    302 Cleveland Build

    Hey fellas, I have a 302c waiting to be done up with some bells and whistle, what should be done to give it some power? Not willing to spend a whole lot, maximum 4k. I was thinking on putting a dominator 3500 high stall, 465 holley carby, edelbrock performance intake and a new exhaust system from the extractors. Is that a good start or am I wasting my money? Any advice will be great! Cheers

    Guys I have finally started the Build on my XD. After turning 18 in June last year and finishing school I have found myself an apprenticeship as a electrician. It's been a good 3 months into the build now and you can follow it all on Instagram @1tuffxd302 Cheers Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Ye we know man, My dad Is financially going to help me also since his selling his 66 mustang we built a while ago. So we have had experience with building a car from a rust bucket. I need to start doing my homework to see how much things are going to cost, I know the engine bay respray will be about $400. I now have to work out how much everything will be for the motor etc. To be honest I'm still thinking is it worth putting a hi stall and diff gears in. I might just freshen the motor up a bit and put a new exhaust and extractors on. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Dean touching on about the rims. Do I need to do the diff conversion to fit wide tyres under the car? What about spacers, is that an alternative or no? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Hey buddy cheers for the help, Iv decided on this for the build. 1. Rip motor out, spray engine bay (silver) and tidy up the motor, install a mild cam, refurb the carby. Then I will be installing a 2500 hi stall and change diff gears or swap out the diff to a XG. Also add a quick shift. Once all done put motor back in and install and exhaust system. Then get the car dyno tuned. Touch up paint like what dean said, use a touch up pen for the scratches, also spray the rear bumper, front bumper etc. 2. Save up enough cash and respray the car. I have decided on leaving the interior unless someone can fix the huge hole in the seat. 3. Figure out new rims and tyres, either want 19" globes or like the boys said before, (forgot what size rims) I think they said 15x5 front and 15x8 rear not to sure. Obviously globes.

    I want fat tyres at least to fill the guard in. Because there is heaps of room there and it just looks silly. (In the rear) Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    That's hard for me because half the things you just said I wouldn't have a clue on what they are. I'm not mechanically minded so going to places like a swap meet will be to hard for me. Not wanting to make power any more for the clevo I have decided on a lopey cam, refurbish the carby, new exhaust system and take it to get dyno tuned. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Well that roof was fixed about 20 years ago. We are gonna take it to a guy we know and get an offer we will do the whole outside and the engine bay, I really don't want to keep the original paint, I want it looking neat that will turn anyones heads not just heads of people that know what an XD is. The car was really never used I'm ready to take it off the road now. What I'm going to do is wait and save enough to do the paint and motor. Which should be soon since my dad is chipping in a little also. Respray the whole car properly and dress the motor up. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Ahh so tempting to leave it but I just want to do a quick 4k respray, my dad went to the same guy I'm going to and it came out great, obvsiously not perfect but its good. The car isnt original, numbers arent matching, different rims, different steering wheel. So I might just take everything off and store it in a box. I'll send pictures of all the Marks on the car. That's just a few so yeah I personally want to respray it, obviously not a show car respray but a half decent one. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    That thing looks clean man! Ye I will be waxing it etc, will stay in the garage most of the time, my dads selling his 66 mustang so the xd will take its spot. Ohh ye also forgot about the 19" globes, I want to put them on her with some new shoes. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    It needs paint, if I leave it, it will just be a rust bucket. Plans are to paint it, de badge but obviously keep all of them. New exhaust system clean the engine bay up, clean the motor up new paint, dress up kit etc, cam, carby, dyno tune, shift kit, xg diff and hi stall. Then maybe if I have enough I will do the seats but to be honest they dont worry me. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Nah I want to, dosnt look to good. Obviously keeping it silver but I'm going to de badge the whole thing and remove the chrome trim from the sides. Also do some work in the interior since the drivers seat etc has a couple holes in them as well as the headlining. Does anyone know what colour interior this is, someone mentioned it to me a couple years ago but I have forgotten. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
