    That is too cool. I like the I-6s.

    Sound like the editor doesn't know much bout a Ford six. A 240 is a big block 6 and the 200 had 7 mains since 1965 and the 250 always had 7 main bearings.

    u.p.s. truck on acid

    :rofl::rofl: I knew a guy in Michigan that had a stroked 300, to 327 cubes. He had 6 yes 6 carbs on it, side draft webbers and his was a low 10 second car. He had a toploader 4 speed and launched at about 8,000 rpm. There was air under those front tires! I bought that car without the 6 back in '87 and sold it in '97. I sold it with a Boss 351 with a built c-4 in it. I sure do miss that car. It was painted Porche Indian Red.
    I always liked the name Preparation H for a car. It gets the hemeroids (tailgators) off your butt. That car also had a 6 cyl. didn't it?
    Last question, back in '84, I had a chance to buy a '71 Comet GTfrom a used car shop in Chicago. Get this, it had a 427 in it and a c-6. Does anyone know where that car went? It was red too.
    Dave.
