I have an 85hp straight 144 in a 61 falcon. What would be the cheapest route to 200-300 horses. Sell the old engine and get a 289 or what? I would like to keep a straight six but I need more umph.

Contact "Clifford Research", they will set you on the right track with your 6-in-a-row.

Get a yellow terra head off a 186" holden 6 and turn it back the front and then you will be a lot better off. I've been told by the old timers that this was the job to up the HP heaps.

It get rid of the shit ports that you can't do anything with.

Cheers
