Thanks, Joel

A friend of my son had a big Jeep Wagoneer with that engine, but I 
didn't know about the IH"s of that era. I guess I was extrapolating 
from 72, the year for which I had some data.

Anyway, it was an awesome engine in that Jeep, so I can understand why 
you might like to mess around with one.

The son mentioned above, for a short time, raced a highly modified AMC 
Matador which had that engine in it. He didn't stay with the Saturday 
night racing for very long after deciding that that kind of excitement 
was hard on his nerves and blood pressure.

Earlier than my son's short racing career, NASCAR racing had a Matador 
driven by Bobby Allison and others that did very well.
