Hey thanks Bear Doing XG SPAC cluster conversion to XF & Oil sender specific to a few models. Luckily I've found correct VDO 360.013 for about half the price than alot were asking ($145 incl shipping to NZ). Was thinking though the oil pressure sender i already have screwed into my Cleveland block is reading a independent oil pressure gauge but I probably need this VDO sender to read the one in the XG cluster.... Think I was kinda keeping you updated with my engine mods & had CHI top end bolted on,really happy with that driving away but sprung a intake manifold leak & have parked car up now to early in the new year when it'll be fixed . On the other hand though very happy also found wiring diagram for cluster conversion on XF FALCON page & thought may have needed XG fuel sender but apparently can swap XF fuel needle & wire the XF gauge into the XG cluster, happy day's

Haha,missing & then adding the word pressure in oil pressure sender completely changed Google search answers

Thanks as always Dean, really appreciate your replies 99.9% of the time. I found another post on XF FALCON with wiring chart for cluster conversion & at first thought I'd needed to find a XG fuel sender but this bloke rewired the XF fuel gauge component & needle onto the XG cluster,BOOM it worked

Hey Guy's Thought I read somewhere that XG OIL sender will screw into my 351C block, can anyone confirm this. Not far off doing a XG Dash cluster conversion into XF Fairmont. Cheers

Thanks alot,I'll try that,also have a Davies Craig thermo controller that'll be getting installed after some other modifications coming up.

Thanks for all the great advice will be sure to check it out

Sadly I just hosed the car down & it still leaks, wounder if the water found it's way through top of the vent. Another simple fix you may be able to help with my Twin AU fans only one was working, perhaps just relay or wiring you think

Thanx,14x8 on this one

650hp hard on been beaten to death now & the big head seen reason after multiple repeated Google searches coming to the realization that the budget even though very generous was going to explode into the stratosphere BUT there's been a compromise 3v CHI 60cc 185 Heads/single plane 6.3" manifold ... And in other breaking news whilst that was all developing the XFV8 Fairmont had been in the shop getting the infamous rusty plenum sorted,windscreen in & out,painted all for a mere $1250 NZD. Bonus the photos uploaded, goal is being able to close my bonnet, the way I see it I've got to the top of carburetor rod to play around with for height & probably a smaller diameter air cleaner

Hey thanks Bear,spoke to another engine builder today,nothing really wrong with 351c I'm running at present with 10.5.1 compression. Think I'll just try snap out of it & keep the 30k in the pocket. Half the problem each engine builder puts a different take on things, doesn't really listen to the customer needs or take in my notes & nek minute budget blow out going north to 40

Facebook sux,compression calculator just as bad.... Latest & greatest from Andy across the ditch, drum roll please 650hp 408 Cleveland build, yes you heard that correct or should I say read correct. Facts gathered to date Aeroflow 4.000" block immediately available or 4.125" block wait until December. Bore 4030 H beam rods 6.000. Screw all that just straight to the nitty gritty, Compression target perhaps 10.5.1 to 11.1 prepared to use 98/100 octane. Heads are going to be CHI 225 ither 60cc or 67cc planed down to 65cc. Some suggestions point towards 65cc would give me 11.1 Compression using a -13cc dish piston & zero deck. Ultimate goal being 650hp. Some other trivial factor inners, CHI 7.2 single plane intake, forged Scat stroker kit ,242/250 solid roller cam... 10 million $ question is correct negative CC Dish piston? What sayeth thee... Forgive all the dribble it's been an exhausting off & on 3 days. Really just trying to seek a simple answer to a complicated equation

My battery in the boot but some pathetic hookups onto my alternator this afternoon, also another earth over on my power steering pump but pretty sure that's from the 6A MSD box

Thanks Sparky Dave ,check out my replies to Dean if you like

Thanks as always, yes horn is on the blink at the moment also, no doubt a simple fix... Something else weird that's probably related, driving along static noise happening but when indicator in left or right position static noise stops.... Been bolting up the serpentine kit the last day so enjoying how that's coming along

Problem all fixed now, turned the hazard light's on & off and it self corrected itself
