Wanted: Magazine articles with dynos of 170s or 250s

Greetings Ford Six Fans,

Plan to take Ranchero for another dyno soon, which has spurred an interest in how much RWHP (which is not SAE HP) these engines had when stock. Surely Car & Driver, Hemmings Motor News, or some similar magazine did chassis dyno testing on some Fords with US small sixes? (144 and 200 would be interesting, but not my focus currently).

Interested in 170 because that was original engine in Ranchero (with three on the tree), 250 for obvious reasons.

Thanks
Bob

did U use the search function?

Isn't there that info in the above tech archive?

Personally, I don't have any mags or articles...

If you look at the Tech Archive, Mike did some dyno runs on stock 200 and 250 engines.

Here's a writeup where a 200 was dyno'd in stages from bone stock to the CI alloy head with 4Bbl:

Hope this helps.

@chad and @rocklord,

I have read all of the CI dyno results. Unless I overlooked it, there are no stock 170 dynos, and the most baseline 250 dyno is still a somewhat modified engine (for example, with headers).

I was hoping that stock engines must have been dynoed in period reviews or magazine articles.

Thanks
Bob
