Mario used on in a '67 or 8 'stang at Bonneville and set some records with it. Because of the engines size(width), I think they had to run a straight axle front end.

According to the Web site;
"The first year, 1966, they produced 20 complete engines to be retailed for $ 23,000. The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis- Consumer Price Index Calculator equates $ 23,000.00 of 1966 to $ 152,950.00 at 2008 values."
Also, they used to fit the 427 cammer in early Mustangs, and this being a 255ci small block I wouldn't think fit would be a problem. I remember seeing a custom hot rod with rear wheel drive.
