I'm guilty - '72 Maverick, 200"/C4....V/SA. Has been exclusively an IHRA deal but I hear the darkside calling!!

Use the force Dave, follow your true feelings. Let your evil flow freely.

Well, I'm looking at combos, and wanted to do something unique. I thought an inline six would be cool, and wanted to see what was out there. I was thinking possibly a Mopar or older (60's) AMC, and I have a Fairmont, but who knows?

The ford is not the way to go! AMC maybe...the Mopar just got Hp reduced a couple years ago? If ya have any questions on a chevy let me know.

If I was starting from scratch, with an I6 as my goal power source, it would be an AMC. Chev as a second choice.

Thanks for all the info and help so far guys, out of all the racing I have done this may be the friendliest forum I've been on.
With all the great insight I've gotten, I'm down to a slant-six Mopar (Aspen Wagon?) or an AMC then, maybe 60's Rambler? |

The AMC 6 is a good choice for a strong bottom end, but choose carefully,carburation is limited to a 1 bbl on most years,with only a few with 2bbl. .....Same for cam lift .....The '77 is the best choice,and has been run sucessfully by several racers,most notably, the infamous Ed F. .....As far as racing a 6 goes, any of them is a challange, ask Billy Nees, by far ,in my opinion,one of the more sucessful 6 cyl Stock racers.....Tom

If you have a Fairmont with a 200 then play with it. It's not that bad a combo at 115 hp and it's a 10 cent build except for trans and converter.
