I really need to update this. I have since got both guards and the drivers door straight and into hi-fill primer, left door will be done tonight. Have fitted up drivers side panels for alignment. Valve springs are all fitted to the head and have started on the dump pipe which will be done tonight. Im on break tomorrow which shall see the left door into hi-fill and the timing chain and head fitted along with the exhaust manifold, turbo and dump pipe. Will upload pics when i get time

well ive done some more.

cleaned up the head and ports

Lapping the valve

valves and seals installed.

Head and manifold on for mock up

and the turbo

I'm waiting for my valve springs to turn up so I can install them then bolt the head down and its onto making the dump pipe

Call or email Camtech. They deal with this every day of the week and look after their customers

The block had been honed and was nice and clean. Narr the hole isnt big enough for the bellhousing lol.

But i have ordered my valves so hopefully will get the head sorted and on next break

Thanks for the kind words. Well im working for the next 8 days then i get 5 off so will hopefully get more done next break

Well the engine and box are in. Next i will fit the cam then start on the head. Tomorrow i will order my valves and valve springs.

Yeah both are blank between inlets 1 & 2 and have the HF under the rocker cover. mmmmm very interesting thanks for that

beautiful, thanks heaps

HF1 and HF2 is just early XD head. No real difference between TBH.

 

Clutch I'm not sure of having not done 1 in ages but I'd assume there a 5/16th UNF.Happy to be wrong though but someone like Sunbury brakes would know.. 

Weird since the HF1 came off a 93 xf ute.

Thanks for that ill have to order some in.

Hi all just a few questions,

 First what size, length and grade bolts are used for the clucth on the 86DA engines?

Where can i buy new valves from?

What is the difference between the HF-1 and HF-2 heads?

Well a small update the motor is together other then the cam. Now I just need to do is find out the size of the clutch bolts so I can get them then I can fit the box up and put the motor in

Well had some parts turn up over the past few days bring on the weekend

Box ready to fit

Cam and Main bearings

Lifters

Cam turned up today aswell.

been watching this build on ffau, making decent progress considering what you started with

Cheers mate there has been some work on this harder then my previous cars ive done.

New main bearings and cam bearings should turn up this week aswell as my cam and lifters(From Camtech) Which should see the bottom end put together then I can fit the flywheel, clutch and gearbox then I plan on fitting the bottom end and box into the truck so I can start sorting out the dump pipe and exhaust slowly

compression should be around 8.5:1

pistons are 22cc and cam specs

will do next time im out in the shed

not sure off the top of my head. the one off the motor is a 93 xf ute unleaded and i also have a head off a efi fairlane

Lol. the different colours are just from sheet steel i had sitting in the shed and had painted other crap on it. When i get some time ill add more pics of where it is up to now

Well last year in December i got a F100 without motor or box for free so that became my newest project. It has a 3.50:1 lsd 9in in it and i am building up a 250xflow with a blow thru carby and a turbo which will be backed up with a T5. Well here are some pics of the work done so far.

When I got it

Stripping

Tray I picked up cheap

The damage

The fun

As it sits the bottom end of the motor is nearly ready to go in with the gearbox. Cab has been stripped and is ready for paint doors and guards are stripped, rust free and in primer and tray is 95%repaired just need to weld it out. Have also done a diff flip and painted the enginebay and chassis

There is a Black and also Yellow off the fuel sender so would the black just be an earth and yellow signal to the gauge? Then off the fuel pump there is a Black and a Red so is the black a earth and Red 12v switched/ignition?

Hi all,

 Im just fitting a XG fuel tank into my XF ute and am just wondering what the 3 wires off the XF fuel tank go to (Black, Red, Green/Yellow) and what do I connect the 4 wired to off the XG tank? I am also swapping the dash over to the XG one. Also my XF is a 91model with the carby.

Well I have got access to a NA fairlane and a XG so if either one of them will fit I can go get them
