Re: NHRA F/MP 3??
H/MP was for the 6 cyl's. Lots of little small blocks in M/P. 267 c.i. was popular combo in F in Camaros and Corvettes. I think there may have been some with even smaller displacements. Lots of shoebox Chevys in G with small blocks due to weight/c.i. ratios determining class. Those little motors would scream usually leaving at close to 10K rpm. Modified was really cool when it was a separate eliminator but NHRA screwed 'em. They kept the classes but moved some to Superstock and others to Comp eliminators

Re: NHRA F/MP 3??
Here is a pretty neat you tube video of some old M/P cars,
It makes me want to go build a "little motor"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kswkSEyOj8

Re: NHRA F/MP 3??
Wow, thanks for posting that great video! Listen how slow those motors come down from revving because of the extremely heavy flywheels that these high-RPM, small displacment motors this class was known for. I helped restore a '62 Corvette about 10 years ago that was an old Modified/Production car with a Doug Nash 5-Speed and 6.17 geared Dana 60!
