Here's another question. More for curiositys sake. Did the 302 and 351 use the same pistons? Were they dished? Just standard Falcon engines, not 4V or GT. 

If you need it just send me a message.

I have what I assume is an 86DA motor in my carport. I'm going to be taking the sump and a few pieces of it for mine. If you want the block or anything off it before it goes to scrap, it's all yours.  

I'll be watching to see how it this goes.

XC & XE factory manual only lists one cam specs for 302 & 351,

That's perfect thanks. 

Here's a simple one. Did a 302 and 351 have a different cam fitted standard? XD vs XD. 

Needs the tub line to be higher to look normal I think.

That was definitely correct, 1 3/4 is what I used. 

Would this work?

I met a bloke using a 6 cylinder T5 on a windsor with a modified single rail V8 bellhousing. Should work the same for a clevo.

While I'm here, did any old V8 falcons have a cable clutch? XY or similar? I swear I've seen bellhousings with the provision for a fork. If that's the case I won't have to convert my XD to hydraulic clutch.

Permatex number 3 I've always used, the aviation one. Nearly anything will work. I normally brush the gaskets both sides, bolt threads too yes. I've left the o ring dry normally but they can be a pain to get on and off.

I'm not sure what triggers the pump but the guages sure run off the traditional sensors. Would be very basic compared to modern EFI.

Would be able to fit a carby easy, just needs power to coil and dizzy and an electric low pressure fuel pump. Weber needs ignition switched power or run a Holley etc.

Yeah the fronts have the tone wheel on the disc.

Just read that again, if the abs tone wheels are on the axle ends then the rotors will be the same.

Calipers are the same. I don't know if the tone wheels for the ABS are on the rotors or what but the non ABS rotors will fit anyway.

Guessing its going in an X series? Won't make a difference if so, use whatever discs you have.

That stance, paint and wheel combo is perfect.

Yep as the other guys have said AUs run coil packs. Come to think of it, why don't you just run the original dizzy, ecu and wiring loom just fit it all to the AU engine? You can still run a J3 chip on those earlier ecus

This is how it's going to be.

Can always notch the shock tower.

Do you guys have the mobile touch up blokes over there? They would fix that up for a few hundred.

Otherwise I agree with Jim, slowly fill it all with paint then wet sand smooth and polish.  Wont be perfect but should be tidy.

I think he's just talking about the bell housing.

I haven't seen a thread, I just pulled it out of an XD I bought years ago. Had a T5 but the bell housing has the old 76DA part number. Haven't looked at it for a while but i think they were drilled and tapped.

I have been trying to sell it, the problem would be freight. Are you in Vic? Its iron and would have to weigh 20kg I think.

Can use a single rail one and re drill it. I've got one here that has been done.

Plenty of good bits on that XF still.

Could just screw it shut like I have, Dean suggested it years ago.

Better than freezing to death if you drive on a cold night.

Very nice, thanks for the pics. Same interior as mine had.
