Now if you really want to piss off the crowd a Ford 300 6 cylinder in a Chevy !
Perhaps a Dodge slant 6 with a A500 automatic .
Or something made of unobtainum like a Pontiac Overhead cam 6 .
The preceding madness brought to you by “Wandering Minds” after too much ….

The Ford 300 I-6 is just a copy of the Chevy L-25 292 L6. The L-25 came out in late '62 for the 1963 Model Year. Ford just reverse engineered* the design, and bored it over .060 -- releasing it in 1965.
*[Literally, the 300 has the intake/exhaust and carb on the passenger side. While the Chevy L6's are on the drivers side.]
Chrysler Slant Sixes only came as big as 225 CI. Contrary to Urban Myth, they were not originally one-half of a surplus Allison V12 aircraft engine block. The 30* offset design was borrowed from Mercedes Benz [M186] who used it to get lower hood lines on the SL300 Gull Wing
