I just got a 82 Ford with a 300 6 cylinder. Those engines are bad ass. Good for cold starts. im thinking of getting new parts for it.

This sound like a 300 I can respect.

wtf you feeding this thing thats evil for a straight six excellent work!!

I love your truck color year motor

Damn thats one pissed off straight 6. Sounds like an 8 when you are idling

Very nice better than 302 v8 for a truck. All the straight 6's are nice to run. 250 chevy,225 chrysler and 258 amc/jeep have lots of fun potential.

Nice man so nice

damn......that is a wicked 6 cyl!!!

Thanks

best motor Ford ever made. period.

One Bad Ass 300!

god damn that's got some compression

that 300 is one of the best motors ford put out!!!!!

If you're running the Cyclone headers, get an X-pipe. It's good for a few more horses, and some extra torque too. Keep the exhaust 2.5 inches all the way out the back, too.

Very, very, very nice setup. I find those300ci Sixes to be amazing engines. From what I've heard, they're just about impossible to kill. Nice work.

This is part of the build spex, as noted in the first reply: Ross Racing forged pistons 9.5:1, .030 over Hedman header Crane full roller rockers for a pedestal mount 302 no special treatment to rods or block.

wow that is prettey much the same setup i got on my 84 bronco but i have a truck avenger 470 carb

It's a C6 with a stock converter, and a shift kit. The 1 barrel got dumped in favor of the Edelbrock 4bbl.

Yes.

It is a little louder than a stock truck. We ran this truck open header to break in the cam. It's for sure louder than my 67 in the "ford 300 open header" video.

66-248-4 is the part number. You can find it at Summit, Jegs, or just about any parts store.

@PoorUglyBastards4x4 It's the stock head with a few minor things, like new/ bigger valves, and stiffer springs. This cost him around $5000, but that includes a rebuilt C6.

Maybe it's the modern era, but the 6 cyl engine impresses me more than the 390/460 versions of this truck.

no issues for over 3 years now.

We got most of our stuff from Summit, but you can use them, Jegs, or even most local parts stores. What you look for depend son what you want out of it. Stop by one of the forums like fordsix

Dude, that is cool, the farm truck from hell !

I have a 96 f150 with a 300 inline six in it. My Grandpa gave it to me when I was 16 dude i'll tell you a 300 six is THE BEST ENGINE EVER MADE you can't kill the engine

@dirtastegood go with the offenhauser intake, had one on my 1980 f100 2wd. intake with 500cfm 4bbl. dont switch to a 302 V8 like i did unless you plan on building it, 300I6 has alot more torque.

can't beat a good inline six

I just got myself an edsel wagon and it comes witha v8 .i want too put an engine just like that one.i like the extra room in the compartment.hopefully i find somebody that will trade me.

This truck really is nice driving. The power is good, pulls hard from idle all the way up to 5200.

No port work done, and probably should have, but it runs pretty good as is. It's a carbed 80s head. Have you poked around forsix? They have a few piston combos that work well. Either a 351W or 352FE piston is used as a cheap compression bump. The ones in this 300 are custom forged by Ross.

Those are surprising 6's. 7 main bearings, and forged cranks available. They like to crack pistons, but forged ones will cure that. About 30 years ago, Ak Miller drove a 1966 Mustang with a big 6 to bonneville, uncorked his headers, ran 145 mph both ways. Then corked up and went home. Nice.

Dat chop! Sounds so good.

Heads pnp ( to scribed gasket then blended back ) mild pocket port, floor and roof cleaned up casting flash gone 1.78x 1.50 SS valves 3angle cam 220@.050 lift .503 LSA 110..9.1 : 1 ratio TRW pistons good rings bearing and premium gaskets...ARP mains and rod bolts, balanced assembly. Clifford and Offy manifolds, 500 cfm Holley new distributor, Blaster coil, good 8mm wires. dynoed @ 322 lb ft and 276 hp at the flywheel with dual exhaust and alt/ stock w.pump..not bad...if someone would come up with a crossflow head with 1.94x1.60 and 185cc ports, this would be up 50 hp more and still be very good on the street with a 600 cfm 1850 or a pro- jection 670 FI ...would pull a house down and last 250k if maintained

@JProckz28 It runs great! Puts shame to many chevy boys around town, even new stock Dodge diesels.

That is a sick looking motor. Sounds ballsy man, keep up the good work!

Good grief, Im getting a heart throb for that truck.

It sounded like a V-8 there at 1st. I am impressed. The 300's are tough motors!

I have an F150 with the 300 stock, I cant believe this one with the dualies, man it sounds like a cammed out V8...Nice job on the motor, looks great! Way cool.

