    This video never gets old for me. It just keeps me inspired that one day I will be able to do something to my little Ford 200 like these people have to theirs.

    i took the hooker headers for the inline 6, two borla xs mufflers and modified an 2" stainless exhaust system for a v8 - it needs to extra bends where it goes from the trans tunnel to the header.

    i haven't looked into mpg, but i certainly woke the engine up a lot. since then, i have made many modifications like the oz head.

    which engine pictures would you like to see? i'll take some this weekend...

    Any engine pics would be nice. I'm going to stick with my i6 and would love to see others that have been modded.

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Those I6 are sweet. Im helping my uncle with his 200ci falcon. It has a duraspark electronic ignition swap. Early adjustable rocker arms. dual selectable 2inch exhaust with a cherrybomb turbo II muffler and a 40series flowmaster. It also has mopar 200ci emblems off a 70s townshead van. Future plans include a 2bbl carb and mild cam swap.
