Hi,

Just bought a '69 Econoline E200 from California - nicknamed it the murder van smile

Who's the go to in the UK for straight 6's ? I see Realsteel for the V8's but they don't seem to be into the 6's

thanks

Lee

Don't the Auzzies do a fair bit of tuning stuff for FoMoCo big sixes?

There's a bit of info here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_straight-six_en...

note the bit below where it talks about aussie fords and swapping a 250 falcon head on.

I don't think there is anyone laugh

There's chap in Essex by the name of Colin, who is into working on the old flathead straight 6 Plymouth and Dodge engines from the 40's....not sure if later OHV ones are up his street or not - a mate uses him for doing work, so can get details if Essex is any good for you?
