    power steering pump help for cleveland engines

    You cannot just use a saginaw pump either unless it already has one? They came with a c2 pump and different bracketry. To buy the gear all new its like $500 inc a GM chromed new pump, a pulley to suit and a bracket kit. You can buy all this online probaly cheaper.

    E85 or LPG or normal 91

    Im upgrading my mild crossflow to e85 at the moment. Fuel pump - $490 (other options out there cheaper but I want it to last) Fuel Lines and fittings - $400 give or take, QFT 650 modded for E85 - $350 (you can buy a qft ready to go around $800 or other brands) and a Tune $5-900. So around 2k for my upgrade and I will be using 30% more fuel at $1.56 p/ltr so just on $2p/ltr compared to 98. Im doing it because its a cooler and cleaner fuel. Has more of an octane rating, so those 3 things combined should provide a boost in my torque and power. Even a little bit is good in my books. Plus I can run a fair bit more compression to boost power and torque even more. Cooler engine and higher octane + more timing so it has heaps of benefits in my opinion :-)

    Id love to go drum as i hear its more consistent but im gonna say pump as its more convenient.

    Not a fan of E85? Yeah definately think they should work better lol Also you are right, 2 different concepts and both worked.

    My 79 TE Cortina Ghia

    I had them on my corty for a while. They are wicked pipes. I would of liked to have used them but now im going with E85 fuel i want the bigger primaries to expell the gases quicker. I hope they work out better than the off the shelf hurricanes i have atm lol. I would be interested in doing a back to back test when this motor goes on the engine dyno as soon as its pieced together. Something me and Tim can talk about :-)

    100% obsolete now. We are still waiting on a new manufacturer.

    200 rods into 250?

    Couldn't agree more except for when someone thinks they own the designs for an engine idea and it should not be deviated from when it fails consistently.

  24. Hi all, So i just realised ACL went under. I have only ever used ACL Race series gaskets and bearings. What is everyone else using and where do you get them from? I want good quality... Cheers Chris
