NOGO,
I used an article published in Hot Rod, several years ago, to build a 200 six.
You may know that Offenhauser builds an adapter to bolt 3 Holley single barrel carbs on your engine, after a little cutting. I bought one and used progressive linkage...worked like a charm.
With dual headers/with a center exhaust divider, a mild cam and valve spring upgrade, with some ignition improvements, that sucker was a screamer! It had a sweet sound, too.
Now, I'm not talking huge torque and pavement tearing acceleration, but the little six will really come alive. And.......you're right it'll really turn some heads!
A buddy with a nice, early 260 Mustang, couldn't catch me from 0 to about 80 mph and I'd beat him in the quarter almost every time. Wish i still had it.
Those are great little engines and a lot of bang for the buck. Build one, I'm sure you'll love it!
