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

Re: Mercury Montego 1973
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.

Re: Mercury Montego 1973
I used to have one many years ago with the crappy 2V heads.

Re: Mercury Montego 1973
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!