They are Flowmaster 50 series

it's a C6 auto with a shift kit. It'll squeal the tires with a yard of gravel in the bed.

It's listed in the 1st reply. The only thing that really should've been done that wasnt, would be porting the head.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNNNN!!!! That is beautiful! Love the I6

The 300 six has always been a motor that could pull and has been known for running long after 200,000. miles I have always been a fan of the 300.

sounds pretty badass at idle for an inline 6. nice video! and ford. :]

Sounds really nice.

@LilReddneck A Cleveland is far from shitty. I would certainly not put one in a pickup, but a light car, they scream. I built a pretty nice one back in 94. Now, a 400 with cleveland heads, would go in a half ton pickup, maybe pulling light loads. This 300 in the video? It does anything you want... drags, cruising, towing, commuting.

That's one nice sounding Ford 300 I-6. One day our '68 300 I-6 we be built past it's factory 170 HP rating.

It's not a roller cam, but there's a guy on fordsix that's making a few. The roller rockers are actually for a 302 pedestal mount. Had to use these because the head was already installed, and any other rocker would require machining. Since it spins under 5500, and valve springs arent that stiff, I didnt see the issue with running this type. This head is off an 82. The older ones are easier to run rollers on. Just about every cam mfr makes em for a 300, just gotta look.

Great Job! What Mufflers are they running on there? Im putting a 4.9 together using a similar parts list for a 79 F100 - We'll post video this spring when its all back together. The truck is in ALOT of peices. Total Frame off Resto Job.

If you look closer, it's an inline 6, not a V6.

Thanks. It gets 17 on a good day. Stock was a 360 and it got 10mpg.

Just be careful the rubber band that powers your water pump doesn't snap.

beast. that is pretty sweet i got a 1980 ford f100 with one of those motors. it don't sound like that. how much power are you making?

66-248-4 is the part number. You can find it at Summit, Jegs, or just about any parts store. Works great with a stock torque converter.

@04yz125Man Yes. Both this truck and my truck have the same header. Also, the intake is bolted to the exhaust manifold. It sends exhaust to warm up the intake. If you run a header with a 4bbl intake, it may run crappy when its cold. A couple ways to cure it are, run heater lines and make a block for the bottom side of the intake. And #2, get 2 sets of manifold heat risers.

Got it at Summit, but it will hit the frame on a 67-72. It's a Hedman, I think it was $150. Makes a nice difference in power when coupled to a 2 or 4bbl intake.

We're guesstimating close to 300hp, and maybe 400 pounds of torque.

It's a 72 F100. Not sure of actual cost, but if you look at the very first reply to this video, you will get the idea. The pistons alone cost $900

Great sound!!!!!!! KOOL!!

man nice truck! i truly wish it was mine :-)

@nevrenufhp Better than my bone stock OEM version. Mine is like 10 around town maybe 14 on the highway.

oh yea the 300 inline six runs forever my dad had an 80 something ford 4x4 sitting in the backyard for a year and had it as long as I can remember.....engine was the only thing worth keeping but he's far too old for any projects he says he's not old just mature lol

you can get about all you need at Clifford Performance. It is costly, you can make a good power plant without all the shiny wizbangs and such.

I sold my 1985 F-150 with a 300 to my uncle 5 years ago and I've regretted it ever since. Looks like its time to buy it back.

Badass!!! Those 300's had bullet proof bottom ends to begin with! I had 3 of em, fuckin great motors!

@nevrenufhp Thank you! never thought of summit thats where we ordered the 6'' highrise for our chevy

badass!

i have one my f250 w crane cam kit w evry thang and roler rockers intake came from summit raseing cliford performance and alum vavl cover . love the lope ....

i put a hedman header on my '77. i had to drop a crossmember and put the starter in while the headers were half way in. it was a huge pain in the ass but the sound and performance was worth it

Yes indeed. Doing what it's made to do.

@thewheeze They were off the shelf springs for a small Chevy that the machine shop had. Just order the ones Comp recommends with this cam. Better yet, order the K-kit so you get the cam, lifters, springs, valve seals, and timing set

@Maples01 thats awesome, built ford tough, i have a 302 in my garage with 200,000 miles on it i usually start it up to make some noise and rip out some flames

Besides the list of mods?: "my nephew's 72 F100, a 300 winding up to 5200rpm built with S.B.Chevy valves, Comp roller rockers, Comp 268 cam, Ross forged pistons 9.5:1 cr, MSD 6a, MSD blaster II, Headman header, OFFY C intake, Edelbrock 500 carb, and coupled to a C6 trans. Exhaust leaves the header to dual 2.25 inch with Flowmaster Series 50s"

The "wizbang" valve cover is from Clifford, and was needed to clear the roller rockers. We replaced the original worn out ones with the rollers as an upgrade, since it needed a set anyway. Good luck ordering anything from Clifford! Just hang out on forums like fordsix, FTE, or fordification for some good build advice.

