- Welcome to the third episode of "Ask the Experts" where we speak with an industry expert about different aspects of the industry, the effects of component modifications on car builds, and learn more about the history of different manufacturers.
This week I am interviewing Matt Cox, owner of Vintage Inlines. Vintage Inlines specializes in Ford inline six modifications and components and are most well known for their aftermarket aluminum cylinder head. This week we cover:
1. The cylinder head shortage
2. When we expect to see cylinder heads produced again
3. A brief history of Vintage Inlines
4. Specifications and characteristics of the aluminum cylinder head
5. Mods to the aluminum cylinder head
6. Mods to the cast iron log head for performance
7. Mods to the Ford 200 inline six
8. Resources for modding your Ford inline six
We want to give a huge thank you to Vintage Inlines in supporting this build. Be sure to check out Vintage Inlines at:

Great information. Like many Mustang owners with sixes, I've been waiting for news on this front.
Can't wait to throw one of these heads on my six. Definitely been a long wait 😅
Ty for the update I was getting frustrated…
Always great to see good news from Matt Cox and great inline six content. Thanks, from your friends at the FordSix Performance Forum :D
Awesome video! Please open up the waitlist again!
Really hope,this comes available soon. The lack of updates has been frustrating
Any updates? Still nothing on the website.
Awesome to hear from Matt. Long process, but the heads will come around eventually! I've been following the process since 2018 and look forward to seeing them in production.
Matt , I’d like to thank you 1 million times over. I’m sure many of the other straight six enthusiast have been waiting on this head and waiting on current updates.
It is happening! Nice :)
How do I get on the waiting list
This waiting is absolutely exhausting. If someone has the capital investment they could be very rich very quickly. Im sure 10 thousand people minimum are truly waiting on this head. Myself included. Lets get this rolled out Matt !!
We have a secret project in the works on this front. Wink 😉
Can I have a message with you about that The Ford Falcon Six Cylinder Performance Handbook?
Go figure. I've been waiting over a decade now for aftermarket heads to be available for my 200. I gave up, started considering serious machining and modification, but eventually scrapped the 200 idea and recently got a 300 that I'm building for my 65 mustang. I'm glad there will be heads for these engines, though. It's long overdue. I bet there are thousands of people out there that will want them when they're available.
I would love to see that log manifold upgrade
Good news. We're filming an episode over the next few weeks on how upgrade a log head by using our old one!
A scat cast STEEL crank would be cool, nearly as strong as forged at the price of cast, and if required the rod journal can be welded, and offset ground, to add stroke, the Brazilians make 2000+ HP with alot of stock Chevy parts, 250/292, they built a steel girdle that wraps around the deck, and a girdle on the main caps, then connect them I'm guessing it bolts in between the block and oil pan, and running tons of boost!!
Two 45° bends or three 30° bends are much better when it comes to airflow,
I always thought three carbs on a i6 would work out better, putting a carb in front of each pair of cylinders.. with EFI, I'd go individual throttle bodies, with open plenum, or a similar setup. With a single throttle body,
With all the 3d printing possible today, and lost foam casting, seems a head with high ports and intake runners, cross flow could be cast fairly easy possibly raising the cover rail 1" to allow for the port height! Using longer valves and pushrods also, making deeper bowls, 2.100-1.60 valves should be possible, atleast 2.080-1.55" , make the chamber about 46cc bean shaped, with the intake and exhaust ports being about 1" -1.250" taller at the port flange, 1Hp/cid should be natural, making less should almost be difficult! 10:1 compression, and free flowing intake and exhaust, a 300 should make 300-320 HP, at 6k, and 12-14 psi should make 550+
the australian alloy head II crossflows used a 2bbl 420cfm 34 adm weber as the standard carb.
An alloy head 250 crossflow turbo has put 587 rear wheel hp at 25psi on a standard offset ground crank with hemi rods and forged pistons. the crossflow crank is practically the same strength wise as a pre crossflow.
A rocker ratio increase from 1.5 to 1.6 adds . 030" lift and a slight bit of duration, not alot,. 1.65:1 should be .045" added lift, the springs should be checked for binding, it can be especially spicy with aftermarket cam! But valve clearance, and spring comparability, and retainer to guide/seal clearance must be checked, a . 480" cam adding . 045" to that is or can be a big deal! Especially if the head can't handle over . 500" lift, and it needs more clearance, the cam can loft the lifter, causing extra lift, causing major issues if there is no clearance, for safety is say
. 050"minimum, when it comes to recommend valve lift, stay . O50" below recommend max lift,
Almost every iteration of printed cores or molds I’ve seen have been a slow, fragile process… for years shell cores were made and still here in australia… I believe the first part of this head was made in a pattern shop I worked in as an apprentice australia. Also his manifolds were able to be adapted to our 2V 6 cylinder heads, should get the castings made in australia again
I was just about to call machine shops to mill my large log down for a 2v... Now I'm not sure what to do!
We'll be doing an episode in a few weeks on how to mod your log head for performance on the relatively cheap side so you might hold off until then if you interested.
@@enginegremlin I've been on Mike's list since Feb 2019. I'm not sure which batch that puts me in but I'm not sure I want to build an iron head this year if I can have an alloy one in 2 years or less
@@Smayorga65 honestly you might ask him what number you are on the list so you can get an idea.
This episode is 1yr old and they are STILL showing Out-of-Stock on the Cylinder head and they are NOT adding any additional names to the waiting list. Hmmmmm....looks like they still have problems.
Yeah. Which is why I decided to design a new head based on the 2JZ.
300 heads?
Unfortunately not at this time.
that's " AUSSIE " know how for ya, I love FORD s & Detroit , but we are "innovative " ( not just "sheepies" ) ,THANKS Mr.willis ( I HEARD YOU ) ! ,bye c.s.
🥝✔️
Now, next time you guys talk, ask about a new head for the big 6. There is considerable interest in them these days.
