I am going to make an offer on a 67ish maybe 68 Bronco with a 170 6 cyl in it and I have a couple questions because my budget isn't going to afford me the luxury of an engine swap for a while. I used to have a 67 ford pickup with a 300 inline 6 and it ran great and would do well on the highway.
1. What kind of highway speeds are you getting with what sized tires?
2. Has anyone switched the gears to get better speeds with the 6 cyl ?
3. I saw that the head and intake are a single casting, so I assume the single barrel carb is pretty much the only option?
I guess that I am worried about it being underpowered and not getting the same satisfaction as a 289 or 302?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
