Well I just ordered a alum head and intake, 264/264 110 lob cam, 1.6 roller tipped rockers and a few other new parts for my I6 200 from Classic Inlines. I should have it all in about a month or so. The head with be ported and polished and have larger valves. I will be running a 2100 carb(have ine already) for now and hopefuller get a 4100 down the road. I will post pics when I get it and after install. Between this and the T5 my car should wake up alot.

Sounds nice....wish I could do that kind of upgrading on my I6. How did you like the Weber 32/36 compared to a Autolite 1100? I am trying to figure out what improvements I want to make to my I6 I already have the Clifford split headers but that is about it. I was thinking small cam and Weber carb.
I have already done the DUI distributor and the carter 32/36 carb, Classic Inlines headers with 2" dual exhaust and cold air intake. The Weber was alot smoother and a little more power. The ideal was better also. I think it stills need to be a little leaner. A better cam, distributor and the Weber 32/36 would be nice for alot less money. Give Mike a call at Classic Inlines and can help you out alot.

Hi,
Sounds like a cool setup. So currently you are running the stock head I assume. I'm curious when you put the 2100 on did you feel a big difference over the stock 1100? What size is the 2100 you're running? And lastly What did you do as far as accelerator linkage? Sorry to bombard you with questions but,I got a 2 into 1 spacer recently and I have a shelf full of 2100 cores . I appreciate your feedback.Thanks
Enjoy your new head! Watch closely on the front passenger side head bolt. Depending on how much you mill it and bolt selection, bolt can interfer with water pump impeller. Only problem I encountered.

Since it's so much easier to gain HP by just dropping in a V8, its a welcome sight to see mods like this. Make sure you post up some photos before, during and after. I guess what you are doing is one of the unusual oddities due to my opening statement?

Yeah that is one of the reasons I decieded to keep the I6 instead of switching to a V8. I will spend about the same amount but I think the I6 is cooler. Plus I should still get around 25MPG when I am done. Everyone has a 289, 302 or a stroker engine in there 65-66 Mustang. If I get bored with HP I could always add a turbo or super charger down the road. I will keep everybody posted and pics as a install it.

i am goping to use the 2100 on the alum head. I am running a Weber 32/36 carb right now. I just added some round bar to my current linkage. I will post poics of it for you.

I have absolutely nothing to add to this post except to say
GO FLYERS
So glad hockey is back. Looking forward to Saturday!
DO NOT USE THAT LANGUAGE HERE.
Glad it is back and I bought my tickets when the Lightning play the Pens in Tampa.

I bought mine straight from DUI but Mike at CLassic Inlines sells them in a package with wires a little cheaper. I did not know he had them until after I bought mine. Very easy to install and made a big diffrence in start up and power.

Post up some before and after pictures, sounds like your before may be about where I am headed. If the budget allows. I have been struggling with the decision to keep the I6 or go V8 right now I want to get the car on the road ASAP and staying with the original motor, transmission and accessories sure will be easier. I would like to have a little more get up and go in my pony though.
What kind of intake do you plan to run? The reason I ask is that I used to have a hopped up 250 I6 in my 72 Comet GT.
I had the single Holley 4 intake from Clifford, and it was terrible. The number one, and number 6 cyl were always waaaay lean due to the unequal length runners.
I would recommend two, 2bbls or something along that line to even out the fuel distribution, or best yet as fuel injection system with the injectors in each port.
I've always wanted to build a Ford six banger as they can make power, just look what the 4th gen Toyota Supra's make with their little I6.
If I ever do get the time to build one it will be the Ford Aussi version with the aluminum DOHC.
