Re: 80's factory lightweights?
Little update for anyone who's interested. I've been hearing stories of a batch of 5.0 Mercury Capri's, 85 model year, that appear to have been shipped with a slightly larger than stock bumpstick (stock was .444, 268*. These came with a cam measuring .490, 302*). Still not sure about the previously mentioned "lightweight" notch in terms of legality, but there's no question that these Capri's were illegal as hell if they did, in fact, ship with those cams installed at Dearborn. Also heard about a possible process through which some of these things may have occurred without the wrong people hearing about it.
