@@BACARD1BB Jeff Jones is a good one to reach out to in the Ford straight 6 community. Just be careful with the 62 since they have a 5 main bearing block instead of the 7 main that started in 65 so it'll only take so much HP. There is a shop out in California as well but I regrettably cannot remember it's name.

@@chickenandmilk1216 to match the future paint scheme on the car

@@enginegremlin I understand

@@WilliamMunny-d8s I honestly am not sure. The original designer and manufacturer (back when it was Classic Inlines) passed away some years ago in the 2015. But we're using a crossflow design in the head we're currently designing.

@@enginegremlin its kind of too late now, since i completed my LS swap 4 yrs ago and sold that car last summer and since then also sold my backup ls engine that was basically complete except for starter, alternator, ex manifolds BUT just worn out HOW HARD would it be to take a blown LS engine and rob all the EFI parts and adopt them to something like an INLINE ford 300? Would you be able to just take the throttle body, IAC, TPS, fuel rails efi fuel tank/pump etc, Temp sensor to use a cut down version of the LS software to keep running those systems and leave the spark alone or would spark also need to be adapted and integrated into the Ford block /spark system somehow?

If our math is right as well as the tune, should be around 250 with the cam we have in it. A more aggressive cam could get a little more.

@@enginegremlin so it about doubled it. At what cost$ moneywise ? Also suggest upgrade an inline 6 or just do a complete v8 swap? Which is more economical?

@@tmacdagreattv a V8 will definitely be more economical but not nearly as unique or fun. Our i6 will dump out between 350 and 500 HP when we boost it and re-tune it depend on how much boost you add. With the new head we're designing we're targeting 750-1000 HP but it requires some SERIOUS mods. The build up to this point between $6k -$8.5k depending on how much you do yourself vs a machine shop and the state of your motor. Our motor was totally seized and needed a complete overhaul.

@@enginegremlin nice , so how much would you estimate would be the cost to get my inline 6 to about 300-350 hp?

@@tmacdagreattv if you use a Sniper unit and a supercharger out of one of the fox body 5.0s (which is the easiest way), I'd say $7.5k-$8k assuming you do a full motor rebuild. Less if you motor is running and in decent shape.

That's the idea. Or sell the IP to a manufacturer for them to build and sell.

My god your right. Well, we'll fix that nonsense rest assured.

Yeah. Which is why I decided to design a new head based on the 2JZ.

Sorry to hear that. This was our first video with and background track and needless to say, we had a lesson or two to learn on volume levels. I promise the other videos are better.

The 300 had the gears (I wish they all did) and all the smaller ones had timing chains.

No. Depends on what you want. They are very good about tailoring to your needs.

Goal is to have a prototype cast by the end of the year

@@enginegremlin sweet!! If you cast a second prototype i’ll buy it!!

So regrettable there is no off the shelf product like that that I am aware of. You COULD modify the mount points for the strut and put a coilover in its place and put in a shelby drop while you're at for the stock arms but I make no promises on performance for something like that. As long as your handy with a welder and a grinder (as a bare minimum), it shouldn't prove too difficult.

you do realize OHC techonology was developed within 10-15 of the pushrod engine? So in other words, during ww1? Not sure why you're allergic to pushrods, they're compact and reliable.

@riogrande163 Reliable? Why do I keep hearing about cam lobes, rockers, valves, valve seats and guides failing.

In work

I'll get a video up soon of first startup

The Ford 300 was. The Ford 200 is chain driven.

I got a GTE head with the vvti bit you can effectively use a GTE head as a GE head if you plug the oil holes and don't use the variable timing hardware.

Cool!

So regrettably not enough to make it modifiable to work on the 200. The Barra was a finalist on which head to base the head on but ultimately lost out to the 2JZ. It did finish ahead of the RB26.

Thank you! I'll be ready and waiting!

I bought a casting defect head and had it repaired

But your conundrum is not the first time I've heard it, which is why I'm designing a new head to fill the gap.

Thank you for the info and good luck 👍

They aren't all released yet. Parts 4 through 7 will be over the next year since it requires the new head we're designing

Yeah. One of the first edits we ever did and we had to learn it the hard way. Unfortunately youtube doesn't let you swap video files without resetting the algorithm and views. Maybe I'll upload a second version with better audio one day.
