AMEN!
For what it's worth, the Ford is SMALLER then the 215 externally. The added
weight of the Ford (less than 100 pounds over the 215 if you use aluminum
heads) will be easily offset by the heavier Ford rear axle you will want to
use to handle all of that extra power.
If you still want to spend more money, the Ford can be enlarged to 347ci
without a lot of trouble, for a lot of horsepower!
For under $3200, you can buy a brand new, 320 hp Ford 302, with hi-po roller
cam, directly from Ford Motorstports, less than that from other dealers. All
you have to add is an intake system and a distributer. You can buy a good
used 302, complete with EFI, from a junkyard for around $1200.
