    That was a "3" engine code I think, 120hp. I never remember seeing many of them and there is also some transmission funny business in that the V8s had five speeds, that engine might have been four speed only. Not sure about that but that seems how I remember it.

    Anyhow, a classification request is straight forward using The Process. At 120hp:

    120hp x 1.25 x 14.5 = 2175 lbs + 50lbs for torque = 2225 lbs in ITA

    120hp x 1.25 x 12.9 = 1935 lbs + 50lbs for torque = 1985 lbs in ITS

    Maybe B would be a good fit.

    120hp x 1.25 x 16 = 2400 lbs + 50 lbs for torque = 2450 lbs in ITB. That's probably about the most realistic class as even at 2400 lbs the Fox with 3.8L won't make weight. Ron S. is at 25XX lbs with the Fox and 2.3L four cylinder, and they paid good attention to weight detail.
