I once saw a 66 Mustang with a Nissan Skyline inline 6 in it. Man, that thing was a screamer.

I've been made fun of for 2 years by all my rich Chevy-loving friends with their $13,000-$20000 Camaro's that run over 350hp but they're all too afraid to run them. Well I'd love to show these guys up, even if it is just technically (seeing as how they're too ***** to actually push the pedal all the way down in their 5-speed autos, oh yeah, that are pre-modded by previous owners, so they don't have to get their hands dirty). I've always wanted a 390 (my favorite block), but that means my newly-installed new suspension, and all the under-the-hood parts would need to be replaced with heavier duty parts and that's kind of impractical price wise. So that was out. Then I wanted a 289, I mean hey, it's compatible with all the straight-6 stuff, but still costs quite a bit to get a running block in there, and my '67 is TOTALLY original (to the VIN number) so we didn't wanna mess that up. Now a turbo seems like the best possible power booster, it's unique, powerful, lightweight, keeps it stock without trading out parts, and all the "haha you got a 6 in your FORD" guys can see what a 6 can really do. Plus I HATE the fact that I have no power at any rpm, any gear, any speed.

So my question is, if anyone can help me find a turbo kit for my 200ci, original '67 straight-6, please let me know. Thank you very much
I have a complete 5 main 200 ci, 6cyl ford build especially for the Air reserch TO6 tubo. it's a running motor with about 30k mi on it. Nitrite crank, forged pistons, 6.5:1 compressioon ratio, hard rod bolts, isky keepers and valve springs, etc. has run 21 psi boost on pump gas

Yeah and that motor cost him at least a few thousand. I6 parts aren't cheap at all, thats why I went V8 after I maxed out my I6.

I would never recommend a 200-250 six banger for performance..The bang for the buck just isn't there...The 300 can be made to have some decent power but again its not cheap..
