But you're also inferring or saying that the SOHC engine "for street is a conversation piece." It can't corner because it weighs too much and it can't get down the 1/4 mile strip fast enough.

Do you know that Jay Brown, from the FE Forum, has a 1964 Ford Galaxie, which won Drag Week 2009 with a NA 585" SOHC (9.50s @ 143). And I'm sure he's posted better numbers more recently, but I can't access that fast enough.

A Galaxie! Oops, I forgot, you're counting money. It's an awesome engine and think nearly everyone here on Club Cobra would want one, maybe two.
