My dad has asked me to ask any of you who know about the big inline 6's that were in the Ford pickups. The 300 inline 6 I think is what he was interested in, specifically if anyone knows what the dimensions of the connecting rods were? length, width and diameter on the crank end? He heard a rumor that they might be able to be used to stroke a motor he is building for an antique tractor used for pulling competitions. Thanks ahead of time for any info you guys might be able to supply.
I don't know Fords, but I'll bet THESE FOLKS do.
Don't know about tractor motors, but we used the crank from the 300 in a 240 block and ended up with a 310 or 315 or somewhere around there that would pull the teeth out of your head. IIRC, the stroke was something like 3.98 and the 240 had a 4" bore. The only special parts were the pistons, the intake and headers. It's a little fuzzy, because that was around '74(WOW, 35 years ago?) Boy, that car made me a LOT of money on the street. Ford used to put out a performance parts book that had all dimensions and interchange info in it, that was available over the parts counter.
