Stock suspension with boxed lowers, adjustable uppers, 4-speed braces, the proper stock or wagon springs and good shocks will work wonders. The stock 4 link suspension can 60 foot into the 1.4s, good enough for low 11s, which is under the rollbar rule.

Good shocks is where you spend the money. If the car wants to twist on launch, you may need one of the fancy rear swaybars. But if the car is 90% street, don't ruin the street manners doing the typical drag spring/CE shock dance. I just converted my '67 away from that, no fun rubbing tires on the fenders and wallowing around on the street.
