The Regal is the only one de-factored to 163. Makes it an R, T, U car.
The full size that makes V is 176 hp..In other words not de-factored like the Regal.
Only 302 FFFords can get reduced, across the boards, I guess.

So, how fast did the Doolittle / Mc Kay , Jewell black car ever go? Seems to me it should go plenty fast.

Wasn't Darwin Hardy's blue "Hardy's Hangup" Buick a LeSabre with a 252?
I remember that car being quite fast for its day and a 13hp difference in U/SA would be 260 lbs!
