I'm not going to put the "GT200S" on sally until AFTER I build up her drive train a la

Classic Inlines Performance Parts - Home

I'm thinking 2V, headers w/ dual exhaust, possibly turbo........?

Before any of that tho' I have to finish the body work, get the electrical and interior re-installed, then I can work on the drivetrain.......

be sure to contact mike personally before ordering the head. last i knew he was looking for a new supplier. but that is one awesome head though. he had a turbo'd 200 using that head and they made 325hp!! there is a guy on fordsix.com that put one on his 250 powered falcon, also turbo'd, and that car now gets into the 10 second bracket, and is still a daily driver for his wife.

Now for that you could get a brand new Ford Racing 5.0 with aluminum heads!

Anyone can drive a V-8. How many would expect to see that kind of performance from a '65 powered by a 200ci I-6?

I'm looking for the effect!!!

They should go together well. Is the interior either black or palomino?

I never took any photos (hey it was 35 years ago), but believe it or not, I did keep the original sales receipt out of the glovebox for it, that lists all the codes, options, and price.

I love my wife~! I asked her about getting an estimate from a local (well known) body shop to finish the body work and paint "sally" and she said absolutely!
And the way she was talking to my stepson last night, I do believe I'll get the green light no matter what the $$$!!!
