Gday Everyone
I'm new to the forum so wanted to introduce myself
Ive been following this forum for awhile and appreciate the knowledge that everyone has dropped with 250 Crossflows that ive read so far. The only problem is I am pretty tech illiterate so cant find the info ive been looking for.
I have a 85 XF Fairmont, Alloy head, Carby crossflow all std.
I am trying to preplan how I'm gonna get this to 300hp N.Aspirated with further potential for turbo.
I am planning on buying another 250 crossflow and stripping it down then rebuilding from the crank up. This way I can just keep mine running for now and build the next motor right until its ready.
Wondering is it better to start with crank regrind & 200 rod combo plus the correct pistons - I have read a lot of info on how to do this - but the info I have found is old so I don't know if 200 rods are available from anywhere else apart from ACL - Does anyone have a good set for sale?
Otherwise does anyone have a good combination that is interchangeable from other fords say EF Crank with AU longer rods & ? pistons as an example - tried & tested that will be a strong fit so I don't blow my motor to pieces in the long run e.g
I will make sure I sonic test the block for cracks to begin with and also more than likely cement aswell so I get this done right from the get go. Any other info would be highly appreciated such as any bearings and grinding work required and also info on doing it yourself.
Just thought I would start here & all help moving forward is greatly appreciated.
