Build what you have!!

Most that know me Think I am a nut for hot rodding Inline sixes but I do know some BSers also have an affliction for the little sixes. The Inline Six is alive and well in other countries. Argentina's best selling car for 28 years was the Ford Falcon even though the body style never changed from 1962 to 1991 except for the Grill, headlights and interior, like most Argentine cars the Falcon only came with an Inline six starting with the 144 and ending with the HP 223. There is a huge speed part market for these sixes there. check out the vid of this 223 Falcon screaming to 7,000 rpm shifts.

Hell yeah! I am building them as fast as I can. Just so happens I have lots of stuff... Been thinkin about building a 6 Mustang, Falcon, or Comet just for fun. Maybe something for my daughter to drive.

[TheSilverBuick]

AND THAT, SIR, IS WHY I'M BUILDING THE PONTIAC OHC SIX!! Hell yeah!

[Barry Donovan]

any links to the inline 6 hi po market ?

I would be surprised if there is.

they had a long time of years to learn and get that inline moving.

I drove a 200, and 250
ford, chevy.

winding them up was out of the question. those guys must be smart.

the south american story of the carbed boxer is bewildering as well.. they are the last on planet earth to get them from a factory.. and no usa delivery. subaru, and vw.. the both of them.

not surprising about the six cyl kicking butt there...and that vid was impressive.

I have been searching for outlets for parts. I made contact with a bodyman from Argentina. they have access to a lot of new sheetmetal not available in the U.S. . He has givin me some prices and even with shipping Quote the parts are cheap. new 62 falcon fenders $28.00 each Torque boxes $ 6.00 U.S. etc. The best place for Ford sixes right now is www.classicinlines.com. Check out the site,how about 502 ft/pds of torque at the tires from 200 cubes.Oh yeah , silverbuick I have been following your build and can't wait to see another hot rod six on the road.

I'm hoping the last week of May I'll be able to take the blocks and heads to a machine shop for cleaning and checking out.

Here's a nifty inline six that was at a local
car show last Summer.

Straight sixes are cool! If I ever bought a car with a six I'd have a hard time swapping it for a V8.

[BOOOGHAR]

im gunna pass the info along to my friend eli here bout the straight 6, hes been cussing at the one in his car for months now, hope he decides to keep it now

Hopefully soon I'll reply to this thread with new video of mine with new split exhaust. I won't be running it up to 7k though!

Anyone who would Hot Rod an inline six must be out of his mind! Believe me - I know!

There's a guy in Florida who has access to some of the Argentine Chevy six bits - I'll have to spend some Google time to find him as I lost the link when I got my new 'puter. He has the turbo exhaust manifolds in stock. The 250 Chevy is like a SBC down there. Crower makes Sportsman rods as a standard item and there's other stuff out there, too. Not too sure on the Ford stuff but I know there's lots for the /6. Inlines are SO cool!
