I really don't see the 6 cylinder running the index in Q/Stock.
How about it, Tom Goldman?

Mark, I'd be very impressed if it ran under the index in Q ....Even at 2800#. ..... This combo is lower in compression and cam lift than a 258 like Ed F's combo that runs in T., altho the ports are much larger on the earlier heads .....On the plus side ,I guess you could run a 4 speed T-10 in it and not use 4th gear, that would at least give some strength not found in the 3 speed. ....The 290 combo is the sweet one ,only 2900# in K,3005 in L, only as a 4 speed with the 4 barrel in '67 ..Billy Nees has been pestering me to build one of them for years. If Billy likes it ,is got to be good!
