    T5 to Toploader Bell

    If we're talking xflow then you're spot on. My ute was about 2600 (maybe a little higher) when it was 3sp with the 3.23 diff. Sits under 2000rpm now with the T5 (late model box so has a different 5th ratio to earlier T5s). @Panko and I have done comparisons before, his old 2.77 diff with early T5 and my 3.23 diff with late T5 resulted in almost identical rpm at 100km/h. 3sp manual Falcons only had 3.23 or 3.5 diff ratios from factory. I think all Ghias (sedan & wagons) got 2.77, at least in XF. Probably same for Fairlane/LTD. Maybe you could choose the ratio of you ordered one new depending on your driving style/choice? Hence the lack of consistency.

    Pushrods will be fine, if they're all straight. Roll them on a good flat surface (like the kitchen cupboard) wait til the Missus is out. ! Or stick one end in the cordless drill and spin them up slowly.

    No, not at all. CHI or AFD will work wonders, just wasn't sure of the budget. Looking at around 2 grand each, I reckon. The weight saving over the front wheels makes a difference too.! Change to alloy heads, alloy water pump, alloy intake manifold and radiator, would be close to 50 kilos.

    if the hole size is too big, it's for the points dizzy upto XD cast iron head(or XC) DG2 is what's needed for alloy head blocks to be honest, i've never heard of the DG2A gear, because almost no one plays with the iron head motor. its a similar story for the clevo, so you can't put a points dizzy in a later block.
