You're probably thinking of the conversion usually done to the 240/300 six. This is actually usually done (eventually I hope to convert my 300) so screw-in rocker studs can be used as opposed to the press-in style.
The 215/223/262 engines have shaft-mounted rocker arms & the above conversion is not possible. I belive there might be higher-lift rocker arms avalible for the 223, but I'm not totally sure. Rocker arms for the Y-block V8s might work, but I'm not sure so don't quote me on that! Keep in mind that having higher lift rocker arms is kinda "cheating" instead of installing a higher lift cam. There are other cams avalible for these engines.

rockers
ther are high ratio rockers available for the ford 223 inline 6. the only place i have found them is ebay and you kinda have to be patient. I believe that the ratio is 1.54 and the brand name is like barker or parker. hope this helps ya. if y need more info on this motor go to ford-six.com. heres the address for the vintage inline 6 forum. http://fordsix.com/forum/viewforum.p...892f31f62cdf27 I was a member to this forum when i had my 64 f100 with the 223 and these guys are full of knowledge. hope this helps ya hop that lil torque monster up and have fun with it. it's a awsome lil motor. i rerung the one i had and replaced a piston and head . then pulled a full size crown vic with it bout 100 miles on it after the rering job. pulled like ther was nothing back there.
