4.9 inline 6 swap Reply #1 – August 02, 2009, 04:28:21 AM Nope. Your the first.It's actually been talked bout it quite a bit, with the general consensus that you need a different k member, and unless you plan on going with forced induction, it's not really worth the trouble. Quote Selected

4.9 inline 6 swap Reply #4 – August 02, 2009, 09:27:11 AM I hear the 300 six is much to large, more than likely I heard that from Chuck W :D Quote Selected

4.9 inline 6 swap Reply #7 – August 02, 2009, 10:33:59 AM Hang the 300 on an engine stand, and you quickly realize how heavy it is. Overall size is comparable to a bigger V8. I swapped one into my Bronco, and it filled every bit of the engine bay like the 400 did. The fan located about the same spot, maybe a little closer. IIRC, 35.63" overall. I'm still waiting for Chuck to do the Aussie swap. :D Quote Selected
4.9 inline 6 swap Reply #8 – August 02, 2009, 11:06:35 AM The Ausie swap would be cool. I've always thought it might be cool to do a 2.9 Volvo I6 Twin Turbo swap. The engine was developed in conjunction with Ford, so it's not too sacrilegious, and it should make for a nice, powerful, modern engine.Shiny Side Up!Bill Quote Selected
4.9 inline 6 swap Reply #9 – August 02, 2009, 12:21:23 PM I only posted the links to show that it wasn't just a drop in, wire it up and drive it kinda swap. Sorry to step on any toes. Quote Selected
4.9 inline 6 swap Reply #10 – August 02, 2009, 02:43:32 PM does anyone know if they make high performance parts for the 4.9? im just thinking if a inline 6 3.0 liter supra motor could make 1300hp, i was just wondering how much horsepower could a 4.9 would make after being stroker and bored with twin turbos. it would be totally original and different Quote Selected
4.9 inline 6 swap Reply #11 – August 02, 2009, 03:17:29 PM The 300 I6 head sucks totally... It's fine for what it was designed and that was lugging around at less than 4000 rpms... Possibly they could be ported with reasonable results, but you'd have to do the research on that... Clifford Research has produced 4bbl intakes for them...Some hard core racers have used sectioned 351 Cleavland heads, but you'd never stop one from leaking coolant... AFIK they ran them dry...

4.9 inline 6 swap Reply #13 – August 02, 2009, 03:58:45 PM Do a search on the frenchtown flyer. Greg has drag raced these engines for years. I have recipes to make them perform well, but for my purposes, I kept mine relatively stock......for now. Quote Selected
