I have a 1969 mustang with a 250 cid straight 6 engine in it. After going to a show this past weekend, i did not see any 250 engines at the entire thing. I was just wondering about how often that you would see a 1969 with a 250 cid. I did see a few 200 cid engines but like i said i didnt see any 250. Please let me know

Thanks

 

it is very rare to see any mustangs ith I6's at shows because most of the people who get I6 stangs swap them for v8s and yes 200's r more common then 250's cause they made them for longer

and if u wanna keep the 6 i recommend going to http://fordsix.com/forum/ for any and all advice and for performance parts i recommend www.classicinlines.com they have a great deal of performance parts for our i6's and they r even nearly finished developing an aluminum head for the I6

 

Mustang boy is correct
+1 I agree

 

Keep that 6! I honestly wish I had a plain-jane '66 hardtop with a 200 cid for daily driving. Easy on the gas (or at least a bit easier than a 289) and still every bit as much of a classic. They'll never bring as much money as their V8 counterparts, but that just keeps them affordable foor those of us that love them. And if you bother to show it, you're certain to be one of only a handful there.

 

and if u modify it with somthing like a supercharger or a turbo u will get way more looks at a car show than any v8 with similar mods

 

Thanks guys.. I was planning on keeping the 6 just bc i dont want to swap engines causing the differences in the VIN # and wat not. Also I like the fact that i will be able to drive it without cringing at the thought of gas money.

Thanks 4 the advice

My friend had a 69 Grande with a 250. But he totaled it.
69 was the first year for the 250.
250s were more commonly found in later Mavericks and Granadas and, unlike the 200, has the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the Windsors and 300 six.

 

make an offer and it's yours! just gotta pulle the bolts out of the head, rebuild the carb and replace the hoses.

 

Lots of good performance parts for the 250, and a much better engine to hot rod than the 200. Has a lot in common with the 240 and the 300, clifford has some stuff that can make well over 300 hp from one of those and they will live at that kind of hp.Check with some of the local dirt track guys , those engines were used extensively in limited late model clases, have seen quite a few with aluminum intakes and preditor carbs.
