SA, E/SA, & G/SA Stockers would only need to run 1 sec under, to run their SS index.

And, as Mark said, with a few of the legal changes, it shouldn't be too hard to get a good Stocker quick enuff to run SS. And, since there are plenty of Stockers running low 10's & high 9's with only Cal-Trac bars & 9" slicks, that same set-up should be good enuff for a mid to low 10's SS car. Larry Maxwell is running high 10's with what appears to be a Stock type set-up, in his 350 powered '68 GT Bird.

Don't see a need for fancy high dollar suspension & big tires, unless you just have lots of money & wanna go quicker.
