SMIKXF / YEABRA

But the renegate shifter on the toploader was a lot of fun esp for track n hill climb stuff ️

I jus changed over to a C4 from a toploader mate.. I've got a 393ci 600hp n wouldn't be real cruiser friendly with a manual - depends what u like I guess but with big cam n horsepower I def think auto.. took me ages to change over

I saw a smik XE at Phils auto in Newcastle few weeks ago running a decent 351' and AOD but box was out as apparently it was leaking n it's common on them.. I had one behind a 68' mustang 302 Windsor n was sweet I jus don't think they handle huge power real well

I've had the exact same set up for my 351' n built it in 2005 and havng had an issue at all ! Made 340rw hp n goes pretty hard with top loader ,9' and 750dp on it

Yeah thanks mate it's comin along nicely now goin up there tomoro to drop off the new engine to be painted n see her in the flesh now the bay is done

Got the rear guards rolled more before it jus got painted last week so cheers What about the front guards mate ? Any issues ? I've got RRS front coilovers n hoping they won't scrub guards on full lock

I stil like the idea of having a 600hp cleavo with air con n power steer that I can show for a while n be good enough for powercruise later on

I've got 28 spline axles in my LSD 9' and pretty sure they are out of an XB 9' n I wanna put smik axles in her so I don't bend em later on Where do I buy some quality axles from ?

Hey guys I'm needing help on what fuel system set up to run on my XF now I'll hopefully have it home end of July ! I jus bought a pavtek 393ci 600hp so will need a surge tank wyc n have a good mate who happy to fab up a custom alloy fuel n surge tank but unsure where to put it n run lines etc Any help or pics would be sickkkkkk Cheers

Thanks for the photos mate, I'll make sure mine is the same rolled length !

No dramas with clearance at all ? What size tyres

What size front n rear width rims did u go with mate ?

Have u ordered ur engine yet mate ? I jus put a deposit on the pavtek 600hp 393ci cause one thing I do know is a poor man pays twice as I have done many times with my car over the 15years I've had it n now I'm jus goin with the reputation n quality the guys there have ! Get what u pay for with engines.. Hope it works out sweet for ya mate.. Love ya build thread too
