Editing Building a Ford straight-six engine

==Details on building a Ford straight-six engine.==

For a performance build on the small Ford inline 6, it is a good idea to use a block that has 7 mains on the crank shaft. A 200 CID engine will have 5 frost plugs on the side of the block as shown in the photo.
