I'm posting this for Alan (denverflatheader)
Hi Glenn, could you take a look at this response. Again, I don't know your policy, here is another vendor "AJPE." If it's okay with you, it's okay with me if you just posted this response to Blind Mules question for me...... I'd post it if it's okay with you, but I'm not sure how to do it, or how it's going to transfer on the site, I've never done one like this before with the pictures in the verbiage.
Thank you for your time, Alan
I have posted this as it is not a dealer making the post, but a recommendation from a member, Glenn Blind Mule - I think if you have the block, that's a good start. I'd keep collecting parts to finish it. Built properly, in the right chassis, injected it will easily run in the mid 9s, a little more work and your into the 8s, if you're really really smart, maybe even break into the 7s on big percent of nitro with 1st class ignition. Pretty good for a mid-1960's engine block design.
My Ford 300 six was built by a friend (Wayne). It does have the 240 head with the smaller combustion chamber versus the 300 head, they're all 12 port heads, although not a crossflow style. He had ported the head and put in 1.94 & 1.60 ss valves, and crane al rockers. The crankshaft is a commercial truck item which Ford upgraded to forged steel versus cast for the cars and F-150 trucks, has racing rods/pistons. Hilborn does make an injection unit for this six, Wayne made my injection. You already know the block has 7 mains.
If you were interested in reducing the engine weight, there are some 12 port crossflow heads out there hiding in someones garage. See ad below from Alan Johnson Performance Engineering. His company made a drag race only head for the Ford 300 six cylinder about 10 years ago. Today from AJPE, they are NOT AVAILABLE, I'm guessing due to low demand for this product. I think complete the heads sold for around $13,500 ten years ago. I do not know how many his company sold, I'm guessing it was around 15-20 units to break even on his design cost. If you found one of these aluminum heads for your Ford six, you could really cut down your weigh, have larger intake valves and smaller combustion chamber than the 300 head, plus an excellent breather. There are some cast steel "12 port crossflow" factory Ford heads out there too, and they are also rare. I have only run across one of them in the Portland Oregon area one year ago. It was for sale and the owner and I could not come to terms. And if you really into these Ford 300 six, around 1980 Ford made a special high performance block, I've never seen one but of course they are stronger design and use better material for casting. I'm sure the same guy who has the aluminum heads hiding in his garage also has these limited run high hp six cylinder blocks........ Any questions, please ask DF
