    Man, that is one sweet wagon ! Love the 300 six. I have fond memories of my '84 F-150 with the six and a 4 speed overdrive !

    Former Wichitan here with an appreciation for straight sixes, especially Fords. The 300 in a Fsirmont is impressive. My folks had an 80 wagon with the 200. That was a bullet proof motor in its own right. Keep up the great works.

    Love the car, i have long suspected there is far more in those engines than has been tapped, watching the Ambrose & Argenta comp altered driven by Steve Ambrose ,with that cross flow AJPE head and who knows how many tricks run deep in the sevens!. Mr .Lopez i am blown away to see how quick youe car is with a factory head,and and a drag n driver , totally BADASS! BE SAFE!

    This is such a cool engine configuration. I'm working a deal on one right now so that I can get the horrible 4.2 out of my F150 and I'll be doing a full build on the engine to try to get about 500hp with port injection. I figure that if I can get enough out of it I can make my f150 go from a boring ride to a fun drift build with a 5 speed and hand brake.

    300 is definitely a big block, I'm going 4.200 with sleeves and a 4.400 stroke
    Give a V8 4.2x4.4 and you get 487 cubic inches which is definitely big block territory hahaha
    I'm going with a sequential turbo setup but more so for my f350 instead

    • @PiDsPagePrototypes

      "Big Block" doesn't refer to piston size or displacement. A Big Block has a longer spacing between the bore centers then a Small Block, so the cylinders are further apart from each other. It's this that enables a Big Block to have large diameter bores for short stokes while retain large displacement numbers. That's what makes it possible to spin them to high RPM. Some folks used to say 'above 4" spacing is Big Block, below 4" center to center, is Small Block'.
      IIRC, the 300 has a larger bore spacing then the family that had the 250 Crossflow, 3.9, 4.0 and Barra, so probably does count as a Big Block Six Cylinder.

      Not going to enter the big block v. small block conversation. I love the ford 300, and still have one in a 66 f-100. I did not realize the 300 would fit in a passenger car, as they are significantly larger than the smaller ford inline 6 motors.
