I stumbled on your website the other day trying to find more info for the 144 in my inline six '63 Falcon. I'm now looking for a 200 to drop into my '63 to give it a little pep mainly because, according to the title, over 231K miles, so I've got some work to do to get it road worthy when I get back to KY in about a month. Look forward to cracking some of the knowledge you guys have on the old inlines. -Jeromy
One word, Ledgendary Ford Magazine. They do a wonderful job on Fords, had an issue july/august 2008 all about 6 bangers. Classic Inlines would be one place to start, I think if you just search inline 6 you may come up with a few. Lot of the article in the mag revolved around wether to go with new heads etc. Plus on a 6 banger more torque with the cranks full 120 degrees versus a v8 90 degrees.
welcome to the hamb from st louis....be careful over there...when you get back stateside come up to st louis and I will buy you a beer and give you a 200 6 cyl........
well man, be safe over there, thanks for what your doing, and definately take some pics of your car, would love to see it. stay safe and welcome to hamb
Thanks for the warm reception. I thought for a day or two, since the internet here is kinda spotty, that I might be on a forum where i wouldn't fit since I have a '63, but no worries now. Looks like I got some travelling to do when I get back. 12 DAYS TO GO!!!
Late getting here but welcome and thanks for your service, if your ever in the atlanta area stop in i'll buy the beer.
Welcome and welcome home in just a couple of days. Tuesday 3 Feb? Coming from Baghdad, going to MO to get that 200 should be a piece of cake! Thanks for your service.
Jlynton, Hello & Welcome to the HAMB from Texas. Be careful & enjoy the flight home. I did, many times. Lucky667
Welcome and thanks for your service! Check out http://www.tffn.net/ they have a lot of good info on that 144 to 200 swap. The tricky thing is finding the right bolt pattern tranny / engine. If you can, get them both out of a donor car.
Jeromy, welcome to the HAMB and thank you for your service to our country, from Hank in Pennsylvania. I've been to Louville 3 times to go to the NSRA Nats.with my 37 Ford, I hope to get back there again it's a great city.
