    Ford I6 200 for sale

     



    EDIT: Motor is not a 289, but wrather a 200. Sorry for confusion.


    Bought a 1964 Falcon 2Dr post with the intention of Pro-streeting it. Obviously the motor that came with it is of no use to us anymore. The previous owner said it ran fine, no smoke, no problems, before the starter shat itself. Not sure of this, but block casting shows it is a 289 with a bore of 4.000", deck height of 8.206 and a 5bolt bellhousing. Located in Suffolk, Virginia (23435).

    Pickup is fine, delivery could be arranged I suppose, and shipping is fine as well. Buyer is to arrange shipping of item due to special size. Have no idea what it is worth, so ill say $200 +shipping if desired. I know rules say to provide shipping but freight companies around here don't seem to give quotes online.

    Casting info:

    just so you know that motor isn't a 289 its actually a 200.... not a bad engine but not worth $200 either...

    3.500" bore x 3.484" stroke. I believe the intake manifold is cast integrally with the head, so you have to be inventive to hot rod the motor. That's probably why it isn't much sought after. Anyone looking for a Ford six would probably use a 250 or 300.

    And if memory serves me right, the exhaust manifold is prone to cracks between #5 and #6.

    cracks between 3 and 4 actually, you can buy a special piece to install in the head to stop the problem and at the same time pickup about 5 hp, you can also buy an aftermarket intake, header and cam that together will make about 200 HP at 6000 rpms

    it's not that a 200 is a bad motor, there good motors, lots of people use them still in there Falcons/ Mustangs, but the pre '66 200's are pretty much worthless because a '66 ( maby '65 ) up 200 has 7 bolt mains, much stronger than the earlier 200's. a OZ 250 2V head bolts right up, has a bolt on intake manifold and flows much better than even the American 250 heads.

    Thank ya. I was not sure on motor so I went with what I got from the website. And I really was unsure of what it was worth, didn't want to say $100 if they go for $800, and didn't want to say $400 if they go for $50, get me?

    So, if no one objects, how does Best Offer sound

    65 had 7 mains too, 64 was the only 200 that used the 170s 4 main design but some 64 200s do have 7, not sure exactly when they switched over. i run a 68 200 block in my 64 falcon.
