Squirting a 1965 200CID I6 mustang

[mitsuko]

Friend of mine bought a 1965 mustang cabrio to rebuild .
It's an inline six , 200Cid engine with a 3 speed manual
transmission .

Funny thing is , the cilinder head and the intake manifold
is one cast part . The IM isn't bolted on .

So the only way I can think of to go to port injection is to
remove the cast intake manifold .
That would take sawing / grinding / milling /machining the
head somehow . Hoping there's enough material to abtain a flat surface
wich can be bored and tapped .
And then design a stainless or aluminium IM with injector pockets etc .

Anyone aver done this ? I'de hate to ruin the head , there aren't to many
mustang parts available round here
I'll try to shoot a few pictures this evening .

saw it off and machine it down , till u get normal shape head (like the new engines have) , make custom (or find some from scrappy) intake , drill holes for bolts and off u go. probably would be easier to fit another engine.

Cutting the manifold off is definitely possible; I've read a few articles alluding to this mod being done on a Ford straight six.

Another possibility is to import an Australian head with a detachable manifold. You can install one without precision machining, but it takes some work.
