I think you are referring to an El Camino that had a 262 (4.3) V-6 that was near the top at Indy a few years ago. I think the last name was Fickler. Was the wife of a guy that worked at Aeromotive. Now the best 262 V-8 I know of, is a guy out of Div 1- Brian Philbrick(sp?) out of Ontario, Canada. I have been working on the 267 combination for a little while and have found good things and some bad things about the 267. Some can be cured with money and others, well you just have to live with. The big issue with either combination is going to be finding good cores to work with, especially the 262 V-8. I have collected a bunch of 267 stuff and more carbs than should be allowed in one shop.
