    I've been looking all across the internet but haven't found much info on the factory hp/torque @rpm specs of the 250ci I6 . Anyone know them off the top of there heads? :confused:

    Also wanted to know the curb weight of the 74' with a 250 I6

    Want my opinion? You been lookin' at them ricers to long. :tsk:

    You can't expect much out an Straight 6, it'll get ya from point A to point B until we get you a 302 in there. :cool:

    Now why I didn't just walk down the hall and tell you this, the world may never know. :smash:

    edit: you might want to update the Honda Spree there in your sig. It now goes 28 after my little carb adjustments! :bananaman

    I have a '71 Comet with a 250 I6, did a compression test to find 0 lb in #4 and 60 lb in #5 ,(I hope the block hadn't burnt a "notch" between the cylinders), I will pull the head next week and hope for the best. Anyway, I intend to do a valve job on it and plan to change the valves out to the larger valves of a later model engine. Can anyone ID the year Ford went to the larger valves and a possible source of the valves and seats?...Thanks to all...kafrompa (kagraveliii@yahoo.com)
