At long last!!!!

The rest of the parts finally showed up today...2 big boxes
Gotta love it..the box that had the head/rocker cover and a couple gaskets only weighed 60# :hick:

Here's a couple pics of the bulk of the parts

Covered in real Austrailian grime!!! It's amazing how light that head is.

Next is a better pic of the plenum and the fuel rail.

Check out the fittings on the fuel rail! No py quick disconnects!!

Once I get a free moment I'm going to get the head stripped down and get it cleaned up and see what I need to do about valve guides and seats, etc.

So finally after 6 months, the parts are here and once I get the 200 out of the Z-7 I can REALLY get into the conversion.

HOLY that is one hell of a setup. usualy the i6 intakes iv seen look like a ported brick with a air filter on top of it... that looks all kinds of efficiant.

You might be swaying me from my desire to use a 300.. :p

Eh, if I put the I6 plan in anything, it might be the Mark.. and I think I'd rather have the extra cubes. 250 at least.

thats about the same as the fuel injected intake for a 300. nice to see people that like the sixes. sounds like alot of work but it should be fun. are you going to turbo it or anything? a crossflow turbo 200 in a fox bird or cougar would be cool.

I really like this. I kinda thought about beefing up the 200 that was in my Fairmont before we scored a built up 351C/C4 combo for $100.

OK, this has been on hiatus for long enough. SEVERAL things have been in the way of any forward progress but with the moving of the '83 to another storage location, I have my garage for the winter to work on a couple projects (well actually 3, but only one applies to this forum).

I finally began stripping down my US 200 longblock to get to the point of being able to do the block and head mods I need to do to make this happen.

Just for the pic ws I sat the Aussie head on the block just for grins.

I'll get the last of the external stuff stripped, then organize things a bit and start getting the internal bits apart.

What bell housing will mate it to a T5? Is this the same setup that's on the Aussie DOHC 4.0L I6?
