Best place to get parts for a 250cid?

[RocketFoot]

Where is the best place to get parts to rebuild this 250cid? I have been looking at Classic Inlines but it looks like they mainly have stuff for 200's? Forgive me if this is a silly question...I'm new to the whole inline 6 thing, LOL.

Most of the engine parts will interchange between the 200 and 250.

The parts that will interchange are head, valvetrain (except pushrods), pistons, rings, distributor, some headers (starter in different locations).

The parts that won't interchange are the push rods (250s are longer), water pump (250s have 4 bolts), rods (250s are longer), crank and accompanying bearings and seals, oil pump, oil pan (250s are wider) and gasket, flywheels and clutches, and bellhousing (250 uses V8 pattern).

You can also read this http://www.fordsix.com/250swap.php for info.

If you haven't gotten it yet, purchase The Ford Falcon SIX Cylinder PERFORMANCE HANDBOOK from Mike or here:

The handbook will go into more detail in the similarities and differences.

Good luck.

Thanks! I do see that Classic Inline has parts for the 250's...I was just looking at package deals and not individual items. I might need a header pipe too, mine is pretty ugly but still intact!
