Hello I just found this post and signed up. I have a Genuine 3.2 tonner MK2 van with its original owner book and an original factory service and repair book my Transit came out with a 250ci cross-flow but they also came in the 200ci cross-flow mine also had a 3 speed floor shift manual box it made my transit scream for more gears at 80klms I now have a 5 speed ford toploader out of an XF falcon so now I have a van that can do 120klms without to much effort but usualy I drive at 80 - 90klms.

A 351 is actually 352 cubes standard

The Offy port-o-sonic was different from the dual port, but looks the same from the outside. The port-o-sonic was a single plane, low profile design that relied on plenum volume, not runner length from carby, to distribute fuel evenly. It looks wrong but some reported good results. A dual plane Eddy performer would still out-do it. The Offy dual-port was a very interesting concept that didn't quite work. It was an attempt to create a dual mode high velocity/high flow design (in the smog era) by separating the primaries from the secondaries via a double-decker single plane design. It had the lower (primary) half of the manifold connected to the bottom portion of each split port, which was about half as big as the top portion. Low rpm, high velocity ports were supposed to allow better atomisation, then when the secondaries opened up, full flow from the top of each port would allow decent performance. Another aspect; the bottom half would be hotter from the oil vapour coming up from the engine, also promoting atomisation, and the top half would be insulated by the bottom. Unfortunately, it didn't catch on. The split in the ports was too restrictive for performance, ok they could be cut back and smoothed but even then it was only reasonable. Also in some designs (like the clevo), the front 4 cylinders starved due to the tight passages on the secondary side trying to get past the primary bores. Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk

Prob be cooked on by now. Nice and brittle. Maybe a hair dryer or very low, heat from a heat gun..??

Apparently Graffix Unlimited can make almost any sticker with a good sample. Never used them, but others on here have.

on the X series the shock/damper is not a stress member so if it fails it's OK, you will know but it won't do anything bad on the E series the shock/damper IS A STRESS MEMBER and if they fail depending on your speed you're fucked but I like the process of natural selection

That balancer is fooked..... Have a look at Pertronix (USA) they did electronical doodads for converting points. Good reviews, too.

I have been busy all morning cleaning parts for a look at numbers , the timing cover is pitted slightly but not the worse one i have ever seen also can this nice factory dizzy be converted to electronic and run my msd 6al thru it ? Or just a buy a msd dizzy,also what dizzy gear would i need to fix this autolite with a crow hyd cam ? Sent from my SM-G570Y using Tapatalk

And there was a 352 in the FE series, same bore/stroke as the clevo/Windsor The 5.0 is actually 4949cc, so it misses out by 1cc when you round it off, hence 4.9 is more accurate. If you talk about a 4.9 Ford in the states, they think you mean the 300 six. Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk

interesting note a 400 is actually a 402.

what is next week lotto numbers dean

the V4 ones are crap... the 250 log or crossflows had a 3 speed floor shift or C4 auto. th later ones could have disc brakes, diff ratio is stupid low, 4.6:1 ratio can be changed the diff is wide, wider than an AU diff, the AU diff with deep dish wheels is a cheap conversion.. CRS does/did a falcon disc, HQ caliper conversion .. finding one that's rust free will be near impossible, finding parts will be hard.. if this guy is still in business, he was pretty much the only guy who wrecked them (Joe) https://www.wordofmouth.com.au/reviews/jb-auto-ford-transit-and-bedford-cf-parts-and-service-dandenong what other questions do you have? My Dad had a flat nose Mk1 1970(originally ex Aus Post V4) he ended up with Leyland V8 in it with a C4 auto and ex USA LTD 9" diff I had a 1980 Mk2 with 250 crossflow, ended up with T5 and widened XF diff (used 2 long axels) i never finished mine, had to move and get rid of all my crap
