Read the Article Kenny posted about Hopping up the Ford 6.

They talk about stroking the 144 with the 170 internals..

And I know a 200I6 from Fairmonts bolt on. I was gonna do that to the wagon Nathan is getting, then I decided to keep the Fairmont I bought for a demo car/ motor donor, and drive it....

all 144/170/200/250 heads will inter change, but there is a difference in intake log volume and combustion chamber (c.c.) volume as well.
There is also a difference in the carb hole size and intake and exhaust valve size.
Cited From the Perfomance six handbook

you can over come the C.C. size by milling the head to regain compression and get the benifit of a larger intake log and bigger valves when using a later head.

I may be installing a 72 250 head on the wagon Dan is selling me, if that is what is needed..
