How hard is it to get an alloy crossflow head for those 250 engines? I'm trying to convince my friend to put one on his Maverick's engine instead of the lovely single barrel manifold head.

I think NinjaTech is talking about the US Ford Maverick. I don't think the Aussie 250/4.1lt alloy head will fit the US 250 block, as Ford Australia did some changes to the block when they moved to cross flow heads.

Yeah, It's a 1974 US Ford Maverick. Unfortunately he doesn't want a Barra in it.

I can't find any information saying what changes there were or that it won't work. The only info I'm seeing says that the 60's-80's Aussie heads fit but it's all pretty vague or lovely forum posts.

This site has a great write up on a cross flow 250 from an XF Falcon being put into a 65 Mustang - https://fordsix.com/archive/www.classicinlines.com/XFswap.html

Awesome! Thank you. I had come across classic inlines but never found that page. It's really hard to navigate it.
