It does have a 4bbl, Offy intake, header, higher ratio rockers, electronic ign, and the most important....a chrome air cleaner.
Maybe you should take it for a spin when I come over.

I remember reading an article many years back when someone took a 4.9L and got 300 horses out of it.
He took two Boss 302 heads, cut and furnace brazed them together to make a
6 banger head, along with other stuff done to the engine.

There's a company in Australia that's making an aluminum head for them. That's been ongoing for a couple years now. There's been Cleveland heads, and Chebby 350 heads used before, and anything helps when the stock ports are so small. I have a pic on my computer of a 300 with a Magna-charger making around 450hp.
Then there's my nephew's that has a cam, roller rockers, forged pistons, and a host of other goodies, probably makes 250-270hp

Okay....but!...I'd be more inclined to think about 150 at the engine and about 120 or so at the wheels...just my guess...I mean if you had some cam and head work, then I could see it gettnig up there..but stock (although I don't know the Ford 6's at all) I'm thinking CR would be in the 8 or so to 1 range, tough to pull 200HP with that compression and no cam/headwork.
Hey, but I'm a GM guy...then again, bring me that L-6 head and I'm sure I can find you a pony or two!
