- After months of work I can finally bring to you a complete video of a large project that I have been working on. In this video you will see the process of taking apart this engine, to building it, and then getting it started back up again.
This engine is going in a 1970 Ford Maverick that I own that had an engine failure and was sitting for quite some time. I took it upon myself to take the engine out and rebuild it myself. While I have been working on cars for a while now this is the first complete engine build that I have done and I would like to say that it has been a success.
There are mistakes in this video that I had gone back in fixed so I apologize if anyone notices them but I hope you all engine this video of me rebuilding this Ford inline six engine :3
Great video like the old school, outdoors nice summer day I pulled a few engines on a maple tree branch. The only thing missing is classic rock in the background
Anything with a Maverick gets an instant thumbs 👍🏼
I enjoyed watching your rebuild. Very meticulous work! Maverick was my very first car back in 1969. The first ones were sold late 1969.
Great job bro !!!
We need more videos like yours. To preserve memories and encourage new generation to start working on cars 😃
I've always wanted to rebuild an I6. You did great for your first rebuild. I engined this video very much.
1970 maverick with a 200 was my very first car. Very nostalgic for me. Thank you.
Un joven muy experto, lo felicito, y hacia delante.
I have a '71 Maverick with a 200. Due to space limitations, I'll only be doing the valves, lifters, and timing chain/gears. Thanks for the detail video, it'll help me!
Es una chulada el mundo de la mecánica gracias por subir este video donde le das su mantenimiento a este motor 🧐
Buen video .. saludos desde argentina 🇦🇷
Great Video! Brings back memories. I did a complete rebuild on one these many years ago out of an Australian Ford Cortina, Cheers
Awesome video!! I’ve been wanting to rebuild the motor in my ford ranchero with a 250ci from a 76 Granada thanks!
That was a great video! Good details and looks awesome!
Good video. Gotta love a Ford inline 6.
Great video, but use graphics on screen to explain each action including sending to machine shop to polish cylinders, what are new parts and what are reused. Also explain things like pistons dropping out of sight
thank you for sharing my friend great job
Great rebuild. Keep going
Had one,23 mpg plenty of torque. Nice car.
Very good engine design. One thing that carburetor though!
Got a 70 Falcon wagon. Same engine. The most trouble free, dependable daily for the past 24 yrs. Granted there's no power brakes, no power steering. No AC. Just good clean fun. Give 350 dollars for it. Carry on.
Nice big extension
Good job rebuilding that motor I like that video I'll be watching more of your videos I just subscribed to it have a good day
GREAT JOB...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK...Doing a 66 Mustang with a 200 cu. in.

Pretty good editing too
El motor de mi falcon(ave), muy lindo, te felicito!!
Nice. Interesting to see the diff between that and my 300. like there is a timing chain also no rockers.
Had a 1972 Maverick. Was court ordered to sell it in my divorce. Had it before I met her. It loved me more than she did. I also had a great cat that was also named Maverick. She got him too. Miss that cat. Now I only see him when I pay alimony. But anyhoo always fun to build inline 6's.
What did you do when u cut the video in between trying to start the first time and starting the second
What tool and size did you use to take off the valve cover
very nice!
kinda got a blair witch vibe. cool
You never mentioned yet how much it cost to get your block back after honing, milling etc?
Also, you forgot to lube sides of thrust bearing and you dont rotate crank until its torgued as its out of round until torqued and will scuff bearings
After getting the block and head done it was around $1000 I think. The block was only 400 but the head was 600 because it was in rough shape and needed a lot of work.
Obviously it will vary depending on who you go to.
Getting the crank done was I think another $250.
Although I have never heard or seen anyone lube the sides of the thrust bearings and from what I have read you don't want to lube the thrust bearing side facing the piston rod.
Thanks for the video. Do u think rebuilding a motor like this is hard. I'm wondering of I can rebuild my own motor
It's not hard but just make sure you really pay attention to the details of every step. It wasn't shown in the video but there were times when I had to backtrack on my work because I would miss something small. And the little things can really mean a different between a running engine and a ruined engine.
Gracias desde vzla
after you drop the crank in, dont spin it. then, after the bearings are in the caps put lube on the bearing. torque it down. we try to keep the mating surfaces clean.
Great builds Mr lance very helpfull,continúe My bros a& i have mavericks,& broncos with online dices thanks continúe ,Say hello Jorge.
bravoo
We're did you buy all you parts
I get my rebuild kits from www.cleggengine.com/
I recommend
Nice video
Que pasa cuando la cadena del motor Ford 200 sefi está mala que fallas produce
Greetings, what torque do you use to tighten the crankshaft bearings, the connecting rods and the cylinder head?
can't remember off the top of my head but I think the final torque on the crank was 90lbs and then 75lbs on the head. For the connecting rods it was probably somewhere around 35
what was turn around time on getting block cleaned, magnafluxed, decked honed etc? COst?
cost of rebuild kit?
rebuild kit was around 500 but the cost of having everything done to the block and head was around 1000. It probably wouldn't be this expensive for most people though because this engine was old and needed a lot of work.

