Back in 1961 there were some Mercury pickups built in Canada that had an FE engine with gas ported pistons. They were also equipped with a C-4 transmission. I would petition the NHRA for the rightfull parts that should be superceded for your car based on that truck from 1961 so that you can just run a gas ported piston instead of all those high tech expensive ring spacers.
