" Take an already light '64-5 American, put a turbo'd aluminum six in
" it, back it up with a Mustang V6 5 speed, put 3.31 or 3.54's out back.
" That could be fun AND unique!  You should be able to put ~10-12 psi
" boost to it with no problems, maybe ~300 hp or so if set up right.

one thing hits me - clutch size.  you'd have a challenge getting 300hp
through a 9 1/8" disk!  and the 196 flywheel isn't drilled for
anything bigger.  it is the same size as the '64-'70 though, so if
it's thick enough in the right places it could be drilled.  they have
the 10"/10.5" pattern.

hmmm...  maybe the flywheels are similar enough that an early 199/232
one would bolt on without much work...
