Hmmm...... maybe Crow or Crane?

Holy Crap......... sub 9's. And then drives it home.

G'day fella. Nice couple of utes ya have there. Would like to see some interior and engine bay shots if ya got 'em.

Yep. That cam is toast........

Schrodinger....... LMAO.

Wow, thats a lot of metal removed from the crank weights. Externally balanced have weights on the harmonic balancer/flywheel, does yours have a pulley or a harmonic balancer? If you are getting it balanced, you will need the whole rotating assembly. Crank, rods, pistons, flywheel or flexplate, and front pulley/balancer. Bearing shells look good, might wanna check out the oil pump and strainer

I'd blame a shit lifter, first. Don't make 'em like they used to. Oil pump ok? Oil viscosity skinny?

Profile looks killa.! Not too high. Can't wait to see it painted.

Agree with Thom, if any fuel has leaked through the injectors or whatever, the oil may have thinned out. Get it hot, drain the oil and stick something nice in there first. Stoopid question.... has it got enough oil.?

Use these at work, the coil spring that holds the chisel in, keeps rattling loose, and they lose all there "rattle" Gotta stop every 2-3 minutes and tighten it up. Heard on the grapevine that Aldi is bringing out a $300 Plasma cutter............

Holy shit, that's shiny......! Do you wear safety goggles, or sunglasses.?

Will always be a compromise, when running dual fuel. Had a mate who ran a 302 with just the Holley base plate, on LPG, timing at 17* , was a friggin missile.! Let us know how ya get on, would be interested to find out if it was the module wiring.

Agreed. Pull #1 plug and stick a straw in the hole, wind it over by hand to verify that its actual TDC, Check balancer for TDC, correct firing order 13726548, separate leads 5 and 6, as they can crossfire if running parallel to each other. Pull dizzy and stick it in with vac can at the front of the block, and then start at number 1 plug lead, anticlockwise. I'm sure you've done all this, just trying to diagnose over the 'net.

Sundowner roof spoiler.....??

Excellent news, bud. Wishing you well, do you need to sell the XD to pay for the op.? I'll give you a couple of hundred for it. Just asking.
