Former Wichitan here with an appreciation for straight sixes, especially Fords. The 300 in a Fsirmont is impressive. My folks had an 80 wagon with the 200. That was a bullet proof motor in its own right. Keep up the great works.
Love the car, i have long suspected there is far more in those engines than has been tapped, watching the Ambrose & Argenta comp altered driven by Steve Ambrose ,with that cross flow AJPE head and who knows how many tricks run deep in the sevens!. Mr .Lopez i am blown away to see how quick youe car is with a factory head,and and a drag n driver , totally BADASS! BE SAFE!
This is such a cool engine configuration. I'm working a deal on one right now so that I can get the horrible 4.2 out of my F150 and I'll be doing a full build on the engine to try to get about 500hp with port injection. I figure that if I can get enough out of it I can make my f150 go from a boring ride to a fun drift build with a 5 speed and hand brake.
300 is definitely a big block, I'm going 4.200 with sleeves and a 4.400 stroke Give a V8 4.2x4.4 and you get 487 cubic inches which is definitely big block territory hahaha I'm going with a sequential turbo setup but more so for my f350 instead
"Big Block" doesn't refer to piston size or displacement. A Big Block has a longer spacing between the bore centers then a Small Block, so the cylinders are further apart from each other. It's this that enables a Big Block to have large diameter bores for short stokes while retain large displacement numbers. That's what makes it possible to spin them to high RPM. Some folks used to say 'above 4" spacing is Big Block, below 4" center to center, is Small Block'. IIRC, the 300 has a larger bore spacing then the family that had the 250 Crossflow, 3.9, 4.0 and Barra, so probably does count as a Big Block Six Cylinder.
@@PiDsPagePrototypes in terms of bore spacing the 300 is 4.48, the 454 Chevy is 4.6 While the Cleveland I recall being 4.200 or so but I don't remember if that was for another motor or not
Not going to enter the big block v. small block conversation. I love the ford 300, and still have one in a 66 f-100. I did not realize the 300 would fit in a passenger car, as they are significantly larger than the smaller ford inline 6 motors.
This is the one of the coolest builds in the race this year!! Love it
Not ol CP. Surprised to see this right here. Just used to seeing you do the flyers and hear about you from the Nicks in jersey.
Damn!!!! This is amazing 🎉
Man, that is one sweet wagon ! Love the 300 six. I have fond memories of my '84 F-150 with the six and a 4 speed overdrive !

By far one the coolest cars there!!
So cool. Surprised the stock head could flow that much even ported.

Love that you put a straight 6 in!
Looks like you are at bandemiere
No he loves the stroke and the t.qs.
awesome setup
I'd like to see a company produce an aluminum cross flow cleveland style head for the 300
What an awesome ride!!!
Totally badass
I always wanted to do this to my 88 coupe

It's a damn shame the US never got the Barra.
I cannot find this answer on Google at all. What year Fairmonts had wing windows?
Wait till he gets his hand on a Barra motor then he'll see some real power.
barra's arent as easy to get parts for, and he's making about 1,000 at the flywheel now, is that not "real power"?
Wonder if the UPS trucks had steel cranks?
Awesome
And we didn’t get a chance to hear it run?!
Only thing on my bucket list currently is to attempt a Drag and Drive event. Anyone need a copilot/mechanic? lol
What intake manifold is that?
looks like a clifford intake, my opinion

@@Project-gr6zy 300 definitely qualified then :)
