Lots Of Questions! Please Help!

DB67 · October 13th, 2006, 06:44 PM

I pulled my straight six out of my 67, but have been looking for some good deals and ideas on new intake, headers and exaust, and carb. for the carb im thinkin bout a triple 1bbl, headers i want dual, and no idea about intake. i am also looking at milling my head, is it worth it and how much is safe? at what power output will i have to change from a 4 lug to a 5 lug wheel? if that is nessasary, where to look for that.

Also, my engine is in good condition, 49,000 original miles. (i dont know if this info will help with ideas of what to do)

Thanks for the help!!

You can't get an intake for the 200 straight six because it is cast as part of the cylinder head. You could make a carb adapter for a Holley 500cfm two barrel and build a header for it. Milling the head will raise the compression a bit. You could have the machine shop install some larger valves right away and then you could do a mild port job on the head. I'm sure you could find a little bit bigger cam for it too. 200 horsepower should be attainable.
