Plus it was tow-truck bait. POS.

EDIT: I just checked, it was rated at 140 hp. From a 302 V8. What a joke.

And here was it's rival, and equal in "quality"

The cleveland was a reasonably good engine, the 302 windsor was a boat anchor.
Choked down with a 2 bbl carb, low compression, and all sorts of smog crap.
