i had wanted to do the same thing run a i6 against the v8's but if you rad the rules you dont have a chance. first you need a lot of head work and they say none and you need a intake other then the stock one. but i agree with you about the smaller engine. i put a 327 in a ca i sponsered he ran as fast as the 355's and the one that was winning had a 305 his handeled better than the others. you would have one advantage if the rules said #1 plug even with the ball joints.
