All Small Six A 200 Rebuild start

[Mustango]

I was able to find a 1980 250 head here locally. Had it magnifluxed and is good to move ahead. Setting my sight for next May for a rebuild. Retiring then and will be “real estate” rich that will allow this to get done right. I’ll be getting the falcon six book as noted. I’ll be collecting parts for the next year to drop it off for the work. Here some picks of the head. Yee Haw!!

Ford Inline Six: How to Rebuild and Modify | Vintage Inlines

Covering Ford’s small 6-cylinder engine made famous in Falcons, Comets, Mustangs, and many other models from the 1960s and 1970s, this book has everything you need to know from step-by-step rebuilding instructions to performance parts that will set you apart from the rest of the crowd. If this...

I like ur plan: a long period of research and planning 1st. Every restomod (if swirchin yrs, models or makes) I
get back to these topics. ID components, their potential, what is an up grade (& worth it?). It's actually fun for me.
Love the history on the ThriftPower 6 (all 6 of 'em).
W E L C O M E !!!
What application will this (I assume) 'stang end up with? What octane will U pump?

 

[Mustango]

I get the book today. The timeline has moved up a few months. July,Aug start by mechanic (his call). High octane 3/4 cam set up should be great with the 250 head. 4-6 weeks for all the engine work.
May not have to bore but don't know
Double rocker TC

While the engine is out my mechanic will.
Install disc 4 lug brakes
New cut front stock springs. I'm going to cut one coil
New rear springs with all new hardware
Going to add 2 inches to the A/C rack for the headers to fit
I have to reorient the battery for this to work. That will be done soon by a metal worker.
The wife has insisted on new TMI front seats 2G's
