170ci with the cast-in manifold and a three-in-the-tree?

LOL. Close. They never had a 3-tree on the Rustang. Also, only the '65s has the infamous 170ci. I have a mighty 200ci, cast in maifold. Plane Jane no options, unless it came factory 65% rusted & bondo galore!

Actually, the 200ci is an anemic engine, but could be considered stronger than a V-8 because it's got 7 main bearings, where V-8s only have 5.

That's what us 6ers tell ourselves.

I feel your pain! My '67 coupe had the 200 I6 and 3 speed M/T. I soon realized that it sucked. So, I gathered some parts and swapped in a 390 and C6! Next combo will be an EFI 302 based motor with modern trans and give it to my mother.

AS FOR THE LIGHTER..... It's not a Mustang. I can tell that from here.

Well, right off the bat you did me one better, 'cause you can fit a big block in the '67.
