We have to ask Elmayerle how much the Iroquois was smaller and lighter than the J-75... (what increase in performances ?)
Hmmmm, RCAF with Iroquois-powered F-106s and F-105s... sound cool!!  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

More data:
I got the J-75 info from the 59-60 Jane's
16 stage compressor (9 low, 7 high)
2 spool
6 burners
3 stage turbine (1 high, 2 low)

24500 lbs thrust (26500 lbs with water injection)
5875 lbs weight
19' 8" long
43" diameter

the JT4A (civil version)
15800 lbs thrust (no a/B)


Iroquois information from Avro Arrow
10 stage compressor (3 low, 7 high)
2 spool
annular burner
3 stage turbine
26600 lbs thrust a/b
19350 lbs dry
4500 lbs weight

no dimensions on the Iroquois, but they should be similar to the J-75

Impressive!

2700kg Vs 2100... you can save around 1.5 tons for a twin-jet fighter  :o

Other thought : the Iroquois was aparently a derivatives of the RB-106 thames (one of the first engine selceted for the CF-105).
The Fairey Delta III would have powered by RB-122 which were also... RB-106 derivatives.
