2V Aussie wheels road test 1971

[Anonymous]

HI, Anyone interseted in 2v specs

I have a modified 250 2v in a TD Cortina (had a four cylinder in it previously).

Australian Wheels Magazine road test September 1971 Titled "Fords Fiery Six" says that the 250 2V was 2.3 seconds quicker from 0-60mph (14.0 down to 10.7) and 1.3 seconds quicker on the standing quarter mile (18.3 to 17).
Take into account that this was with a Aussie two barrel carb that flowed only about 220-230 cfm.
I put a holley 350 on mine recently, smoothness and power increased noticably. I now have a 500 holley on it and noticed a marked increase in performance again over the 350. I have not yet checked the economy with the 500. But with the 350 I got 26 mpg at 65mph over fairly hilly terrain. [/b]

Sorry, cant add up 14 down to 10.7 seconds is 3.3 seconds quicker not 2.3 as in above. And they advertise that threre is only 15hp difference between the ausssie intergral manifold six and the 2V. find it a bit hard to believe?

Anyone out there who has a 250 2v with a non stock cam. Id be really interested to know its specs and how it behaves in the car. in Australia there are no actual cam suppliers with cam specs suited specifically for the 2V. the closest is a Log head 250 which has a different torque curve (not very close at all in other words)
It would be good to get a comparison
Mine is fairly mild 204 duration at 50, 264 advertised dur, 417 lift, 110 deg lobe separation, rpm range 1200-4700. very slight but distict lope at idle. I havent tested the upper limits of it yet. but from about 1500 I planted the foot fairly hard (with 500 holley) it hesitated very slightly (did this to see if it would bog down) it then took off hard and smooth pulling all the way through rev range. It seems to have tones of power above 3000 rpm. Ive never had a car that compares to it with power from three up.
Anyone else?

I am putting a 250 2v on a 68 US 200 with this CAM:


270/280 204/214 @ .050 .420"/.442" 110* L/A

The rest of the engine is:

Bored .030 over, complete balance and all performance internal parts (moly rods, double springs, Full Roller rockers, static and dynamic balance, runnin 9.5.1 CR)
Dual Roller Chain
Holley 5200 carb
Dual headers
Duraspark II MSD 6A control.
2.3 T5 with 3:25.1 rear gears and 15X7 wheels.

This engine will be up and running in about a month or so... You will have to wait until then to hear about its performance...

Should be a real screamer......

I have something similar to Jimbo.

260/270 208/214 @.050 .420/.440 lobe sep. is 110


I love it. It has a nice mild idle. It pulls great in all the RPM range. This is with a 350 Holley. I do have a little diesaling effect but I will turn down the idle or back off the timing and it should help.
