This idea was brought up, using incorrect means, a few years ago by Bill
Carlson, Doug King, and myself. It came about after Bill and I were told we
could not run a 258 cid '50 GMC engine in E/MR we would have to run in X/FR.
The classic category does not allow for the competitor who wants to run a
235 Chevy, or a Chrysler six or any of many Vintage engines, all of which
have to run in a 325 inch class.

Rich,
There is the "lowest primary class" clause on page 7, 1.B.
This means if your vehicle has a vintage XO motor, pre '53 design, it must run
in a vintage class. In this case XO/FR. A post '53 motor, say a '72 292ci
would run in E/FR.
Lowest Primary Class would exclude a vintage engine from Classic Category
because it has a place in the Vintage Category. Also, in the extreme,
disallows a Production car from running in Special
Construction against an open record in a streamliner class.
