The hose on the map sensor on the front should NOT be used in a blow through system. I'm the engineer at FiTech, so if needed, I can go take a look - we're in socal.

Having owned a 65 myself, it came as no surprise that he's got more work in the suspension than the engine. A wonderful car. I'm glad he went in this direction.

This is Does10s! Great build Gus! Really liked seeing the Classic Inlines/Vintage Inlines parts which Matt Cox is keeping alive and producing the heads and intakes again! FiTech is great fuel injection, but for our 6s we found the best to get equal distribution was to go injectors at each port. The Falcon is still running strong. For those suggesting the 240/300, the block is too long to fit without major surgery to the firewall or radiator support. Thanks for keeping it inline Gus!

Yeah Richard, built & turbo boosted Ford 300 big six, pulease!!

I love the inline 6's especially Ford's 300. I keep hoping you'll do one with mods and possibly a turbo.

So happy to see these builds getting attention. I'm working on building a boosted 200 for my 65 Falcon Hardtop

I think going with the Holley EFI setup with port fuel injection with the right throttle body might be the answer to the lack of fuel problem. Very cool car!

I love the "thinking outside the box" attitude. Definitely a unique ride! 6 cylinder engines are under rated, they have so much potential!

Was the best interview and car build, I've seen in a long time. Very cool car guy/owner.

Very cool! Richard types in ALL CAPS because he talks in ALL CAPS! Love the content!

I'm an Aussie,I've only seen this head TWICE,both on Aussie falcons,one was a 4 door,one was a coupe,same colour,same interior and C4 trans with a V8 yoke spec tailshaft and pinions,this is so bad ass,very jelly right now,and aussie spec pursuit centres in some fat hoops

AK Miller was a fan of Turbocharging the small Ford 6 back in the day, looking forward to the follow up on this!

This engine really makes the car for me. I wish more people gave the inline-6 some love.

I know on the Mitsubishi Starions with their TBI and turbo setups, the runners did cause an issue, and I think the runners on the Starion, are equal length, or at least closer in length to one another. Their path of direction was drastically different and even that caused uneven fuel distribution to each cylinder to where even slight modifications to air density would cause the outer cylinders to run leaner. People would tune the whole thing half a point richer on THAT setup just to get decent fuel delivery to the outer cylinders, because on those cars, 1 and 4 would always be the first to melt something due to heat from inadequate fueling. With this car, the length are Much longer on the outside to span the length of the ports while also having different shapes. On an NA setup, the pistons would be drawing it in, so a TBI setup would be fine because the cylinders pull in what they pull in, but putting boost into the mix adds another variable of air being rammed into the TBI and into the ports causing unwanted turbulence at the plenum where fuel and air has a hard time distributing properly to all of the cylinders. I'd say, at best, the two closest to the plenum are rich,, 2 and 4 are closer to the target AFR, and 1 and 6 are lean causing erratic AFR's giving you a poor baseline to tune from as well as being a recipe for premature engine wear if being run with that fuel delivery setup. I'd go MPI. My 2 cents based off what I know at least

Yes those heads were put on our, (Australian) 250 cubic inch, 4.1 litre engines. A friend of mine built one in 1988 with 3 side draught Webers. They're called 2V heads in Australia. Nice stuff

This is the perfect rival for the Nova when it receives the 292. Would love to see a drag battle! Love these other guys build reviews, please do more of these! Thanks for the video!

That's freaking cool! This is a perfect example of why i love your channel. The variety is awesome!

I followed Gus's build on KZfaq. Totally inspired my build this summer. I've been on the waiting list for one of those aluminum heads for almost two years now. Just broke in the new camshaft a couple of weeks ago, now it's snowing ;-(

Old school 6 cyl svo! Its an anomaly and thats what makes it cool. 👍

I own a six , super clean , chromed everything , when I pop the hood , people love it

In our early falcons here in Australia we had the 170pursuit or the big 200super pursuit. Would be cool badges for the front wings on that stang. He needs individual injectors either in the head or manifold, the bosses are there just waiting to be used.

Awesome episode, "do more with what you have", he didn't succumb to the temptation of installing a V8 in it, that takes a lot of discipline.

I couldn't afford the head and turbo,so I got a 1980 head.But pretty much the same deal in my 62 Ranchero.And with a 3.25 8" and T 5,I no longer worry about that 85 mph speed limit on the road to El Paso.When asked about h.p/torque,I do the Dr. Evil pinky thing and say one million.Been playing with it so long,I've now got a head for every day of the week.My favorite is the twin 32/36 on a 69 head. But it's thirsty.

Beatiful car!! Engine builders do magic here in argentina with those ford 200 cu.in. in our ford falcons cause its the only engine we have to play whith, currently there are using aluminum DOHC in that block for racing.congratulations to the owner of that beauty!

