The Ford XF had its engine removed because it was a) not running right and b) I wanted a V8... this is the 'not running right' engine that came out. After stripping it down you can see what the big issue is... and the effects of neglect. leave your comments and ideas about what we should do with the engine on the FB page linked below.

Really great to ya video and glad to see you are getting the kids off the computers; well done

@alexdurward3272 Месяц назад

I know this is a really old video but this is exactly what i needed to see. In depth videoof a 250 crossflow as im looking to do an engine swap into my tf cortina. Most likely its going to need a full rebuild.

@NathanNostaw 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. Not sure my ears will ever recover from the music though. Down side to using headphones with YT.

I had an '82 XD with the first of the alloy heads about 15 years ago. It had the single throat stromberg and a tiny exhaust off the factory manifold. It was gutless. Not knowing much about cars I got myself a Gregory's wshop manual. Going strickedly off the book alone and zero experience I pulled the head off. The back of the valves were reeeeeally choked up with carbon deposits. I just chiselled it off cleaned em up and reseated the valves with some lapping paste. I "match ported" the intake (removed the lip where the manifold mates to the head) and cleaned up the factory dags further in the ports with a drill and some $2 grinding lollipops from Silly Sollys. Put it all back together, adjusted the tappets by ear, bolted on a Webber carb and manifold from an XE/XF and had a 2-1/4" exhaust made to fit the factory exhaust manifold (couldn't afford extractors). I tell ya from then on that motor was a BEAST! And that engine later went into a speedway car. They are just such a forgiving engine and have so much potential and are in my experience super easy and very forgiving to work on.

Man thats good news lol, Im looking to put the engine in the video in something else, I'm out of room in the current shed to do much at the moment, but am keen to rebuild it, but untill i know what its going into its a little hard to know what im going to do with it.

@2litrepeter. 7 лет назад

Glad I found your video. Just embarking on a 4.1 rebuild myself. 😎

@TimsGarage 7 лет назад

Hi mate, its a fairly simple process, rebuilding is always the harder bit :D all the best with your build.

@kierancarter3693 3 года назад

Your a legend, so well explained and such a great teacher to your kids

@nb9008 2 года назад

Had an 83 XE Falcon...most common engine issue is number 6 cylinder head would corrode and eventually leak coolant in the 6th cylinder.

@cjaysoulgroove4065 3 года назад

Wow great stuff mate can't wait for part 2

@craigedwardjensen6382 4 года назад

I have this engine in my 81 f100 ex main roads had all the emmisions equipment striped off in the 80s

@elwoodroadsmusic9639 3 года назад

Love the 250 such a solid engine. Big horsepower to be found with minimal outlay if you're so inclined.

@2litrepeter. 7 лет назад

This latest build will be the first time I tackle the bottom end and essentially a full rebuild. This ones an iron head '79 and has been sitting for 10years. Should be fun. I'll be watching your build with great interest. Hope you can give me an idea of where to source parts and approx $$ as you go. Very keen to see how you go with forced induction. 😎

@TimsGarage 7 лет назад

Thanks mate, always happy to include stuff that people want to see, ill make sure I include where I get the parts and some costings as we go. thanks for the feedback mate.

@Drewza71 3 года назад

yer please more content with the Xflow!!!! build it up n put it back in the XF !! ITS WHERE IT BELONGS!!!!!

@jamie19881000 4 года назад

Definitely need to put a turbo on it 👍

@greyhairedphantom4038 6 лет назад

The biggest killer of the old 4.1 is that bloody autogas, and modern oils...and neglect, seems the older they get, the further apart the oil changes get...i run 20w 50 in my old gals...GTX If i can get it. I had a bloke say to me that they crack heads, i said to him thats the owner mate...always make sure your cooling system is in good order and run coolant np

@Rush-gz9sx 4 года назад

Hi Tim. Ive got 3 of these heads over here in England. 2 iron one Aluminum. They came over with a pair of Barras we bought. Do these crossflow heada boly on to a 200/250 or 300 north American 6er? Thanks ... good to see kids in the garage

@American-Jesus 2 года назад

Do you still have a crossflow 250/300 head available?

@Rush-gz9sx 2 года назад

@@American-Jesus yeah still got them but you'll need to make sure they fit your block.

@American-Jesus 2 года назад

@@Rush-gz9sx what engine are they for? The 240 or 250?

@Rush-gz9sx 2 года назад

@@American-Jesus were not sure. All we know is they won't fit the North American 200 straight 6 cylinder block. If you tell me your email I'll send a couple of pics to you within the next few days

I just bought an xf engine with a big end knock with the plan of putting a 4l Ef crank and rods in it for my Xc wagon. What have I got myself into?....

@jodiejordanjago7128 4 года назад

Love the video tim just wondering how do know its not a 3.3 ?

@damonjenkins2185 4 года назад

Engine code of car it came from. If you don’t have that you can either check stroke and bore. Stroke which will be slightly longer, or bore which will be slightly smaller if it’s actually a 200

@jeffsnyder2051 3 года назад

Will that head fit an american 250?

@darronmecak5720 5 лет назад

so where is the rebuild ? come on show us the crossy

@Rush-gz9sx 4 года назад

Do these jeads fit on the north american Ford 200 they put in Mustangs and Falcons etc?

@shreddmachine 4 года назад

Yes but some work required on the block as the non crossflow block is not as wide as the crossflow

@jasonstray9582 7 лет назад

lumpy cam and triple carbs is what id like to see

@TimsGarage 7 лет назад

That would be brilliant! if I can afford the carbs ill do that for sure.

@jasonstray9582 7 лет назад

have you decided yet what your putting it in?

@awesomusmaximus3766 5 лет назад

I have triple webers on mine also destroked it to 221 CID

@thommytheboy8420 7 лет назад

Cool video dude, I just stumbled across your channel by accident but I will start watching a few more of your videos, good to see the kids have a go too, some of the best times of my life have been in the shed working on cars with my old man. Xflows are reasonably popular now days and it's not too hard or expensive to 220hp out of one naturally aspirated there's a forum called www.ozfalcon.com.au with heaps of tech info about building xflows and alot of the guys are willing to share any info you need from just rebuilding a stocker to one member who has a natural asp xflow running 11.50s down the 1/4 mile in an xf ute

@TimsGarage 7 лет назад

Thanks mate, I appreciate it, ill have a look at that page thanks, Im looking to get something else to put the crossflow into as a project, but would love to get some power out of it NA the XF has another engine going into it, but the 250 is such an easy engine to work on without all the electrics! Later this year ill send it off to get looked at for the rebuild, once i do some reserch around what I want to do with it. Thanks again for the info, appreciate it.

@thommytheboy8420 7 лет назад
