Hi to you all!
My name is Janne and I'm from Sweden, I'we been reading here for a long time but never wrighting anything, until now.
I have a - 61Falcon futura, with a - 65 200 block and a - 70 250 head, carb and Exhaust. It also got a Volvo 121 gearbox with the long gear shifter. Now, my engine need a rebuild and I stan with two choises, rebuild an other - 78 250 i have, with some suitable big bell 5speed gearbox ( I'm avare of the fitment issiue ) or rebuild the curent 200. Plans are : cut of log on - 78 head and triple Weber IDF carbs. Got to love the look and sound of webers. I do want a high reving screamer, so i Wonder were the safe rev limit on stock cranks for The 200 vs 250 are. Im thinking on the longera pinto rods, if they are needed. Will do a real rebuild, with bore and deck suitable pistons. Rear end Will be a 3,55 or 3:73 not sure yet, tyres ar for now 205/60-15. Any toughts would be Nice.
