Thanks for the info, Gil. Hot-rodders do lots of body/firewall mods to
squeeze bigger engines into old compartments, but I don't think many
restorers will buy into that, especially with MVs. The engine might work =
in
another MV, though.
Does anybody know the dimensions on Chevy 292 c.i. and Ford 300 c.i. in-li=
ne
6s? Those are both good engines and certainly stronger than the old =
Dodge
motors. The Dodge people out there might try the slant-six, but that =
seems
awefull wide. Anybody ever try it?
