no but i saw in mustangs and ford magazine this month (may)(page 19) that they said they were dropping off a 200 at the engine shop for a future hop up article.
Back when we originally bought the '74 Mav, it had a 250/c4 (stocker). A neat thing about it was you could take off the 1,3, and 5 plug wires, fire it up with only a short length of pipe from the manifold down under the car (no cat, muffler, nothing) and it would shoot flames out of the rear of the car. Also, I got bored one day, pulled it into the shop, and welded on an old Mitsubishi TD04 turbocharger on the end of the exhaust pipe under the car. No oil lines, nothing...just wanted to hear the sound of it. After all, the motor was coming out anyway to be replaced with a 302 later on. Anyway, I liked it so much, I went out in the street and proceeded to melt the right rear hide, while my brother was taking a video of the smoke & the sound of the turbo whining. It was awesome, too bad we taped over it later on. After the motor came out, the tubo went on my old '87 Yamaha Warrior. I figured it was too big, and I wired the wastegate closed, plumbed everything, and took off. I figured it wouldn't even spool up and make any pressure. Boy was I wrong! That thing stretched all 4 of the long headbolts and both of the short ones because it had made so much pressure & detonated so badly. I pushed it up the drive and it literally had 1/4" gap between the cylinder and the head! Jeez....there I go rambling again.
'72 Mav vs. BMW 320i My first mav had a 200 six with a 3spd on the floor & custom exhaust. It was my first engine rebuild @14yrs old. When I was 16 and got my licence I ran a guy with a beemer 320i and beat him not once but twice. He was what I like to call a "middle aged" guy who was plenty surprised he was owned by a six cyl Mav. 6 shooter mavs are plenty cool.
