    351 into 84 xe

    I like the idea of the ball bearings. How are you letting blow-by escape without an obvious vent visible?

    351 into 84 xe

    yeah sweet. Due to my remote location lpg is not an option so it seems pretty simple to make it comply with unleaded.

    What emission control are you guys using on these later model petrol v8 xe's? Just a cat converter and egr from the rocker?

    351 into 84 xe

    I know its been covered in part on the net and on here but i still haven't found a definite answer. Has anyone in N.S.W gotten a 84 xe regod with a 351c. Some info i read states that you can because the v8 was a option for xe's, then some say that because the 84 models didnt come with a 8 option you can't. Is it just a matter of getting it engineered? Cheers

    Deciphering engine number

    Thats where it gets confusing. I have no idea what vehicle it originally came out of, i removed it from an xb sedan. But the engine number tells us its a US block from a 77 f100? Yet they stopped making them in the usa in 74. So how is a US block marked for 1977?

    Deciphering engine number

    https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://fordclassics.com/date-codes&ved=2ahUKEwjJl6CY7uDYAhVFlpQKHSXtAOYQFjABegQIFBAB&usg=AOvVaw0Zao3fL4qJ3LGtZNGecyCa This site tells me its a febuary build on the 7th day of the month. Would i be right in saying it would most likely be from 1977?

    Mig welders!

    I was welding up a re-enforcing plate under the battery tray on the xe when my cigweld weldskill 135 decided to stop feeding wire. on settings 1 and 2 there is only a click from the welder when the trigger is pulled. it still welds fine on settings 3 and 4. has anyone heard of this problem before. its out of warranty so will nearly cost more to fix than its worth. what would be a good 10 amp plug replacement welder (gas/gasless) cheers

    supposedly made in vietnam. and yeah they claim that the material they use today is alot better than the stuff used years ago. I think ill go the rubber control arm bushes and just get a set of whiteline gear for the swaybar. ill keep you guys updated on their performance when its finally on the road.
