Back in those days the factories needed to make 50 cars, in each brand, with special race only packages, to be legal for NASCAR and NHRA hence the 1968 Hemi A bodies and the COPO 427 Camaro in 1968 and the M code 1969 A body 440 engine cars and the 427 Fairlanes and Comets work NHRA has never been very friendly with Mopar or Mopar racers rant down
I remember being told that the M code 440 cars A bodies weren't allow to race in "Stock" in 1973 and maybe up to 1980 because they where a SS only package according to NHRA tech at that time shock work
Things change in NHRA politics hence the 427 Ford 410 HP 427 Fairlanes being allowed to race is A/S in 1974 shruggy
