I can't believe this one hasn't been done ever! It gives away some cam and valve size to the 262 combo that we all know works but it also gets back 15 HP! Down side would have to be getting cars light enough to run U and it's probably stuck there. It would probably even work with the 7.5 rear (4.56 best ratio) and a short slick which would be lighter and cheaper. Sorry Dwight, this one's auto only. It actually has a bigger carb than the 75 262.
Just one more comparo, there were a couple of good running 229 V6s around so we know that they work, the 267 is rated 2 HP less than the V6!

There was a black Malibu about 15 years ago, 267/ U/SA down around Houston. It had Pyroil on the side of it ,so I'm sure it had something to do with the Emmons Boys.
I seemed to only run right around the index. It kinda disappeared after some rumors surfaced about a 305 short block. I hope not, because it didn't run all that well.
Anybody?
