Ford inline six ID?
I have just bought a Hotrod with a Ford inline six engine. I have however not been able to identify what type/year/size engine it is, so maybe someone on this group could help me? The engine is overhead valve, has intake manifold cast into the cylinder head on the passenger side, and the exhaust manifold bolts to the head on the passenger side. Distributor, Fuel pump and Oil filter (twist-on) is located on the drivers side. Here is a picture of this engine: http://mooserodders.com/medlemmar%5C...5Cdcp08395.jpg Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. Best regards, /Hans Sundkvist =D6stersund Sweden |

That's either a 144 CID or 177 CID Falcon engine. It dates from the early to mid 60's. George Patterson None of us is as dumb as all of us. |

I looked into putting a 200 into my '61 Econoline at one time. The exhaust system is on the other side. George Patterson None of us is as dumb as all of us. |

if the exhaust on the 200 was on the other side of what was in your van,
than you did not have a ford 6 cylinder in it. the 144,170,200,and 250 all use the same head design. the diference is in the valve sive, carb opening size, and exhaust size.it is not uncommon to put a 250 head on a 144 or 170 as a hop up to gain power. a good reference book to have is the ford falcon six cylinder performance handbook ,by dennis and david schjeldahl. it goes into detail on building a killer six cylinder ford. their email address is the web site is : falconperformance.sundog.net "G.R.
