Ford Performance ?

[jwall77]

ya i admit i did put eternal parts, but that was a typo. I know that everyone else knew that, but didnt have to sit there and point it out like FNA did. i asked for a simple question to be answered, and FNA just had to sit there and point out the mistakes. im pretty sure i signed up for an automotive forum FNA not a Grammer forum.

Yuse guys... (:-

Clifford Performance in California. No better straight-6 people out there. (AKA Clifford Research, slogan "6 = 8", home of "Viper" headers)

Comp, Crower, Lunati all make performance cams including solid rollers.

There used to be a class in local-level NASCAR called "Hobby Stock" where the only engines allowed were straight 6s. The Ford 240 was "king of the hill" at most of the tracks I visited. The Chevy 250 was next, with the Slant-6 bringing up the rear (it was at a displacement disadvantage). A large number of performance parts were developed for the 240, which is the "same" block as 300 (4" bore).

In the late '70s, a few 300s showed up at drag strips with a "Cleveland" head. I believe it was Roush Racing (but I could be wrong, it was a long long long long time ago...) that cut up 351C 4-bbl. heads and welded them back together to make a "Cleveland" head for the 240/300. I refer to 240 because with it's shorter stroke, it has a great RPM potential the 300 doens't share. 300's strong suit is torque under 6,000. I remember one '61 Falcon with the 240 "C" and Hilborn injection called "Humpin' Henry". Mid 10s.

I realize much of this is outside the scope of your question, but it's to illustrate there are LOTS of goodies for the big Ford 6.
