Missy, The 255 was a short run for fuel mileage engine put into the mustangs and others around 79-82. You'd be better off with a 302/351 engine instead. There are more aftermarket items for the 302/351 and not much for the 255. Post your question to the 302/351 Forum and they should be able to help you out.

This is for a friend of mine's racer. The class only allows up to a 260ci engine. He plans to rebuild it and strength it for the known faults. A 260 ci engine would be nice but it can't have any overbore.

Thanks for your comment though.
