piston ring groove cleaner,ridge reamer,bore hone,in-lb and ft-lb torque wrenches,a 3/8" drive ratchet,sockets,wrenches and other misc things you should have around.If you're going to strip and repaint the block and head and the likes get a wire brush attachment for your drill.

More importanly, a Mitutoyo 6" outer micrometer, best rented, used for crank measurement. A 2- 4" inner micrometer for rods and pistons bores. Plastigauge is a must before the crank is to be used.

Dedicated note pad for the project.


And remember, the Ford Six bible, a vertiable gold mine of talmadic wisdom...The Ford Falcon SIX Cylinder Performance Handbook has 96 pages of History, Facts, and Information to help you get more power out of your small Ford SIX for only $14.95.

Yeah. Put the Falcon Performance Handbook at the top of the list and everything else will fall into place. AND you wont waste any money on needless frills.
