While there hasn't been any new news lately, we thought we add an update since it's been so long since the last one. The inline sixes seem to be making a huge comeback, as more and more guys are keeping their sixes, rather than swapping them out for small block V8. Much of this has to do with the availability of performance products, which is considerably better than it was ten years ago. And hopefully in the years to come, Classic Inlines will introduce many more. Things like fuel injection, MLS head gaskets, kits for supercharging and turbocharging, and so on. Just in the past ten years we added over thirty new products, like our aluminum cylinder head, valve cover, cold air induction, ignition kits, stainless steel headers, and complete exhaust kits. And we did it while the economy was in a shambles. Imagine what we can do, if and when the economy picks up? I remember when Will and Kelly's 63 Falcon ran mid 12's in the quarter mile, and shocked everybody. However it wasn't long before Kelly was running in the mid 11's consistently, which we all thought was pretty incredible. Then she shocked us all once more when she broke into the tens. Simply amazing..... As of today her best ET is 10.68, which we all thought was impossible just a few years ago. I also remember when we all thought 200 HP, naturally aspirated, was pretty amazing. Today that's pretty common, thanks to the aluminum head, and 300 HP is just around the corner. As for maximum HP, who knows? However I don't think it will be long before someone builds a small six that's grinding out 650-700 HP, that's streetable. As for me, I've had a blast over the past ten years. I only hope the next ten will be as good. Thanks for all the support. 4-10-2012

69 Sports Roof Project Car - Oct 2007
August 2006 C.I. purchased a 69 Sports Roof with the intentions of doing restomod rebuild sometime in the near future. The Sports Roof originally came with an inline six, so we felt it was a perfect platform for a turbo-charged fuel injected rebuilt six. We contacted Mustang & Fords magazine and asked if they were interested in our project for a future tech article, and got their reply without any hesitation. They loved the idea of building one of the hottest inline sixes ever conceived. Our plans were to build a mustang which could be street driven, yet offer stiff competition to its V8 counterparts at the track. At the same time, the little six would offer superior handling due to the reduced nose weight, better gas mileage, and a boat load of bottom end torque. For detailed information on the entire build up, look for the three part article in the October, November, and December 07 issues of Mustangs & Fords magazine.

63 Falcon runs a 10.95 @ 124mph
Classic Inlines sponsors this street legal falcon which is powered by a turbo charged 250ci inline six. Other major modifications include the first proto type aluminum head, JE forged pistons, ARP studs & bolts, and a Clay Smith cam. The inline six is backed up with a performance C4 tranny, a 9" rear, and Alston Pro-Street ladder bars. Kelly, the owner and driver, has been racing the falcon since

Ford Six Performance Name Change
As you may have noticed, "Ford Six Performance Parts" recently changed its name to "Classic Inlines". This decision was made for two reasons. First, to deal with an issue raised this past summer by the Ford Motor Company. In which they demanded all companies using a "Ford" trade name, to cease doing so or face legal actions. However, our primary reason for the change, is the planned expansion of our product line to eventually include Chevrolet and Dodge products. Beginning with two new aluminum cylinder heads.

Classic Inlines Display Engine for SEMA
Classic Inlines was asked to display an engine featuring our newest products at the SEMA 2005 convention and trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The motor drew a lot of attention from convention attendees and the media. The induction system from TWM was custom built and completed just days before the show, as was the proto type of our Alloy Valve Cover. The oil pan arrived with only one day left to have chromed, however Metro Plating in Mesa AZ got the job done with two hours to spare.
