Anyone else find a "all 6 cylinder NOC" statement? I  only found the "all 8
cyl" one. I would vote for (as if I had a vote!) G Stock locally, anyway.

I used to drag race those cars with the slant six many moons ago - even had
one of the original factory long ram "Hyper-Pak" intakes (ala Daytona origins).

Seems to me that they (the 1962-64 Valiants) were more like 2400#-2500#. 

The 1964 6 cyl. Valiant by the 1968 Bluebook shows 2525#.  The 65 6 cyl.
Barracuda shows as 2747#. (do NOT ask why I have Bluebooks that old.....).
