I remember Car Craft built up a 5.0 to race. I remember reading the rules, but this was some time ago.

It has to be equiped with a manual trans, no auto. It has to have the correct engine, which means that if you use a third gen, that means 305. Now they dont break down the engine as there is some sort of honor system saying you have a 305 engine, but you have to have it stock appearing.
This puts third gens at a disadvantage unless you build up 302, bore it out to .020 or so, and you have a 305 or in that range...
LT1 and LS1 cars have the power advantage, but they are given restrictor plates and other power robbing things to even the field out.
Id like to find a V6 car and just go to town on it. Some other rag was doing an article abotu some high school in Cali who was going to give it a shot. They were welding all the sheetmetal seams together for strength, giving it a tubular kmemeber from Spohn, and some other goodies.
