TF_250

Made 8hp more was a very temperature dependent fuel it gets hot, my cell was warm to touch after a run and i was very hard to keep a consistent tune because of that, so for me and what im doing (bracket racing) it didn't work out. Love the smell though both raw and out the exhaust, better then that unleaded shit!! You going just pump or drum??

They have massive long primary's, different length secondary's then no collector...........different. This is what I say to people there is so many different ways of thinking, so your way isn't the right way and everyone's else is wrong. Just look at those two sets of pipes side by side chalk and cheese but both worked. Don't get stuck in tunnel vision!! Yeah Chris those pipes will work better then hurricanes, also good luck with e85 mate!!

Old xrglenn pipes?? Stick them on the DOHC mate

Finally got the pipes all welded up made a jig to stop them from bending. I will be coating them Black after the engine is dynoed. Before After Starting to come together on this side. Gathering all the fittings for the main water hoses

Still chipping away at this painted up the engine black, getting a few things together to have a crack over Easter. Got the alternator bracket all sorted. Also as you can see i'm working on the water inlet and water pump mounting.

Got the ecu to drive this now, can't get over how small is is!! It will do every thing including full cam control And fly by wire and 120mb of logging.

Yep it's the bottom timing chain gear as well all one. I'd say it will be heavier it's basically a crossflow without push rods and with one more cam, 12 more lifters,valves and springs, alloy sump, main girdle, larger timing chain, cam gears etc so yeah it will be heavier Guess I'll have to make a bit more power then

Yeah mate its getting there. The xflow ran a dizzy with 1 tooth and the crank trigger. the DOHC has what would be the dizzy sensor on the back of the camshaft and has the same 36-1 crank trigger behind the balancer in the engine. So will be run the same way. If i use the std ford coil that came with the motor i have to buy ignighters to fire them as the ecu cant do that, that's why i use the LS3 coils as they will do the job and have built in ignighters and i already had them just had to remake a couple of leads and i can still fit the p[plastic cover.

Fitted the ATI balancer but it was to far foward for me so i had 9mm machind off the back nice and close now Back in the car coming together nicely, the wooden piece in between the manifold and head is to test the dimensions will be made in alloy.

Modded the firewall for starter clearance another item off the list.

Update... Welded some new metal into the corners of the engine mounts and re drilled the holes, you wouldn't know there modded Then onto the exhaust, first the flange had to be changed to DOHC, then pipes 1 and 6 had to be modded because the nature of the port in the dohc head the exhaust ports are centre in the chamber where as the xflow is towards the rear., so my pipes had to come forward to meet the port, no bigggy except when that is done the pipes clash with the engine mount so they have been cut and re welded and # 6 looks a little strange because all the primary pipes are the same length as each other so 6 is now the same as well. I think after the dyno i'll get them coated black this time the silver really go's to shit IMO!!

Got the sump sorted out finally, fit in the car sung but Im happy there is at least 4mm clearance all round so that will do me, also had to relocate the drain. Searched around for balancer options but ended up going the same as i had before. The alternator that came with the engine was stuffed and i couldn't be farked sorting out serpentine belts and tensioners so balancer, pulley vbelt done.

I used the 200-8572 .443 OD 3/8 ID the ID needs about 30 seconds with a dremal and a small stone for the 10mm bolt to go through and the need a little off the length as well. Im using the ring as well so I'm going to also get some 203-2082 flywheel bolts just for piece of mind they are 1.000" long , by the time i use the washers and the ring the bolts are getting a little short for me.

yeah mate its a bit if an illusion. the block is the same length, the timing cover is larger bit the rockercover does come forward alot i have a thermo in my pics no worries it would fit but its tight.

I was looking at that today, I'm running an electric water pump and all -16an hoses. I'm going to run the top out of the front of the thermostat housing under the rockercover to radiator and once i mount the pump the bottom will com around into a gutted waterpump. Well that's the plan atm!! . Not much room there once the fan is in but all ill have is the ati balancer and the alternator with a short belt like on my crossflow.

345hp @ fly 11.58@114.4mph 98fuel 1210kg cortina

Update on this, I got a EA falcon bell and it was going to end up to deep and way to many mods to fit. I found a Quicktime bell form the states made for a BA-BF-FG to c4 and it was advertised as the same depth as the bell i have but when it came it is about 3mm deeper then the c4 6cyl bell but it fits good Now I'll use the windsor flexplate with some arp insert washers on the holes to be able to use the M10 bolts, use me original xflow/windsor torque convertor and it all doesn't push the engine to far forward at all I'm actually using the std cortina engine mounts bolted to the FG block and i have to fill and redrill one hole. And to top it off it was $700 delivered to my door form the us with .85 exchange rate!! ( a local dellow is $800 and 20mm deeper then the old crossflow bellhousing) I ended up just cutting out the firewall around where the starter motor mounts because it mounts on the left side of the engine now the cortina firewall wont fit at all ill bow it all in after the engine is finial fitted. Next step is to finish the engine mounts off and start on the sump then it will be all fitted.

N/A all the way guys, not really looking for or expecting anything faster just different. It will have 6 throttle bodies I'm using my old setup i have to make a transition plate from the existing round runner to the dohc oval port.

yep thats the plan, Without the pics you sent me I might have been hesitant to do this so thanks for that. If you ever saw my old engine bay thats a yes....for sure!!!

Thats nice work mate just the picture i wanted to see at the moment give you a great idea, which port number in the head is that through?? Amen to that i know about that all to well at the moment!!

Trust me ando wazzys engine in a cortina would kick all our asses.....LOL Rob just go the custom route mate it would be a shame to put some off the shelf extractors on after all the custom work that has gone into the ute mate

cool i just found that out as well. So mine flows converted to 28" 100 60.30 200 125.23 300 186.07 400 217.08 450 220.65 500 230.12 550 238.00 600 241.14 that was done in 2006 in SF120 @10" with 1.860" valve exhaust flows average 73% half decent numbers but i does have a slight water leak problem at the moment...LOL off topic for a sec Found this on Atomics website this is stock head flow!! BA-BF 6 Cyl DOHC Head at 25”H20 Valve lift Inlet - CFM Exhaust - CFM % - EX to IN . 100” 72.0 75.9 105% . 150” 107.0 111.7 104.5% . 200” 144.3 141.1 97.7% . 250” 177.8 162.4 91.3% . 300” 206.9 174.9 84.5% . 350” 228.3 184.1 80.6% . 400” 242.7 190.2 78.3% . 450” 249.9 194.3 77.7% . 500” 252.9 198.3 78.4% . 550” 254.1 200.8 79.0%

Just do 1 port and there are about 3 or 4 people in Australia that i know of that would be about to cnc port a head for you, problem solved you could line them up and do half a dozen of them!! LOL ps how do i convert 10" to 28"???

Mine and Kens were done by the same guy. his may have a smaller primary pipe but i cant remember, they look different because of fitment into the car mine being a TF is a lot tighter then the TD. Also Rob the 3.5" may be the go but every time Ken's is driven in anger the exhaust is siting on the trailer........LOL!!

Car wasn't running right last Saturday night on Sunday upon inspection this was exposed.....Shit!! It has been welded up today but have still got a hole when ground back down, so will try some more on Monday.
