Thanks for the article Luva65! That was a great article on an awesome car, even with all the extras it was under 3000 pounds yet with 845 rear wheel horsepower!!

We estimated my MGB V8 with the 283 ci Chevy small block to be pumping out a mild 200 to 250 hp and yet with that moderate level of power, the world outside the windshield truly did turn into a blur when you punched the gas. The car also had 3.91 gearing or some such, and a T-5 five speed trans, it was an outrageous car, and nowadays, compared to even an ordinary factory hi-po car, that MG would be a slug.

Myself, I've aged with "some grace" and I no longer need all the power in the world, I'm happy with an all around good performing car with enough power to keep me smiling, at least I tell myself that!

My 200 ci Falcon, the rated power is 120 hp, if a set of headers and a four barrel, with a few other mods (the port divider for example) will bring it up to 140-160 hp I'm sure I'll be happy considering the car weighs 2430 pounds, as checked on two certified scales. I will attempt to strip another 100 pounds from it, though.

The V8 Falcon, if I get 200 hp out of it with a weight of 2200 to 2500 pounds, I hope it'll keep me happy.

The third Falcon, well, that '64 may just get a 351 Windsor punched out to 427 ci and with aluminum heads, but that's real money that I don't have so I'll just dream about it for now!
