When you put this in a tall-hood truck, the extra space on the drivers side just begs for a big 'ol turbo

@pbpaulieb Ok.

@seapeddler 'good' doesn't always mean a high hp/tq number. 'good' means a motor that will go 300k on the regular with my pops goin 500k before he bought a new van. It still runs great BTW. He started it a couple years ago jes for shits and giggles. Well the gas pedal stuck and it burned out all through the yard lol. It was it's way of gettin revenge for bein retired I guess.

@preston121068 10 000 yrs. ago, before the Great Flood, there were no hydroelectric dams. Electricity was collected in pyramids via. colossal piezoelectric generation. And this electricity could be propagated wirelessly to cars, planes, submarines, ships, etc. Now, after the fall of the Golden Age, man had to re-invent society. What we buy from automakers is getting better. The 300-6 is a great motor, but made to look like a dinosaur. I still have mine, but only until my hearing goes.

@seapeddler The Ford 300I6 is possibly THE best I6 ever to be produced. Originally produced to be used in tractors and other farm equipment. Ford found it produced quite a bit more torque and pretty equal HP as V8's (any make) with similar ci size. They put them in trucks mainly due to the fact it simply would not fit in cars without raised hoods.
The reason Ford has stopped making them is the EPA's fault. Too many restrictions and fuel consumption was the only problem with it.

@nevrenufhp 311 HP @5100 RPM And 375 FT LB. @3600RPM.
More is possible with these engines.
Keep in mind this was a purpose built engine with the type of racing and the limited traction of the car it would have to run in taken into consideration. We also had to consider the RPM that the parts could stand.
These cars can only take so much before they blow through the tires.
Look at the Holley carb video that I also have on You tube. It's on this engine.

We used 6.200 Chevy rod and cut the crank down to fit. Modified a 351 N head FTpiston so it would guide the rod since the Chevy rod was narrower than the Ford. Chevy 1.94 /1.6 Valves. 26918 Comp springs. Flat,Solid lift .565/575 custom ground cam. Some port work on the head, Milled the head and decked the block to get the compression up to 12-1. We also used a few parts from other engines as needed. Modified a set of BB Chevy 1.7 rockers and custom built P/Rods & guide plates.
