Thanks for the info. Mangustas are pretty interesting to begin with and yours being 1 or 1 even more so.
In the days of changing points in the distributor the Chevy location in the back of the engine seems to fit the mid-engine layout much better than the Ford location.
One other thing too that I noticed a long time ago and still is so noticeable, the Chevy engine sounds so much different than the Ford on the track or at speed.
The Chevy sounds smooth and integrated whereas the Ford sounds like "washing machine Charlie" is on his way.
