| ........... A much more common choice in those days for
| swapping into T-series MGs was the Ford V8-sixty. This was a 2/3 scale
| modle of the original Ford V8-eightyfive. This tiny V8 was originally

| it was ~2.5 liters.
I was talking this weekend to a bunch of vintage Ford folks and they
claimed that while 2.5 liter was common in full racing trim, the stock
engine was only about 100 cu in (1.7 liters). No wonder it was so small!
