Hi Guys,
I'm the new kid on the block. My name is Riley,I am 22 years old and I'm from Toronto, Canada. I have a 66 nightmist blue mustang coupe. I'm glad to be a part of the inline 6 community. My engine is on its last legs and I am pulling it to rebuild it in a few weeks. I went to a junkyard today and found what I think is a suitable large log head. Its off a 1980 mercury monarch 250. I've done my research and i have read the inline 6 handbook many times. I'm looking for clarification on the cylinder head. the casting code of the one i found is a E0BE-BB and in the handbook under the 250 CU category its says that this head from 80-82 in all ford cars is undesirable as it is a smog port head. but in the 200 CU category with the same casting number E0BE-BB off a fairmont/zephyr of the same vintage the book says it IS desirable. Could someone just let me know if a E0BE-BB casting head is a good large log head to modify and put on my 66 block. Im taking the head to a machine shop so its no big deal if there are just some smog ports that need to be tapped and plugged.
Cheers,
Riley
