The 170 inline six uses the same pistons as the 221 and they do make forged pistons for those engines. They are expensive, $650 for six of them, would be two pistons short,lol. This is what I would like to do if I can. I would use a 302 crank and rods and stroke the engine to 3.0 stroke if the pistons don't smack the counter weights. Bore the block out .030, balance it to 28 ounce, use a 157 tooth flywheel and 302 harmonic balancer. I have a roller cam from a 2000 5.0 Explorer, would use link bar lifters. I would add 289 valves to the heads if they fit the chambers. I have a 84 Factory Ford Mustang 5.0 aluminum intake manifold that I would use on this small engine . I don't want a race horse, just wanting to hop up the little 221 a bit and keep the original engine in the car. I also would swap out the three speed on the tree for a BW T10 four speed on the floor.
