Then it will be locally cast. Anything cast after 74 will be from here. Should be a solid lump with minimal core shift Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk -

I also read that early Aussie blocks used US molds. So the Cf may still be there despite being cast here. Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk -

That F is probably from an engine reco mob. That's the square pad that makes it a "square" block, vs a "D". Likely a GF block, if you look next to the oil sender port you will see the foundry mark. Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk -
1 pointDoes it have understeer or over steer.? (Front end wants to go straight ahead, or rear wheels want to overtake the fronts?) Too stiff rear bar can cause more understeer, in certain circumstances.

1 pointdo you think you need one? i don't i took one from an XD Ghia sedan, and fitted it to My XD S pack wagon and it was BAD.. made the rear very twitchy, (ideal if you like to drift roundabouts etc) i reckon there's a reason they are NOT fitted. (haven't seen any notes on why not, but from trying it, i wouldn't do it)
