Is the little 144/200/250 Ford 6 a viable option in the HA/GR?

Yes, there are already a few HA/GRs running with them and a few more coming. The 144 was available in 1960 and a 200cid is considered a legacy engine with no major design changes. A 250 might be a stretch, though...

I planned on running a 144 stroker in the first car I started but the IRS thought differently.

Check out Rocky's thread for Toymaker he is using a small 6 Ford

The weight wouldn't be a problem...just build the rest of the car light...Use lots of holey stuff and it shouldn't be a factor.:p