Doesnt sound that bad, considering this guy in canada wants about 4200 usd for similar mild refresh of a ford 390FE and other canadians want 700 usd for well used but running inline 6 300s.
hopefully my truck with 390FE lasts 50,000 miles more than the already 118,000 miles on it.
Nice build! Can this 250ci be matted to a ford T5? Thanks in advance
The 250 has a Windsor V8 bellhousing pattern so yes, t5 swap is easy.
Did you did something to thr pistons? Clean them or are they new ones? Also awesome video daamn clean work! Can you do more videos like this!!! Awesome!
Hi! How oil clearance ?
Where did you get the rebuild kit from

I’m looking at doing a 250 replacement for my 67 mustang. The 200 is a little weak
Cual es la diferencia entre los dos 200 y 250
@@manuelrojas4069 la mayor parte de la diferencia es interna. Diámetro más grande y carrera ligeramente más larga.
Una pregunta amigo, tengo un motor 250 std , y no tiene mucho desgaste lo quiero volver armar sin reftificar , y le compre todos los repuesto a medida estandar , los anillos se los compre a medida 0.20,
Que opinion me daria usted, cree que podra aver algun problemas
250 block is one inch taller. Timing cover and chain/sprockets, water pump and bellhousing bolt pattern are different. Everything else is interchangeable.
did u bore it over or just a hone
This was a few years ago and I no longer have the car but I think it was .30 over
Won't start, The End... Lol
❤
Cross flow head will bolt straight on..
Yes, but hard to to get one in the USA.
Una pregunta lo reftificaste
People always insist on turning the crankshaft before torquing down the main caps. Your bearings aren’t properly round until they are torqued. Spinning the crank like that can lead to a scuffed bearing or main journal on the crank.
Someone had did a headgasket at minimum on that because the factory headgasket is a metal shim style and half the thickness of the aftermarket ones
Not a 250..was on early smaller capacity engines..
@@neilasd3043 wrong. I pulled apart my original 250 and it had a metal shim gasket so you don't know what you are talking about.
Too many uneducated TH-cam mechanics. 250 cui don't have steel head gaskets from factory if yours did some clown stuffed up..
Alguien me puede decir otro vídeo parecido a este, que sea de motor Ford mavericks, mi carro es año 77
Buenas alguien me podría facilitar tabla o Manuel de torquimetro del motor
Расточка цилиндров, хонингование, шлифовка поверхности... нет, не слышал! Просто помою и покрашу и все будет хорошо!
MEAN!
Just a weeny bit of advice from someone thats been in the game for 50 years, you’ve got an impact gun use it.
On YOUR engine boy, on YOUR engine.
Torque specs as well
WHY WAS THERE 16 LIFTERS?
does melling make modular camshafts and lifter kits that fit v8s and inline 6s? lmao
Great motor but that log intake and carb are straight up junk. One of Fords poorest designs ever.
I agree, I think making the intake casted straight to the head is this motors biggest downfall and I switched to a Weber 32/36 carb because I have had nothing but problems with RBS carbs and I've tried 3 or 4 different ones on this engine and gave up because not a single one would run properly.
Its upsetting given how reliable this engine is.
You could mill the log surface
flat and make flange spacers and run six carbs. All direct shot to intake runners
@@jacquelinechellis4036 They are cast intakes. Very hard to mill and weld cast metal. Esp. old cast metal. Would be very very difficult unless you are highly skilled and owned a high dollar welder. Then its a crap shoot. To be honest swapping to a a 300 six or 302 v8 would be cheaper and easier.
There are extremely expensive and rare aluminium heads that were made for 250s by Vintage Inlines but finding one wont be easy or cheap. Australian Ford made cross flow heads as well but again hard to find one in US and will not be cheap. I dont think they are a direct bolt on as well to a US made 250 there is something you have do but i cant recall its been a while since i read about the swap. I was gonna build a 250 for a Maverick I had. After research I decided to go with a 302.and ditched the 250. Shame though the 250 is a great engine low end but that head and intake is just horrible.
Housing 250 is same 289?
The shock towers? Yes, I went from a 250 to a 302 in a 73 maverick and it fit right in.
However you have to buy a specific water pump, headers, and engine mounts to make it work. It is an incredibly tight squeeze.
