Those of you that follow things at Fordsix.com have probably seen this already. The folks at Cl***ic Inline (used to be Ford Six Performance Parts) have a new aluminum head for the 144-250 inline six engines that should make some amazing power. The flow numbers look good and if the comparison to the Aussie heads are any indication, they should make the 200 a very powerful and lightweight combination (320 lbs?). Just waiting on a price and availabilty announcement. New Ford six head
That's cool news. A new head is out of my league (and needs), but I did just pony up some scratch for one of Mike's brand new li'l six finned head covers. I had it polished and it looks mighty good. I searched for years to find an Edelbrock finned cover but gave up when new ones became available. It's purdy.
I heard about them a while back. If I remember correctly, they were projecting a surprisingly affordable price for them too. The other cool thing about them is that they don't have the built in intake log on the head. They take a bolt on or u-fabber or something so the carb choices are better than a stock head.
