    Id like to know who out there has a 6 cyl in their Maverick or Comet. If its dressed up could you post some pictures of your engine compartment? I would like to see whats out there and what some of you guys did to make it look Good under the Hood.

    Look up Gene Fiore. He may have some pics in his gallery. His 6 looks good and runs good too.

    Actually I think the 3rd pic in the last post is his car, the red engine bay.

    It's a Fairlane with a Ford 250 Six.

    But it's got the fancy australian parts that we never got here in the states :mad:


    I want that crossflow head so bad! I don't care too much for the classic inlines aluminum head.

    I am in the process of adding a Holly 350-2V to my 72 Grabber. My buddy milled the head for the 2 barrel adapter this weekend. Taking the head to the shop for mild porting, larger valves with 3 angle and harden seats and milled to the limit. Adding DSII dist and colorful Ford blue wires and chrome valve cover. Have not picked the air breather yet.

    Here is Classic Inlines gallery: http://www.classicinlines.com/PhotoFordsix.asp
