I have come up with a old G***er its a 1948 Anglia the car was called Super 6 in 1969 it was at the NHRA US Nationals i been working on it for the last few months getting it all back together I'm trying to find some more info and pic of it. I've found just a couple things but I'm sure there's got to be a lot more out there about this car just trying to see if anyone has some pic or videos of it going down the track or just a little bit more history of the Super 6 car. I do know it was a ford 300 6 cylinder with Hilborn Injection and a 4 Speed if anyone has anymore info about the car please let me know thanks EZ
Love it! Not just because it's an old g***er, but because it ran a six too! Should have run H/G then where sixes and flatheads all ran. I see an Anglia won H/G at the Nationals in 1968, but with a big Chevy six. A Ford six would have taken a lot of boring and stroking to be compe***ive with the many stroked 302 GMC and 292 Chevy sixes.

H/Gas, one of many cl***es NHRA used for Gas coupes or sedans back then. They started at A/G for the fastest, down to H/G for six cylinder and flatheads.
Guess it's not the Super 6 anymore with the V8. It would likely be A/G or B/G depending on cubic inches and weight now.
The '39 in my avatar ran in H/Gas cl*** with a big GMC six back in the 60's. I'd have loved to have kept it as a GMC six, but just couldn't find anything around in good rebuildable shape that wasn't stupid priced. So I also went with a SBC 355 that I put a short stroke 302 crank in to make it a 302 c.i. engine. Not as cool as a big GMC six, but a whole lot cheaper to do.
Go on U-Tube and look up . He interviewed a guy that still runs a highly modified Ford 300 6L. It comes out that he had an "in" at the Ford foundry and could modify the sand cores/molds for big bores, increased strength, etc. and they would be partially machined as they went down the line. They did 80 of them, most if not all used cut and welded Boss 302 [Cleveland] cylinder heads made by two or three individuals/shops. Very interesting interview.
i would put the 6 in it if i could find the exact same set up at the time i was putting the v8 in then found out it had 6 in it
That would surely give any of the other sixes a good run for the money! My records for the Nationals don't go past 1968, so didn't see who won in H/G in 1969 year.