My Brother and I call these the "Grandpa Barra".

Master you should drop a few recipes for inline 6 that would be really amazing. 🔥 sounds really interesting for the folks that want to keep their car org + adding more power.

Brings back memories. I owned a '66 Mustang with that 200 & 3 speed on the floor. I thought if I had kept it that turbocharging it would have been neat. Alas I was young, and had a growing family to support so the car had to go to a new home.

Wow that is a wicked clean build whoever built it did a awesome job

Love it! Not another tired V8 build but something fresh and different. Inline 6 is best engine design ever.

Has to be the coolest fastback I have seen in 10 years easy. I wanna see the track footage. Intake is my guess with it different length tubes.

Richard, I love the simplicity of the fitech but this AWESOME CAR begs for multiport fuel injection with a proper log style intake that will deliver a "more" equal air charge! Man what a cool set up, I can't say it enough. I want to commend the owner on his great vision! I have a '74 Duster with a 198 Slant Six and am also collecting the bits to build a similar setup!

This is everything I wanted for my 200ci ‘73 Maverick coupe (my first car). I had done a lot of the suspension upgrades.

WOW!...AWESOME BRO!!! Thank you SO very much!!! And THANK YOU to Gus...THAT is one cool car! I think, it's the blow-thru design AND the unequal runner lengths that is causing fuel starvation. I think he needs a nice throttle body with an injector per runner, and that will save his intake (albeit drilling for those injectors). Good luck Gus...and thank you again bro, for bringing some awesome content.

Love it .... Just bought a 65 yesterday that I just happened to come across at a great price .. Has the 200 inline 6 in it and this gives me ideas ...

A lot of people forget that a well balanced combo can beat the big boys. The 6 doesn't make a lot of power compared to a V8 but it doesn't need the heavy drive train either, the car can be lighter and make the most of what it does have, smart choice to keep the 8 inch. Just a nice car overall and it's cool to be different.

I have a 68 mustang 200ci, my first car. Father, son Xmas project. 23+ yeas later I still have it. Vintage Inlines is making these aluminum heads plus they have lots of other goodies.. These are awesome engines. See the first Barra history....

I can confirm that vintage inlines does produce the head now but good luck getting one I waited close to a year and half for mine.

Very cool. I believe I met Gus at a FiTech tuning seminar, he didn't have his car with him but I remember thinking the sixie is damn cool!

Great car!! I hope he gets it sorted out soon. Awesome build

Love it. Something different and very cool.

Oh hell yeah like these little engines

Gus's car is awesome. I seen it at fabulous ford's a few years ago.

What he calls the "Shelby lowering mod" was not Shelby's design, it was a Ford engineer named Klaus Arning who came up with that which increases negative camber through turns. It drops the front end between 1/2"-3/4" best to use ball joint angled shims to keep the ball joints from loading and blowing out. Shelby used the Klaus Arning mod on the GT350's.

Heck yeah . I love the other guys stuff

Fantastic unique build👍

My girlfriend's dad has a virtually identical car. I've been pitching this same sort of setup. Simple suspension mods, add boost!

Congrats to Gus, that's a great car. When will we see part 2?

love the 200 inline six

I had a 6 cylinder 65 Mustang too with the 3 speed. I miss that car. The transmission was a weak link on the car. Glad someone figured out how to upgrade it to a better setup.

That is a super cool Mustang!

That's just freakin awesome to see..I bet that's alot of fun!

what a find, thanks for showing us , it's cool to be different

Getting 187 RWHP out of a NA-200 is pretty darn good. Would really live to see the Dyno results of the turbo once they get the fuel issue dialed in. Great video! Also, I bet that car handles quite well with the lightweight 200 and aluminum head!

My dad had a 65 Fairlane wagon with the 200 six. When he would try to pass on a 2 lane highway it was always pretty nerve wracking.

What a cool motor!

Sounds like your fuel problem is stemming from volume of fuel delivery, maybe run bigger supply and return lines from the fuel tank and pump? As long as the pump and pressure regulator and controls are good, that's what I would say from the armchair, as a possible direction to look at. Thanks for bringing such great content!!

Nice body style and upgrades ... to me better than a plain v8 .. hope it gets sorted out and he enjoys the boost rush and the amazing blow off sound 😍 watissssss

That was a cool build

The Dagenham transmission was a 4 speed from England and is fairly rare. The Ford 3 speed is just barely strong enough for the 6 cylinder and was not used behind the V8s.

You should do a turbo 240/300 Ford straight 6

Dang, I really wanted to know what it made with the turbo, hope you keep us updated.

I love the other guy's stuff!

