    Hello!!
    In Argentina, stock ¨Falcon Sprint ´74-´82¨, with 221Cu.In., and cast iron head, with multiple intake, and Holley 2brl of 40mm (I estimate no more 350cfm), got 170hp.
    With THIS head, and ignition, but, better exhaust, probably find the 250hps, but, this type of head used only in TC (Turismo Carretera) competitión, fabricated here, ONLY for this racer cars.
    With these heads, and 188 cu.in, at 9.000 rpm generates more than 300hp!!!
    But, not got these torque!!
    Beautyfull gob man! Greatings

    We still haven't made it to a dyno. We estimate it added somewhere around 75 hp to the engine.
    The stock engine puts out ab out 75 rear wheel hp. With the head and all the other mods we've done, we're somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 hp right now.

    I liked your build but I was disappointed that you didn't start the engine because I believe that it has some cool sounds for sure 👍

    • @LRobaldo
      @LRobaldo  2 года назад

      Wow, that was 12 years ago. The company that made the header is long gone and that car was sold to a new owner a while back.
      If you want to hear it go to this link: ruclips.net/video/3q11EJa6tkQ/видео.html
      But you might be a bit disappointed, it was still using the stock exhaust setup and sounded just like stock, but ran pretty rough.

  • @LRobaldo
    @LRobaldo  12 лет назад +1

    Thank you for the kind words.
    I have a similar adapter to the one you describe on my 65 ragtop which let me bolt in a Weber carb.
    We got the head and intake from Classic Inlines.
    We also have an Arvinode exhaust system to install on it as soon as we get some time.

    Depending on the mods, some have attained 300+ HP on the Ford inline 6 cyl. That's with the aluminum head, a turbo or supercharger bolted on, 4bbl carb, cam & electronic distributor.

    I want one of these cylinder heads so bad - I dont even think they're accepting orders at the moment because the waitlist got so long. This looks incredible.

    • @LRobaldo
      @LRobaldo  3 года назад

      It is my understanding that the man who made these has since passed away and any Rema stock has since been sold.
      There was someone who was trying to resurrect them but I'm not sure if that ever happened.

      @@LRobaldo I think you're right mate. The fist guy was 'Classic Inlines' and the new guys are 'Vintage Inline'. Hoping they manage to sort out remaking these because I would love one.

    Any exhaust header that fits the stock exhaust will fit this new head. However you do not need the port divider. This is a brand new completely redesigned head. All exhaust ports are separate and there is no need for a port divider.

    No prob, and I used a cortico head gasket also purchased from classic inlines, stock thickness. No, I did not do the cam at the same time. That'll be a future upgrade sometime.

    Ford Australia made in the early 1980s to late 1980s an Alloy Cleveland V8 style cantered valve head for the 200 and 250 ci six , it was multi point fuel injected in later. Models , it will bolt on any 144, 170, 188, 221, 200 or 250 ci Ford Six, runs Ford EEC lV ecu . They can be bought cheap at any aussie wrecking yard and freight to US is about $120 US . Parts are no problem in US for the head , it runs standard V8 Cleveland valves, springs, rockers . Rimg an Aussie wrecking yard they will have piles of them !

    Hey all you people that have old mustang's Falcons comets ect and want to stiffen up the rearend check out Calvert racing cal tracks its a link suspension that works and its only around 375.00 easy to install I did mine in a weekend just bought another 63comet and am ordering another unit Calvert racing is in Lancaster ca I talked to travis kankirk hell of a nice and informative man

  • @LRobaldo
    @LRobaldo  14 лет назад

    We thought about that, but unfortunately the "hood latch support bracket" runs from the top of the grill to the bottom of the radiator. It only has about 1/2" clearance between it an the radiator.
    We couldnt' figure out a way to eliminate the bracket witout resorting to hood pins which we do not want.

    Hi there I have just installed a OZ 2V head (very similar to your Classic Inlines head) on my 66 mustang 200 engine, I have re-used the original rocker arms, the car is running very poorly, I'm guessing it needs the valve lash set, did your engine run ok with the original rocker arms?? thanks Cameron

  • @Thughes97
    @Thughes97 15 лет назад

    sweet! im definitely going to put some consideration into getting one of those for mine

  • @LRobaldo
    @LRobaldo  15 лет назад

    I haven't dynoed it yet, but it definitely put a jump in the seat of the pants feel!
    Most people I know who have dynoed theirs get between 40 & 75 increase in rear wheel HP from it, depending on what other mods their engine has.
    Considering that the stock engine puts out around 75 rear wheel hp, this head nearly doubles it!

    I could use some help. I've got a 68 200ci inline and I'm planning on buying this head too. The engine block is stock. I'm a newbie to a lot of this so I need help understanding and getting the right C/R for my daily driver. Looking at charts my car has a cc of 51-53 and this head is at 51cc+/- 1. How do I account for the gasket etc? According to charts my C/R is 8.7:1 while they recommend 9:1.

  • @retromototoys
    @retromototoys 10 лет назад

    I have the Aussie head...which sized automate 2100 did you use...I luckily picked up 5 of them for $50, and I'm thinking the 3.14 carb would be good. Still have to figure out the pushrod sizes.

    Will this head allow me to hook up a Clifford Performance split header and weld in their 3rd & 4th port divider? Classic Inline's headers sound terrible compared to Clifford Petformance's.

    • @psygnale
      @psygnale 6 лет назад

      I know this is late, but for anyone wondering...
      Snag an adjustabile pushrod. Repeatedly adjust and install until proper spec. Measure the final length then order a set of that length.

    Smart move studding the block. Kind of surprised someone put out an aftermarket aluminum head and didn't engineer it to be cross flow. Be nice to swap in a 300 inch Ford inline 6.

    • @chancejif

    that looks exceptionally good!
    I had a 66 mustang with the I6 200 cubic inches. way back then (26 yrs ago) I made an adapter from 1 1/4" aluminum plate and put that same carburetor on it.
    I had put a california turbo muffler on it. Everybody thought I had a 289.
    It would get rubber in second gear really really good.
    Where did you get the head and Intake, its awesome that there's aftermarket support for these now.

    Big dollar parts and improvements EVERYWHERE, but then you run it through a Stock "HotBox" header, instead of Extractors? All that power you could have made, would be CHOKING the engine, trying to escape. Should've saved some dough on your pretty rocker cover and bought a set of performance extractors.

    • @LRobaldo
      @LRobaldo  8 лет назад +5
