Damn you and Frank for spoiling my idea.

Well it wouldn't increase total flow up that line, just change the split 
from 50/50 to 100/0.

It is easier to do nothing, though.

Are they different under the valve cover than the 232/258? Better oil 
return and flash cleanup never hurts anything!

Yeah, sounds fun, and Im inspired now and with Joe's motor to build 
mine. I'm over the utter lack of performance growth room already. Unless 
I run into some huge snag with this motor

* 195.6 fits in the hole! No problemo! Cheaper by far!
* 232 would be great, but doesnt fit, much ugly hacking required
* 2.5L is probably the way to go for project cars
* Ford 200 is fine, but as much work as the 2.5L, so why bother?
