Mercury Montego 1973
 
One of these have come up cheap near my place, would this be a good dime rocket with any of the available engine combos

351/246/253@285(is this 351 CJ?) looks pretty good to me. Can make K/L/M/N depending on trim. No rollbar in N. I doubt that it would be a "Dime Rocket" though.

I used to have one many years ago with the crappy 2V heads.

Thank you most wonderful sage, I think I will pass on it then. I did see a kewl 78 LTD today but the guy said he would have it until he died.

I think this is a Great Combo!

Same Engine in George Thomson's 73 Mustang a few years ago at 303 HP was Crazy Fast.....
Way over a Second Under!
It started in 280s and kept getting hit!

Tricky part was Goofy Autolite Carb!
