Max Power Possible

Yes Im kind of a foregner when it comes to ford six cylinders so I was wondering what is the largest amount of HP and Torque possible with a 300 stragiht 6? You know like running a huge cam, huge intake, huge carb, huge exhaust what would you be able to get out of it?

I guess no one out of 200,000 ford truck owners knows how to get more power out of a inline six.

Read through this thread and postings. Hard to get more power without superhuman means, like turbo's etc. Head has been described as a "cork".

Not sure the bottom end would support the high rpms you would generate with "huge" components as described.

there are several guys over at fordsix.com that have gotten torque #'s in the 330ftlb @ the 2400 rpm range
and Hp #s in the 240hp @ the 4200RPM range

most of these monsters are running 1.70:1 chevy I6 rockers, 240 heads, forged cranks from medium-duty aplications, forged 351W pistons , cams in the 212° @ .050" range and single 4barrels

this sure is a nice looking 300.
