The biggest problem I see with the 302 combo in U or T class is weight. The Torino weighs about 350 lbs. more than a Comet/Maverick combo.

The min. weight w/ driver for U is 3410 for the 71 Torino and 3030 for the 72 Comet/ Maverick. These figures are according to Dwight's site. A very useful source for info.

I ran one of these very cars in the mid 70's. Fun and different.
