Turbo. There was a 63 (i think) falcon in mm&ff i think it was recently with an I6 with a turbo running about 12psi(on a basically stock engine), 3500 stall C4, 3.90 gears and it ran mid-12s.

 

Second the Turbo motion... Got a buddy used to bracket race with who had a slant 6 in his Dart. Ran bottom 12s high 11s NA.. Called it the "buzzin half dozen" Turned it to around 7500 rpm and had it in a very light car. Would be much easier to run a good number like that with a turbo, maybe even a late model EFI from a F150.. would make a turbo setup very easy.. Hell just drop in the 300 and go from there.. Its a great engine. (just kinda small and sounds wrong to me)

 

yep, thats the one i was thinking of. didnt click the link til now.

 

Back in the 70s when this stuff was dirt cheap, I chopped the intake manifold off and put some side draft motorcycle carbs on. I think I got the idea from an old magazine, or maybe some guys talking about it at the strip. First head I ported right into the water passages. Second head I was more conservative with the porting, but tried to "stick" weld the pipes for the intake manifold. They kept cracking and sucking air. The third time (3rd times a charm) I made some equal length intake runners (out of an old set of headers) and brased them to the head. Ran a split into two manifolds for a couple of side draft webbers. Long tubes and carbs where a bit big for the otherwise stock engine, but it did come on pretty good at the top end. Bottom end was a bit of a dog. I was just 14 or so, and really didn't know what I was doing. The whole ordeal cost less than $50.00 and helped me learn some stuff.
I've thought about doing it again, but nothing is cheap anymore. So I'm going V8. Bang for the buck, it can't be beat.

 

yes fast I6 can be had and i myself have a pretty quick inline 6 if u want more info go to www.fordsix.com and go to the forums there r plenty of people that can answer any question u can com up with regarding the 6 and that 63 falcon in now in the 11's and the guys who built the SN65 r building a road car that will be powered by a turboed I6 that will have an estimated 550HP at the fly with a motor designed by www.classicinlines.com AKA Ford Six Performance Parts who already built a similar motor for their road car

so yes u can make the little I6's fast
