    HI

    I have a 53 Ford with the 215 six. Anyone do any mods to this engine?

    Thanks Chuck

    It is just the early initial version of the 223 which was around for many years up into the early 60's. I believe most parts for the 223 should fit the 215, such as intakes and exhaust. Ports in the 215 may be a bit smaller? Someone will know better than me.

    Most guys go towards intakes and headers, the 223 stuff will work just fine. Offenhauser makes 2 carb and 3 carb intakes, Clifford and Patriot sell headers. A cam is made for the 223, but it will not work on your 215 due to the different distributor location.
