Has Any One Seen A Factory 6cyl Head With The 3,4 Port Divided? I Have One 68 Casting And It Is Not A Port Divider, It Was Cast This Way From The Factory. Never Seen One As Long As I Have Been Messing With Ford Sixes. Thanks And Happy New Year!
maybe someone in the dark distant past had the port welded up or it's one of those anomolies you find either way it's time for a header
No Doubt About The Header, Got It Waiting, But Its Is Definitly A Casting Or Someone Really Did A Great Job Welding And Blending. If I Could Figure Out How To Add Pics I Could Show It. Picture Is Worth 1000 Words As They Say.
The late 170 heads (D0DZ 6049-A) had a separator cast into the head that made the two ports individual (3 & 4). I don't remember if the 200 engines carried it on or not and I have not had a 250 head off - no nead to yet. That 170 head also had larger valves and a tub type chamber that made compression fast with milling. If you used it with the earlier adjustable rocker arms you could get better than 9.5 :1 compression and use a solid lifter cam that would go to over 6000 RPM using 260 V8 valve springs, retainers and keepers. All you needed was some decent carburetion and you had a screaming 6 cylinder in a '62 Falcon. The Mustang sway bars fit and it handled pretty good for a family economy car. I milled the log in the center and made an adapter to mount the ford two barrel carb from a 260 V8. It was a hot little car with header and 60 series tires. (gosh I'm old!)
