XE ESP would range from around $2k for a six needing a bit of work to $15k+ for a genuine 1-of-178-made 351 manual

cheers guys, yeah im thiniking the crossflow idea could be fun, i allready have a stroker v8 to have the most fun in, so a 6 couldnt hurt for a daily driver and be a bit better on the pocket for fuel.

so wats the deal with the crossflows power wise, im a apprentice mechanic and i work on many cross flows, just dont know about modyfying them.

guessing just start with either getting a good head from yella terra or someone, doing the cam, may as well rebuild it, dunno wat to do with EFI infact i just dont know where to start with a 250! ne one built ne tuff 250's?

cheers
