looks close to copper bronze or bronze wine as well

does anyone know if a xa xb toploader shifter will work in a xw

without floor hole mods? as xw xy shifters are stupid money new

yeah the high pressure wet blast that takes paint off

hey people,

has anyone on here had  their car done with dustless paint removal before?

any pros cons and a rough price much appreciated

most likely the battery is on its way out

- check distilled water levels in the battery by screwing battery caps off and topping up with water

- check battery with volt meter before and after car started to see if volts drop

- check battery terminals aren't cracked or corodid  too bad and clean with wire brush

if the alternator was stuffed the car would die when the car is running due to it draining the battery power

without recharging the battery

but if the car doesn't die after its started id say its a battery problem or a short in your wiring slowly draining

the car battery when the car is off

chicken wire with thin bog with metal filings chucked in the bog so the magnets still stick

ive still got the c4 auto that's beefed up that came with the 393 atm got the 351 clevo in her

with the beefed up c4 as my other c4 auto was slipping bad

ive got a rug-ar1 28 spline wide ratio but can get a 31 spline close ratio for $1500

hey people,

im going to be putting a 393 clevo in my xw

its about 500hp at the crank

I have a toploader and c4 auto box at home

im not sure which way to go as its mainly a cruiser and maybe the odd hill climb

any thoughts? pros and cons?

ive got a pair on my xw the old owner put them on a stock 351 clev with a two barrel carb? It goes ok higher in revs

but a pig lower revs

anyone know what a set of 4v clevo close chamber heads are worth?

my 351 c4 2.77 diff get around 5km per litre on long trips on highway about 6.5km per litre

swapped a toploader, 9 inch lsd, and some xy buckets I had lying around to a mate I guess it owes me around 4000

ive already got a 351 4v in the car that's enough for me plus I need a paint job

im going to sell my 393 complete stroker engine and seeing roughly what they are worth

its got a scat crank, srp forged pistons, 2v ported heads, msd ignition, 750 holley,

castle extractors, 120 amp alternator done about 12000km

there is none to compare to on gumtree, here or ebay in price

I have a 6cyl borg warner in my 351 xw with a c4 auto they are fine

if its a 302 auto you will never kill the diff in it

its original brambles red going to take it back to brambles just wasn't sure what colour it was cheers

HEY PEOPLE,

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT PAINT COLOUR  MY XW IS?

ITS NOT THE ORIGINAL COLOUR BUT I KNOW ITS A FORD RED BUT NOT SURE
