I'm really and truely dissapointed in this one. Clifford called me and told me that they had a big article coming up in the new issue of Mustang and Fords. Once again we six cylinder freaks have been let down. When is someone going to do a real buildup? When are the actually going to provide the consumers with some numbers? Flow sheets, cam specs, dyno numers, track times, ANYTHING!!! All I've seen are pictures of products and huge unsubstantiated claims.
Whoever read or plans to read this article take it with a grain of salt. I've never seen a published piece with so many errors in it. As soon as I began I saw a picture of a 223 from the 50's and they were actually trying to passing it off as part of the 240/300 engine. These two families of engines were never even produced at the same time and have some extreemly significant differences.
Although the article focused on the falcon six, the info there was just as bad reguarding block castings and the 144/170/200 differences. AND PLEASE, no one go out and buy a 2 barrel carb for your six thinking you will make more power...YOU WON'T!!! I can't believe they actually make a 20-30HP claim...
Oh well, maybe one of these days we will be represented a little more thoroughly and with correct information.
Clifford get's a big THUMBS DOWN...
Ok, I'm done ranting. Thanks for listening.
