Dumbing Down an Engine

cam and header...is all about the breathing on a Ford 6
....turbo would be fun tho

 

You mentioned water injection. How about water as fuel! A real hybrid. Gasoline and HHO.

It's on the schedule. I'm gonna check the yards for RK turbo suggestion, and pick Andy's brain about the cam and header too. What's gas out your way?

 

Regular is $3.54 to $3.66. Chevron's the highest. They think highly of their product.

Diesel is $3.99 to $4.21. And yes it's the Chevron brand that's the highest.

 

hows the cam help bigger cam better mileage? headers = better gas mi. too?

 

We're at $1.069 today per litre. 4 litres is almost a US gallon $4.28! But it bounces up and down across the country (up to $1.34 per Litre):

EAT MORE BEANS!!!!!

 

YES!!!! I'm gonna dig into that puppy. I wonder if a Fuel Injected Pinto engine would fit in the Fairmont, Rev?

 

I get enough here. Never need to buy Propane.

 

EAT MORE CHIKIN!!!!

 

Your wife's not Mexican, I can tell. If my wife could find a recipe for Chicken Jam, she'd feed me intravenously! She made herself a spaghetti sauce with chicken chunks and used some homemade Salsa for the sauce. She was complaining that it was really hot, got up and got another dish. Well sometime in the wee hours she got up and had the runs. We came back from another walk this morning (banking and groceries) and she got another bout of the runs.

I on the other hand, had a tasty Peanut Butter sandwich. She was miffed that I wasn't feeling any pain. Misery is not my company!

 

Too Funny!!!

 

You should scoot over to fordsix.com. Guys are getting all kinds of performance with the reliability of 7 mains on these sixes (140, 200, 250 CID) and better mileage. These small sixes are pretty awesome when they breathe better:

Most of the guys there come back with tales of blowing the doors off of everything but the Space Shuttle!

The stock 1 bbl carb is one key obstruction, and the manifold integrated into the head casting doesn't do as efficient a job as the six could use. Change either one without upgrading the cam, and you miss more engine efficiencies. I am not looking for super acceleration, I want consistent economy and hauling power, at the right RPMs. Not a traffic slug, but not useless with a load in or behind it (trailer).

 

i dont think that a 6 banger would be enuff for my heave ol wagonoso.
the 390 its rolling has had an upgraded cam and now a performer RPM and edelbrock 4 barrel carb. 2 barrel would be great but i dont really kick in the 4 barrels till im angry!!! jejeje

 

Getting angry is part of the Sarge Job, so get them to pay the extra gas!

There's some mean machines on that Fordsix site that could argue the point. But yours is almost a vintage machine, so you'd be best to leave it stock.
