Default falcon motors

You might have the smaller bell housing in there . The 144 and 170 motors were 4 main bearing with mechanical valve lifters . From 1965 onwards (XM models) they went over to 7 main bearing with hydraulic lifters I think. They also changed the bell housing for the 221 motors. A 250 would really make it hoot along !
