Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

Now with a rating of 188hp, apart from the cost of buying the car itself, I would think this could be built into a pretty good M,N,O car fairly cost effectively. Apart from the somewhat small carb, it has some pretty liberal cylinder head specs compared to other very similar SBF heads, and some pretty good compression capabilities. Just some food for thought.

Good morning Doug and to all,
I'm in the middle classes today and I noticed your reply, I always liked those Ford bodies but what would be the "natural" class weight of that car work out to be?
I have to agree with Joe that finding a suitable body at a somewhat reasonable cost is going to be a little tuff these days. As I remember those cars were pretty "tinny" - meaning light. What does that combination have to weight?
Have a Good Day and a Nice Weekend.
