    I own two 1972 ford mavericks, both with 250 straight sixes, we are trying to find a head that has a separate intake to fit a better carburetor. I've heard of the Aussie 250 head, but can't seem to find one, any ideas where I can find one, or something else that can fix our problem?

    But V8's are boring you see them ALL the time, build up the 6! :thumbs2:

    I'm a V8 guy myself though and currently swapping a 200 for a 302 :hide:

    I don't think I will have the money to invest in it right now, I personally like working on the I6s and the sound of them. I priced the heads a little, and it doesn't look like I'm can get what I'm looking for without going over $2000.

    What problem are you having? You can get carb kits and rebuilt carbs for your engines. :)
