Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
Has the '66 full-size Ford with the 240 inline six ever been considered? It has some appealing specs, I think.
150 HP factor (OEM gross rating,) 1.787"/1.566" valves, long rod motor (6.7",) 12 port head, cam specs: .366/.400 lift, and fits the V Stock class (24# pounds per horsepower,) almost perfectly.
It comes with the all synchro 3-speed manual, or a C-4.
Dunno if it has the 9" or an 8" rear; probably the latter.
Dunno about that 1-bbl carb, though.
Might be difficult to find, but should be an easy (and cheap) build.
