Ok, well recently i came into ownership of a 4 door 65 ford falcon with a 200 straight six. Basically the engine is in bad need of a rebiuld, and thats going to be done but i had some questions in regards to performance upgrades for after i rebiuld it. Now first off, i dont want to bore it out, now that thats clear here are the questions.
1. Carb adaptor for a duel barrel, ok well basically i've been able to find adaptors but i was wondering if somebody could like make a list of all the things i would need to have (i already know i need the carb
) caue the descriptions are quite confusing and i dont want to buy all this stuff just to find i need something else too.
2. also i was debating getting a better camshaft put in it but i couldnt decide what type. I have purchased the ford falcon handbook, and i did see the large variety, but i also wanted some peoples personal opinions. I'd pretty much be using it for driving around town, not any real extreme stuff like to where i'd need a radical cam. Basically one that combines good performance with every day driving.
3. I noticed on the ford six store (i think it was that store) that ford performance headers are fairly cheap as oppossed to other headers i could buy, are they still fairly high quality? Cause for 340 i could get some headers with ceramic coating and that damn good.
Now onto the last question, just like where could i find some parts for it, specifically would it be possibly to find a new rocker arm shaft that was fully assembled already (i could assemble it, but i would like it to be pre assembled) Mine is in decent shape, but my friend suggests that we cant fully clean out the cruddy oil that is int he shaft so we should replace it all togethor. If possibly links like nappa or kregan would be good, but if its a website as long as its got good reccomendation i'm cool with that too.
Thank you for any help you provide, and for having such a wonderful community
. Its quite interesting to see the amount of people interested in keeping thier straight sixs.
