KRUPTOR

just above the starter motor below the left head ,right at the back, there is two small flat areas this is where it is

there's nothing wrong with the standard cam, it is possible with the right heads and intake to make 400HP nat asp with it, engines masters magazine did it a few years ago, but they had to rev it to 7700 rpm and it lost a but of low down torque, there.are better cams out there, if I was you I would just get a set of 1.7 ratio rockers and a decent set of valve spring the throw some boost at it

Leave it and just boost it. not worth messing around with those junk heads

what wiring did u use as the 6cyl harness cant be used ,

smartlock.

No bro,will be in the front.

cut and weld it,brace it too.

Hey guys,i mounted the motor there because i wasnt going to mod the sump and other aspects.I used a 7L sump as a dummy on my dummy motor and trans.I made it so i could work on the motor in the car.You look at Mark's escorts and they are a cunt to work on in car.I can change all my sprakplugs and do compression checks in car.I also made clearance for heat as being a small engine bay and no vents in the bonnet it would cook.But this thing did not get hot at all.It would handle 160-180kmph down the main straights at Winton raceway.It was alittle hairy when you see the corner coming up and you needed to brake hahahahaa.
 
I also had abit of help from a good friend PRO250 David.He use to work with Mark years ago and was involved in a few conversions.
 
My escort steered and handled not bad.I halso had a tailshaft that was short so i wouldnt loose much power to the wheels.I'm a big bloke and i fit in there no worries.
 
It was a rushed job,like i said if i could get another turn i would do it well.I've still got parts for another build,i wouldnt mind a escort van or 2 dr.

same i did mine on a hoist bud welded a bung to the top of the sump

drained the oil then refiled when i was done did not want to wast 2nd had oil

Will need engineering as no xf vehicle came out with a v8.Your best tip would be to talk to an engineer in your local area.

Errrrr................no.
 
Simply put, Vehicle Inspection Centre will not allow an older engine in a newer body.

The ZL is identical to ZJ and ZK (bar hanging panels and lights) why would I need chassis rails designed to cope when there the same as a zj an k? and its alread disc brake rear 225mm rotors which is one requirement, v8 springs are cheap enough change the sway bar to a v8 and it'd the same as a zj/k?? Im confused?

^^What he said and you may have to go a dedicated LPG setup to be able to run the Clevo. An alternative is an AU XR8 5 litre which would give similar performance and be easier to engineer with better economy.

Actually in the long run fitting LPG,your running costs are cheaper.Just make sure your regular maintenance is up to key.

I might have some parts lying around if you need anything give me a buzz, my HQ is about 90% complete.

Dude at work did what your after but has since sold his ute on...mine looks like this as I don't want a rolled pan look or tow bar but something different...
 

 

 
I used 1.6mm zinc annealed sheet and cut it to size and welded it on there when I was happy with what I saw.

Not much of a sleeper with that turbo intake for a drivers side headlight!

I've always wanted to get an entire car airbrushed to look like it has big rust holes in the the bottom corners of door and along roof rails etc etc, some thing in excellent condition made to look as sad as possible, similar to what you have there (the pano) or similar to rat rods, but no actual rust, purely done with airbrush.
But then again i've always wanted to get a car in primer, get a professional graffiti artist to cover it in his work, un-mask it and clear coat it as is. Maybe i'm just sad? lol. 

I love rat rods. This should come out pretty good. Interested to see how the wheels will look. There were some rat rods in the Nats pics that had shiny chrome wheels, definite no no. The black will be much better.

Whats the budget. Go a clevo and box.

No it wont,an external bosch 070 will run it and will run a turbo one.But if you are chasing power in the future the 2x 044 would be the go and a 2.5-5L sureg would be the go.

Thanks for the info.I have already sent it.Sold it for $220.I'm not too worries I got what I needed from it.I honestly don't know if it has everything there in the kit,so goodluck to the fellow who bought it.I swapped it for some gear like I mentioned,so im not too worried but for future reference i'll keep that info in mind lol.

Dude, $200. That is fucking cheap. I usually sensor myself but that is seriously cheap. Here i'll price it for you....
 
 
*edit* It will still be a bargain at $400 bucks. If you serious on that price, Anyone watching this snap this up RIGHT NOW! To get this stuff new your looking at over $500 inc post and that's not assembled where this is ready to go.
