From my experience putting a 4 litre in an x series, id say anything from EF onwards. A lot of others will say "use the EL 4 litre" as it has a dizzy over a coil pack and is easier to set up? Tho I do like what Ants has said "Go an AU donk" A friend of mine has an AU falcon, nothing special, never looks after it, just drives it and that's it. It has just over 200K on the engine and the bloody thing is a rocket! I drove it to Sydney recently and I was shocked at how hard this thing went. I didn't cane it or go stupid but popped it back to 3rd to over take a couple of cars on the freeway and then back to drive again and the power it had was impressive. Moral: AU falcon 4 litre. Oh and just buy a complete car for the conversion, cheap as chips!

That's just screaming for an LS1 eh ants.

Id have to say "its a pic from when it was nearly finished" ants, looks great. Guy goes to all that trouble and money to build it and look at it secured on his car trailer, would jump off there so fast

So your saying those 4 different places couldn't do a correct wheel alignment on your falcon and is still wearing out your front tyres? That's an awesome claim, 1 place I could understand but 4? Man there sounds like some dodgy mechanics down your way. Did you ever go back and complain? I had a dodgy wheel alignment done years ago and I took it back and they did it again for free and apoligised (I don't think it was done the first time tho) This is your safety and others safety your messin with by trying to fix it yourself. I hear your frustration if your claims are true but for the sum of $45 to $65 for a proper wheel alignment I think is cheap insurance, don't you?

Hey Aussie, tell us more about the Anglia, got a link to a build thread? I checked your website but couldn't find anything.

Here you go. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Electric-Fuel-Pump-12-volt-Solid-State-4-to-6psi-130-LPH-Petrol-Universal-New-/130721428894?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e6f9ab59e

Im gonna say the obvious and don't display it. Grab another from a wrecker and use it. Use this special one on display days or club runs etc.

Yeah 'speed clips' pete Repco, auto 1, super cheap as slo247 has said available in those champion packs.

Whats wrong with leaving a stuffed clutch fan on it? The clutch fan on Nana has been dead for months and it still keeps her cool doesn't make any horrid noises and does the job If you have that spare, jam that on it, should be a ten minute job. The thermo's would be good but if wiring is not your strong point or it means spending $100 on the conversion then jam that spare clutch fan on it.

Are they "polished or un-polished" centrelines? Will help what you clean them up with. Mothers do an alloy wheel cleaner/polish that's good stuff but make life easy and buy a Mothers polish ball to assist bringing them back to life. plenty of you tube clips on this subject, id suggest checking them out

I put one on ebay last week and it didn't sell. $50 included postage here is the old ad. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200911063604?ssPageName=STRK:MEUSX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1562.l2649
