Well done sly. Yeah wasn't sure about the engine combo bam. Sly has answered well mate

Hey bam, I would think "it cant be done"? Assuming its on a 4.1 crossy, as you know the water pump pulley is in there and if you run a short belt the pulley is gonna fowl on the top of the belt. Is it a standard 4.1 with air and steer your chasing a belt for?

Yeah thought i remember you telling me back then "they are rares", ive had these for years now Cav. Mate, it fit great, was installed in only 5 mins.

I bought these for my project Goldie and i fitted one on the weekend just gone. Fitted on the front heaps easy and looks great, i haven't tried the back yet just waiting for abit warmer weather so it becomes easier to work with. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-for-FALCON-XD-XE-XF-DOOR-SEAL-RUBBER-NEW-/400726322921?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d4d266ee9&_uhb=1

Mounting clips. You can get these at REPCO, super cheap, Auto 1 etc etc made by Narva. Pipe/cable support clamps part number 56480 Use your steel tube for the fuel feed and buy EFI hose for the return line. Mount them with the above clips. they look like http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NARVA-PIPE-CABLE-SUPPORT-CLAMPS-10mm-STEEL-P-CLAMP-UV-RUBBER-COVER-56480-x10-/291220428772?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43ce1717e4&_uhb=1

Yeah id tend to agree here, looking at the passenger side head light it appears not to sit with the grill properly? Perhaps the bonnet is out of whack and not sitting correctly either? If it was mine, id find genuine XF Head lights (gonna be hard but do-able and expensive) and if the reflectors are crap id swap the guts over from the after market into the original ford units and presto. You mite remember, that what i did with mine, still haven't fitted them yet but they do look the goods.

Yeah just use the 044 in the fuel line. I had a EFI specialist build the fuel system for goldie. The business owner had an old EK Holden ute with late model V6 running gear and he just used the 044 on his to run it so he did the same with mine. Seems to work ok. I reckon the wagon fuel tank would be a pretty basic set up, im not sure why i didn't opt for it but i did think about it.

I have never heard of the pre crossy's being referd to as a 'log motor'. You maybe thinking of a 'long motor'? Thats the engine with the cylinder heard and maybe some acc's The 'short motor' being the engine with out the cylinder head. The log manifold would be the EFI manifold you find on XG/EB/ED Falcon, thats what i know as 'the log manifold' The EF/EL/AU etc have the BBM or broad band manifold as their EFI. Hope this helps.

Ok, turns out mine are the same. Mine get fitted in about 3 weeks time along with a bunch of other stuff. Did you re-use your old U bolts or buy new ones? Im gonna buy new ones, prolly these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/47806-Nolathane-Bush-Kit-Ford-Falcon-XD-ZJ-LTD-FC-79-82-Spring-u-bolts-R-/231115336136?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35cf8c29c8&_uhb=1 Just curious will they be long enough? Im sure they will be but just double checking.

I think Colin had a custom header made for that side of the starter for his when he had his conversion done, he said (and i could be wrong) it was the only way around it?

I hope you remember 'your title' of this subject? You asked for feedback and when you got it, you dont like what is said Thats what i read into it....... I wont harp on about reality, sounds like you wouldn't listen anyway

Where you gona use that sort of HP? Even if you get 400HP Thats nothing to sneeze at. You only using this on the street (means trouble) or the track? The street means a quick 5 second blast down the highway till you have to back off, all that coin you spend building this motor, 5k+ for a 5 second thrill you may as well buy a XR6 with a turbo already fitted for this sort of stuff you could buy a good one for under 10k and have a sexy lookin car. Turbo engines are so over rated.

Im gonna say "No" But.... If you disconnect the wiring plug and swap out the entire lock off the column then you will need to re-coed the new ignition.

Local bloke here has one of these on his XE, I think its good for 7psi? He built all the brackets and what not himself.

Here's an idea i thought about trying when i was building Goldie's fuel system. Originally i was gonna get some of the boot floor cut out and replace it with a fuel tank from a EF/EL station wagon, that way i kept the spare wheel well and got to run the EFI pump. I never ended up going that way i just now use a Bosch 044 external pump but food for thought.

narh, the earth strap bolt wont need silastic. If it already has it id say "the thread is damaged and somebody has used silastic on it to assist in it tightening it up", done that one myself in the past. See how it goes.

And dont for get head bolt number 14, being on the outside of the cylinder head, where the earth strap connects to, ive seen people forget it and try and lever the head off to no avail, then realize and go 'oh, there's another bolt'... Funny as. I kid you not. The pipe that connects to the exhaust manifold and goes to the EGR valve, prolly gona be a biatch to? Id start now with some WD 40 on it and let it soak in.

That is so dodgy

I been waiting for that answer to cav. EF/EL run a single hand brake cable and when i fitted the EF Station wagon diff in project goldie you may remember i also used the lever type hand brake to tho of cause i wanted that feature. So those who use the EF/EL DIFF in their falcons or Fairlanes and still use the 'umbrella type' lever i yet to see pics or read info on what they did to make it work. Do the ED/NC use a single solid brake rotor like whats used on EF/EL? or are they ventilated?

Would be cheaper to throw a bottle of this stuff in and see how she goes. Avalible in most parts stores including Repco. http://rislone.ca/catalog/view/37-liquid-copper-block-seal-intake-radiator-stop-leak-31109

So its not as simple as what this guy claims in this video?

Ive got a grey XF crash pad with no cracks hanging in my back shed, has been for about 3 years. All yours for $50 which will buy me 1 litre of Southern comfort from Dan Murphy's Let me no if you want pics and ill get some when i come home from work tomoz.

What colour is yours?

Thats cool. When i went looking for mine (not that i wanted brown) bigcav was a big help here aswell. I mentioned it on the old forum and he posted a link to some and presto i bought them. I looked in my local Clark rubber store first and they had it to but the online price was a tad cheaper for the same stuff so i just got it instead.

You didn't say "you wanted brown trim" Good luck getting that.
