Least it wasn't a fucking red shell

Interesting! I thought it looked too tall to be a 170, then if it had a 240 originally, a 170 wouldn't bolt to the transmission. I was also wondering who would waste money on headers for a 170, but they almost make sense on a 250. I'm not sure they do much with a stock head and cam--intake flow is the big problem with these engines, not exhaust.

The 240 is a better engine, but a 250 isn't bad at all. They make decent low-end torque and are lighter and more economical, and you don't want or need a ton of horsepower in an Econoline. A 250-2V Aussie head does bolt on with a couple of easy modifications though. Just sayin'.

I saw a Mercury version of one of these listed on Facebook marketplace (I know, but sometimes interesting poo poo pops up) and thought of this thread. Didn't even know they'd made them.

Edit: gallery here

I'd imagine it was a Canada-only deal so that Mercury dealers up there could have another truck option.
