    When I was in high school, I read an magazine feature about taking a 200 6 head off and milling it flat in the front and rear and adding two more carb mounting pads. I found two more heads and cut the intake pads off and brought it to a machine shop, and had them machine my head and weld on the pads, 3 one barrels and a set of clifford research headers that thing went!! and sounded good too.

    I’m not sure but I think I still have an Offenhauser F360 for a 300ci engine.

    I contacted Edelbrock about the F 361 manifold and a very nice lady named Heather replied with a picture of the manifold in the 1969 catalog and another of the manifold. It seems that the F360 is for the little 144 CI engine, (sorry @Fortunateson) and the F361 is for the 170 and early 200 engines. Anyway, here's pics. Check out the prices.

    Are you going to pull the trigger on it? It would be pretty cool to have.

    I was going to go today, but I have a contractor coming sometime to give me an estimate on taking a big tree out. I've got the seller's phone number. I'll call later tonight and make an appointment to see it if it hasn't been sold yet.

    you're on the money. i ran one in a gen 1 econoline and surprised a lot of people. it's taller due to a real long stroke, and all the heads from the 144 to the 250 fit, but the 144 and 170 will need airplane gas...

    Zephyr..... as in Mercury 1977 to around 82. They used the 200 and 250 engines.

    So you guys are all thinking of a Lincoln Zephyr and they didn't use a 6 cylinder at all.

    The guys who are talking about the British Ford Zephyr are not thinking Lincoln