Torque is around 400 pounds, it launches pretty hard off the line. As soon as you hit the pedal it wants to go. Not too much trouble passing at all.....according to my nephew. The valve cover is from Clifford, it took 3-4 months of backorder to get it. Words of wisdom: Dont order one between Halloween and New Year's.

@nevrenufhp i've looked for one but i guess they don't make them anymore. i guess i'll deal with the stock one painted up a little.

@amurican35 From what I remember, it was the adjuster nuts on the rocker arms that hit the stock cover. Yes, it was necessary to use the tall one. But it looks nice too.

Awesome!!

That's called a V-belt, my friend. There's two of them going to that water pump if that truck has power steering. I couldn't get a good look under there at the belts, tho, so I can't tell. I'll take a V-belt over Serpentine any day. Easier to get belts for older vehicles(Mower belts will fit right on there in a pinch) and they don't squeal as easy, and on most systems, if one belt breaks, you still have a second belt on the water pump.

got one in 1970 f 250 dam good motor ran good ..... be fore cam and re bulid hp got most of parts from summit rasing and clifford performance crane cam shaft before they went out bis it is tork cam

damn for a v6 that sounds good

The 300 is setup as listed in the very first comment. It has a header that splits to dual 2.25 inch collectors, then true dual out to the tail. One pipe runs across at the rear of the engine, then out to the back. The mufflers are just in front of the rear axle. I like them Slick side (65 & 66) F trucks!

I'm just glad it doesnt sound like an 8 when not Idling, I don't like 8 bangers.

thanks for the reply. they don't list them on the site anymore, maybe i should call them directly. seems like the 170/200 crowd is getting all the cool dress up parts.

oh yes you could - it merely means you will have to add a 'megasquirt' controller

@prodigys10 It's a Comp 268 with .456 lift. It runs great at all rpm. It's what I would suggest. If you're going to get a cam, might as well be able to hear it.

roughly 17, with mostly city driving.

The vortek style supercharger, they are basically a belt driven turbo plumbed into the throttle body. A turbo, you have to get a custom built manifold or try to use a stock iron one, fab up a mount for it, I saw one on here, think it's the Aussie 240 Ford inline, revving it cherry red.

@bobwatters There's lots more that could be done, but money is the limiting factor, as with any build. The main power secret is in the head. There's been many attempts to get 2 V8 heads welded together, but the intake and exhaust manifolds must be kustom made. There's also a place in australia that may be making a hi flow aluminum head. It's been a few years in the making.

They're all good! Go for different, and try a Ford (New Holland)6.6 and run big injectors & pump & turbo(or 2)!

They are Ross forged pistons, running 9.5:1, and were about $900. You can also use factory 8.2:1 pistons and a 240 head to bump it up over 9:1, which really makes a difference in mpg. The red truck in my other videos gets 12 mpg in town. All stock internals, but the same intake, carb & header as this one. The rods are factory. Yes, OHV. They are very tractor like in the way they run. Torque is there from idle up to 4k on a stock engine like the red truck and 5200 on this one.

@SoAdROX00 You have to buy an Offy or Clifford intake for a 4bbl. then, get a 4bbl carb. I used a piece of 1/4" all thread and ball sockets for the throttle.

The power comes in right at the stock stall speed of the C6's torque converter. It makes power from 1200 to around 5200, which is a broader range than a stock 300. I wouldn't want to put this cam with a manual trans & highway gears!

@stevenpolk17 ...They are standard old Chevy 350 vlaves: 1.94 and 1.60. You can get them at nearly any parts store, or a machine shop.

SWEET!!

A tired 360 making 200hp(at best), and 10mpg. And we put in a 300hp, 300 that gets 15-17mpg, I just dont get it either. Plus, did it to be a little different. Not everyone is happy with a Chevy 350 or Ford 302.

@fordstrummer It was roughly $5200 and that's with buying the engine too. This truck had a 360 in it. It has been estimated at 300hp/400tq

ok sold on that. what did pistons run you? Any rods or anything? Are these engines overhead valve? I know it's a stupid question I haven't seen one for over 3 years and back then i didn't know anything more than it had the covers on the side of the block like a flathead tractor motors had.
