So, for about 55 pounds (avoirdupois, not Sterling), you can have 302 cubic
inches, with a wide range of performance enhancers available at your
neighborhood parts store (keep in mind, the BOP/Rover engine weighs less than
the stock B, so the final configuration with the Ford would be about as
stock). According to Ford Motorsports, the engine as used in my TR6 produces
320 HP! Not exactly what one would call "measley," eh?

Dan,
The reason I mention it is that I have a Tiger (one of the most
underdeveloped cars ever built) with a 349 cube (302 w/ bore and stroke job)
engine. I wonder what the Ford weighs with aluminum heads?
I had a TR 6 years ago that I put a small block into; it was a great car! I
did, however, change the old funky sliding joints in the rear suspension to
CV joints. Once that was done, the handling over bumps improved greatly!
BTW, are you going to the Chattanooga show, or Memphis?
