It's certainly a tire torcher, but that thing must weigh a ton. And then prolly has a c4 tranny in it. He coulda went better off on a 302 or 351W.

Seems ridiculous, but then didn't some of the the Datsun Z's have straight 6's?

Put some webbers on it!

thats a 250 cid ford inline 6 banger. the intake is a intragal part of the head, meaning it doesn't unbolt so no webers unless someone is really good with a torch to remove the bulk then machine the area flat for a good surface to drill and tap a side draft 3 weber carb setup. i made a ford 250 cid inline 6 banger into a fire breathing monster before. the bottom ends are strong it's the head that holds back any performance. but it's still not a cross-flow designed head.

If a ford I-6 can fit in there, I would guess a RB series engine could as well. Hmm, someone let a tuner know that has some money, we might get a great swap yet.
