And what's a timing set? Looked it up all that comes up is timing chains.

What extractors do you recommend because I heard not to worry about extractors at all.

Definitely want swapped diff gears, so your saying dont even bother with even a 2000 stall converter? I also messaged crow cams to see if they make a lopey cam for a 302c stock and they do. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Will something like this give me a good note to the old 302? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112057002092 This is from the thomastown exhaust shop you were talking about sparky. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Maybe later down the track when I get off my apprenticeship I'll chuck a 351 in it bear. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Nah Sparky, Not matching numbers, my dad did an engine swap about 10 years ago to a 302 clevo. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Dont want to risk a canary, red P Plates are a cop magnet let alone a XD that turns heads with an exhaust leak and a fucked up paint job. Well the paint ain't to bad I must admit. This is mine

I definetly will start the YouTube channel. Just another question. Where do you recommend to get the exhaust system from? Does it have to be custom fabricated or can I buy pre made ones? And what extractors do you recommend?

Ok mate I really appreciate your help, I'll send an update once the cars all done, I might make a couple YouTube videos on the build. And yeah that thing sounds good.

Ok cool, what cam do you recommend I want it lumpy, dont care if it slows the launch down, I figured from your other post that I'll have to spend a heap tone to catch up with my mates.

Yeah nah not willing to spend that much on the old girl right now, I'm on 1st year apprenticeship wages lol, still need to respray her and do the interior, also want to put 19" globes. So I just want her to have a lumpy idle, and to sound nice. And obviously drive nicely also. What should I get done? Rings and bearings? New cam and lift? 600 carby or should I refurbish the thermoquad? New exhaust system?

Alright then haha so I have no hope, I just want the thing to get up and go and to sound good, are the mods listed above a good start?

Sorry I meant 6cly, Ones a done up nf fairlane xr6 mock up and ones a stock el, got chopped by both badly.

Ok, thanks everyone for the responses, I really appreciate it but I have now made a decision and want your input. What cam and lifter kit do you guys recommend? Would a stage 2 shift kit from Ebay work fine? Which rings and bearings rebuilt kit should I get? What timing chain should I go for? I need to get a new carby (looking at a 600 holley) unless I can get my thermoquad refurbished since it struggles to keep up. 2500 hi stall. New diff gears recommendation or should I put in an xg diff? What exhaust system should I go for? Any recommended manufacturers. A good dyno tuning shop in western suburbs of victoria if anyone has any recommendations. I want to use the car to cruise around on a Sunday and chop a few of my mates 4 cylinders lol. I want it to sound nice with a lumpy idle. Any changes you guys would recommend let me know since I'm not mechanically minded and any help would be great.

Thanks for all the advice fellas!

Please dont speak car language to me, still new to the whole car thing. I own a 1981 Ford Fairmont XD Ghia, looking for a new carby for my 302 Clevo. Anyone have any ideas on a good one?

Thanks for the reply, ill do some research on them!

Awesome post. Looking at buying one my self.
