That's right. 5-litre Repco 740 V8 from 1971 to 1979, and then the Repco was transferred into a March 761.
The BT35X was never a F2 car of course, but HTPs only look at technical specification, not history, so if the car was presented in F2 BT35 specification, it could get a HTP. It would need to follow the specification of one of the two BT35s that appeared in F2 in 1972 and 1973, Dave Morgan's 1.9-litre Wood BDA car, or Bob Marsland's 2-litre Hart BDA car. (I am assuming Francisci's BT35 with 1.6 Nova that ran at Vallelunga in 1973 would not be allowed as a specification for historics.)
