Since the 258 is just a stretched 232, can't you plop a 242 head on that 232? I am talking of the late year 232 (bunch of them out there) and an early 242 head. That will give you the breathing advantages and the 232s drop right in. I put an 86 242 set up on my 82 258 with the Ford 300 ign upgrade. I pulled all of the computer crap and did away with the silly serpentine stuff using a 73 232. All bolted in, slight modo needed but nothing I couldn't handle with a vice, file and drill. Best of all is the combination of performance, gas miliage and ease of maintenance. Nothing beats a six with out extras for ease of maintenance......Russ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
