  1. Took longer to get things moving than planned. Things done: - removed the 200 I6 with 2-speed automatic - removed the power steering system (30 pounds) - found 4-speed column to replace column shifter - upgrading wiring for alternator, had generator - upgrading and moving horns to radiator support for more clearance - getting ready to install 250 and C-4 Looking for OZ250-2V cast iron heads and intake.
  2. Will be F6 310 with automatic. The fairlane currently has 200 6 inline with 2 speed automatic and trying to keep the same configuration. Purchased 250 inline six with C4 automatic to upgrade the existing factory engine/trans package. This started the search for 250 parts and upgrades, that led to finding that Ford of Australia had continued development of this engine. Found that iron and aluminum cross-flow cylinder heads where available. Would like to have more power from engine and have been reading several of the posts about upgrades. Seems like you can do reflash, engine internals, turbo, etc to gain more power. Thinking should use vendors who have already have experience with these upgrades from Australia, do not want to reinvent the wheel again. Lots of questions still need to be answered. See mention of 3 salvage yards for FPV parts, one being Ferntree Gully Auto Salvage. Who are the other two? Can this engine run on E85 as our fuel is limited to 91 octane?
  3. First post on forum. Looking to update my 200 Inline 6 in Los Angeles to the F6 310 with automatic. Have been reading several posts about the power upgrade potential of this engine, quite impressive. Lived in Australia as DOD dependent at RAAF Williamtown and went to school at Stockton Elementary and Raymond Terrace High School. Good memories and especially remember the great fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.
