I've had both.
I've gotten to where I actually prefer the early B-bodies over the E-bodies.
They're still reasonably cheap, readily available and 4 door versions make things like entire front clips and trim/interior parts more readily available.
E-bodys have almost everything available reproduction but you pay $$$ for it!
Weight tends to be pretty equal if the cars are equipped similarly so that isn't a big issue.
I'd say pick the one you like and run with it!
My personal preference is the sinister look of a black '63 Dodge 330 with a Max Wedge hood scoop!

I am building a 68 Cuda from back in my high school days to run NSS with. This car is like an old friend and we go WAY back. I can't play with the big $$$ Hemi guys, so I am running a low deck wedge and a Jerico. If I had not found it after searching for years, I would be running an early 60's B Body. No doubt about it. Of course my hands down favorite all time NSS car is FUGLY, Damon is a great friend that goes out of his way to help me out teaching me lots about racing in NSS. Learned a ton from him, and had a chance to check out FUGLY up close. That car is a work of art! Most of it had to be hand built because it was rusty and beat pretty bad. It lives up to it's name, and has a personality 10' tall. Not exactly a smooth looking E Body, but NSS cars are supposed to reflect the look of the times back then. When you look at the old photo's those guys were racing anything they could stuff a hot engine in. -Dave

what about N.E.T.O and MANDRA and NENDRA, they all allow both types of cars to participate? i have heard really good things about NENDRA in the dragtime news.

if you got any type of lift in that cam and aftermarket roller rockers, your valve covers are going to get cut up like swiss cheese and look like aliens when you fire it up, ask me how i know. like a pregnant womans babies feet pushing through her belly.

Go with the early bodies.Pick which one you like and go with it.Lots of interchangeable parts from wagons,4 drs ect....  Love those old Mopars 
Dave have you seen the new video of Fugly's new transplant?

They will probally need to wiegh very close to each other in the same class so I would build a B body unless I could run a 1967 to 1969 A body with the same motor as used in the B bdoy and E body
