You guys built a really trick "F", so I have no doubt the your "E" will be
equally unique. Would think if you combined some Buick 215 and 300 parts you
could come up with a slick 260" motor. The 4.2 Rover is right there and it's
EFI intake looks like it could be adaped to pump & pills or maybe just
up-dated with a Haltech computer.
Hey guys what about Dick J's old Dodge 241 Hemi???
