Do you know how long those engines are? SUPER long! I think that swap would be pretty cool! Using a bunch of clifford hop-up parts...I remember back in the day I wanted to build me a 302ci GMC inliner for my chevy...split header, hot cam, 4 barrel, backed by a NV4500 5spd. I've seen a few really really hot inline 6's pullin' some awesome 1/4 mile times.

Yeah....In high school, there was a student at another high school locally that built a really nice '65 Nova with a hot hot hot 292. It had the normal stuff like split headers and HEI ignition, but he had two 4 barrels and I'm not remembering what else he did to it. I do remember his 1/4 times though....Mid 13's. On one of the last races of the night drags, he dipped into the 12's.

I used to have one in my first truck. ('88 F150) Motor was going strong at 175k, but the frame rusted out on the truck and I didn't have the time/money/knowledge to fix the problem. Ended up selling it. Still makes me sad.
Would be nice to see one in a Ranger.

Not to mention as bomb proof as an M1 Abrams tank. Only care they need is the oil changed.

I know when I said...hmm what are three things I really want in a motor...I thought reliability, torque, good sound...seems like the 300 is the best I could think of for that...
