I have a 67 Bird with a Sprint Engine. They'll suprise alot of people. There pretty quick 0-60. They have a 6500 rpm redline from the factory. They have some decent torque. Mine is a 4 speed (most where 3speeds manual or 2 speed auto), the 4 speed had 3.11 first gear. Fun drive because you have the extra rpm with some torque to play with (front end is a little lighter too).

All Sprints where single exhaust, but they came with a split manifold so it's easy to make true dual. Compression was around 10.5 from the factory.

There are some sleeper out there, people put superchargers on them, or triple Webers. Something different to play with if nothing else.