Sometimes it’s not the most powerful engine but it’s how much fun you can throw at it 200 cubic inch inline six cylinder engines can be anything you want it to be

Nice build hope he can dial it in. Thank you. The 300 Ford six with the Yates style head in NHRA comp eliminator was my favorite build.

First thing I noticed was the aluminum head. New it would not be stock. As for the fuel issues, Eisinger had similar fuel distribution problems with their four cylinder engines. They cured it with a rather ingenious little deflector which was bolted inside the plenum in the bottom of the intake and trimmed to give the proper fuel/air distribution between cylinders. One of the Power nation shows did a video of the tuning process after building one of the Ford 2.3 liter engines. Perhaps someone there could give some insight into your problem.

Beautiful car clean simple

This is awesome.

I put a turbo on a stock head years ago and fuel distribution was definitely a problem on the front and rear cylinders. Some day I'll build one with a multi port setup.

Richard, 300 Ford Big 6, Big Bang with Propane!! Boom Shaka Lacka!

Amazing interview 🙏🇺🇦🙌🏾👍👏🏿🇺🇸🐐🌹❤️🇲🇽

I like this style video!

I think the fuel issue is linked to the "type" of fuel injection with that particular intake manifold. I believe I seen bosses cast into the manifold for individual "port" style injectors. My guess is it would run great with a MPI or SFI injection system.

I've been waiting for years on the that aluminum head, Vintage Inlines supposedly sent the casting forms from Classic Inlines to a new foundry but I've not heard anything since... Great to actually see one put to good use!!! BTW, I've not given up hope yet, maybe someday!

Awesome video. Thanks!

Love it!!

Very cool Mustang.

What a cool surprise! Interested to know more about the results if possible.

I think it’s both the TBI and Intake manifold, I feel like the air would take the path of least resistance and flow straight into the middle cylinders and cause all sorts of issues for the poor outer cylinders. A custom port injected manifold would make that motor happy

If possible I would try covering up the carb port and drill and tap for multiport fuel injectors. Try that, that way you can make the runners the same.

Need numbers and afr graph. Where was it leaning out?

As I recall, PowerNation had the same problem running TBI on a turbo Jeep 4.0. They had to switch to a Holley 4bbl to make it run right. There's something off on the fuel distribution on those long I6 manifolds. Port FI should work perfect.

That's pretty cool! 👍

65 fastback 200 with 8 cylinder axles, looks great

My buddy just had the same problem with his brand new Fitech on the dyno, they had to change all four injectors just to get it to run at all, then it still wouldn’t make more than 620 HP without running out of fuel, even though it was rated for more power.

I'm sure you changed to a 3/8 dia. fuel line. I really like stuff like this. Also, I didn't know you had a chassis dyno there. I don't really like those long and short intake runners, but it should run even if not optimum. And, I never knew about that head. I was surprised to see that on a 200. I'm gonna build a small Ford six at some point in time. This stuff is great. Thanks for the video.

Cant wait till you do the inline Ford 300 .

Keep it up I like the videos with all the different stuff. There is a video on here of a 4 cylinder Pontiac Tempest running elevens naturally aspirated

The pistons probably aren't from a 2.3 Lima, as the bores are wrong (89.3mm vs 93.5mm). I think he's probably talking about the 2.3 HSC. If I recall correctly, the HSC was itself derived from the 200 design with a revised cylinder head, and was used as a stop-gap for a while when lima production wasn't meeting demand. That's an awesome car though, glad you showed it to us!

I EFFING LOVE THIS CAR! This guy is the man, truely an other guy and theres bothing better. I am really curious how much power did it make even running lean and rough wish you would have included that.

Ford made a 250CI version of this motor for use in the Maverick. I put one into a '63 Falcon after having several modifications done to it. Head machined for 2 more 1BBL carbs(3 total), a Clifford Engineering cam and header. SBF valve springs and retainers. Over size valves, porting and polishing the intake and exhaust runners. I don't know what horsepower it made, but it gave a lot of grief to stock small block Fords and Chevys!

Cool car!! Hope he gets is sorted

Need to drill and tap those ports on the intake for fuel injectors. Ford I6 manifolds are very well known for a super lean 1&6, stoich 2&5, and a rich 3&4.

I LIKE IT!

This thing is pure awesome 😎

Cool Richard, the FI Tech engineer can figure it out.

As said,the head is a copy of the Australian 2V After that came first iron then later alloy cross flow heads. Mainly on our 250ci but the 200ci was an option.

Could the fuel problem be an electrical issue with the injectors not getting enough current to operate at the higher cycle rate? Either via ground or power side?

Cool car!

Very cool car. Not everything needs to be an 8.

I would love to see an episode from you with the Ford 250 i6. I have a 250 with a C4 in my 69 mustang and I would love to get a little more power out of it
