Hey - i'm new here, but I was wondering what modification is needed for an Australian crossflow 250 head to fit on a US 250 block? I know it's possible, just not sure what I need. Thanks -Paul

Many here use the "Oz 2V" head as it is easier to adapt to our motors (rocker assmbly, VC, headers all fit). The Oz cross flow itself needs an adapter plate bolted up and is not a direct match.
VI dot com (1 of our members, Matt) has followed up w/an alu x-flow being currently cast for a direct fit to the USA falcon i6 engine. The developer, Mike W, also developed this (ford6) on-line site.
ask Jack (in Fla) our member who did that. Isint it his article U looked @?StarDiero75":3g7520ze said:Anyone know what shipping is roughly from Australia for that head?

I've purchased several Crossflow heads before from Oz. Shipping is a little over $300. There is no method cheaper than that.StarDiero75":s0ipjndg said:It really doesnt look like its uber difficult. Not easy but it definitely looks like something anyone whose a little daring could do.

This looks like someone made a DOHC work on a 200 using the crossflow DOHC head. The block doesnt look like it fits the block naturally, which is making me think this is our 200. Look at all the bolts and crap of where our stuff is. This is one nasty build if so. And the sound is godly.
