Newbie here - Help me spend $5K on my '66

Glad to see your interest peaked in the Inline! You can have some real fun, and suprise the heck out of a lot of V8 guys.

Well, my secret would come out eventually, but here's the Ford 6 Performance Site I moderate at:

You will find that you can't open up a Summit catalog and pick out an intake, but there are certainly plenty of performance parts you can find for the inline.

Just as a tease, here are some projects we are all working on.

Here's what I started to play with, then decided on something more unique that is still in development under wraps:

Here's an a link to an Argentine 221 head being installed on a US 250 block.

Here's the next generation 250 head Ford Australia developed after the integral log. It's bolted onto a US 200 block.

Here is a complete Australian Crosflow 250. It shares a lot of common parts with the US 250, but does not share heads and blocks. It shares more internals than anything. These Crossflows have alloy aluminum heads and easily make 220+ HP while and weigh considerably less than the 289 and 302 counterparts. This particular one is set up for MPI being driven by an SDS EFI computer. These motors will accept 4bbls, 2bbls, triple Webers, etc...

Now, for the real killer Ford I6 stuff. Here is an OHC, variable cam timing Ford I6/ This baby is good for 240 HP stock and makes more torque than you can imagine

There is talk of a DOHC I6 in the works out of Australia. We are all anxious to see it.

Before you really dig into the I6, there is a book you should purchase for $14.95 called the Ford 6 Falcon Performance Handbook. It's a book Dennis and David Schjeldahl. These guys have done tremendous research on the Ford I6 and have put it into a book for all. It's probably the best $14,95 you'll ever spend. They are having problems with their website, but here's an email addy:
