Stock cam and springs will restrict you but being sohc your mad not to change them as there easy to get to

AU 16s are a guilty pleasure of mine on xds anyway. Millions out there, only problem is the offset really

Yep probably will happen, Ive been speaking to him via msg because I'm OS this year so I dont get the full picture. He did say yesterday that he would like to drop in a windsor with self learning efi so I'll take that as a win. Body is apparantly quite rusty so it might be a looong project

Eseries diff will fit straight in.
He can use xa onwards stuff to get front discs.
Best to adapt an xy booster and master cylinder,the remote xr ones are hard to find and rubbish.

So ive had mine at around 220f at winton doing skids around the track etc etc. Thats with a turbo 250 on lpg with 3core and el fans. Puked a little bit into the catch tank but its nothing serious. Normal cruising at 100kph itll sit on 185f with one fan turning. Just thought I'd share my info

Drop spindles would solve this but $$$$. I broke 2 front rh shocks when i ran the old xe low to the ground

My turbo motor has cast pistons, its in the tune. Dont drop 1k on pistons that will most likely not be needed. I loooove this thread though

Solid advice going on in here. 250 rods arent the weakest thing going around, several turbo motors run them to great effect(300rwhp+)not to mention torque. And the ARP rod bolts are future proof and reliable. Goodluck with it all

this is sort of classic retro should be nice to use and not look crap in an XD

It's more than just a engine. TBH if you spend $3500 on a engine expect to spend that on a drive line and acc to suit it to do it right.
 
Build a big engine and run a stock geared stock driveline and you will loose every set of lights. If staying manual you will NEED a proper clutch around $600.Then you will kill T5's like no tomorrow. Then you will fit a LSD to the diff when you fit correct 3.7 plus gears,then you would realize all the auto car's are still beating you so you want a C4 and convertor which will cost as much as the engine almost.

Looks like xds had a different profile to xes. The d-profile stuff is cheap as hendrixhc said. Ive used red in mine, came up schmicko

+1 crossflow

Bash the passanger floor in with a sledge hammer and it will fit but the sump you will have to make
twin cam engine has a windmill yes will it fit into a Cortina no you will have to remake the mainfolds sump will not clear anything theres a fair bit to it and not a conversion for the faint hearted

just boost the crossy

Cheers its been a big help. Now just have to find a good pair of seats.

heres a picture of the inboard mounts. Id dare say they re a hybrid because they bolt into the stock floor mounts

heres a picture, if you need a better aspect i can get more pictures
