They work fine. Same style as Trans coolers. The Phase 4 "legend" ran a winged sump (just 2 Victa fuel tanks welded on the original sump) for extra cooling across the Mountain.

Sweet.! I'm not a Sparky, but, I guess it's just the range of measurement/pressure that it reads. Might not be 100% accurate using a different unit, but who actually reads the gauge and says "oh, my engine is 61.74 psi today" I usually just look at it, and if it's in the middle, its OK. . Definitely interested in how the 408/CHI stuff goes, only heard good things about their products. Kinda expensive, 'cos you need to match their inlet and heads, so adds up.......... Cheers.

Clevo's dont have an extension, bud, you're thinking of Windsor maybe? They had an extension out from around where the fuel pump is. Clevo use a specific sender, VDO 360.001, I think, and if my brain is working, they were NPT (National Pipe Thread). Not sure if the newer blocks used metric fine or something.

@deankxf or @SPArKy_Dave might be able to help with this. I recall one fan came on with A/C and the other was temp sender.??

Aaaah yes the plenum. The bane of all XA-XF Falcons..... Well, that will still go hard, and sound sweeeeet.!

All good. Depends on what you really want, a 400HP Clevo is fine for street use, 3.55 diff gears, closed chamber iron heads or CHI if you have the coin. But then you have to buy a CHI intake, ARP head studs, and down the rabbit hole you go......

Cant help with the code, but any good panel shop should be able to colour match it pretty close. Some even have a machine that they hold over the panel and it prints out the code/paint mix. Ford used a lot a Argent silver and dark Argent in the early days for Grilles wheels etc..

Quite an involved calculation, 65cc + 13cc (dish) +0.040" for a head gasket etc, etc. Have used WallaceRacing calcs before, gets pretty close. http://www.wallaceracing.com/cr_test2.php

Tyres make a huge difference. I took the Globe mags off the XB, and stuck the stockies back on, and couldn't believe the noise/vibration. New boots all round, and Wow! so smooth.

I looked into the Bangin' Headlights that people rave about, excellent light and look original, but, at around $250 they can shove that......I ran Narva relays on new sealed beams, made a heap of difference.

Way cool.! Have to grab that one. Cheers mate

Yeah, feel your pain, mate. Had issues with the Nugget for ages, Uni joints, suspension bushes, 3x wheel alignments, pinion angle shims, chassis jig alignment says it was within1* front to rear which is awesome, rear trans bush, etc, etc. still not 100% but around 98% gone. Will just live with at at high speeds. My daily Mazda 6 sits on 180 km/h and not a peep, (sorry 110km/h), never laid a spanner on it....

Yeah mate, as Dean suggested, they can be a bit of work. I usually run the front seat forward, squeeze in behind it facing the boot, and use my knees to push the seat frame backwards and up. Once you have it out you'll see the "hook" they clamp onto.

Nope........

Will most likely be the colours in the engine bay. Starter is red/blu, Tacho is white/grn etc..
