I think I might look for a good 4L myself soon. Still got a mint low km DA 87 sitting at home but some RND on newer technology never hurt anyone.

A Gas ring isn't advisable if your gonna run a cam, I'd go for a mixer style setup cause it's more vacuum sensitive and does away with flat spots.

If you want to cam it in the future your probably better off with a log styled aftermarket or CFI manifold. You lose alot of air speed with the large plenum.....I'm just speaking from my own experience.

Maybe your one of the lucky few who's old man is a mechanic or that works in a reco shop so yeah I might have been a bit hard on you there. I've learnt much myself and never had a guiding hand, I have also done alot of R & D.....Good to see a younger dude taking interest in this old stuff, You know a fair bit for someone of your age.... I rest my case

Shit man you'd have to run a prick of a torque converter with that kind of peak torque or be using a manual with very short diff. 350 hp?? Man u are a fantasy street machine mechanic LOLOL! Do you know what the flow rates for a stock 2V head are? Line ball with a AFR185 WINDSOR which are capable of 450+ hp out of the box.

302 and 250 crossflow have many similarities, I have the same problems as you Gerg but way worse, I literally never get on cam around town. 1,700kg, BW51 and 2.77 will do that My cam is very similar to yours in duration, what kind of economy are you getting mate????

Too small? They flow as much as some good alloy WINDSOR heads. Your comp will be low dude so for a safe reliable tune i'd go for a single pattern cam around 210 degrees. A 23 year old kid might be good at putting together a horse power hero but has no idea when it comes to tractability and the concept of dynamic compression. This is coming from an old head that has sniffed his fair share of exhaust fumes.

Sounds like leads, the windsor is the automotive equivelant of a cockroach....Toughest little engine going around.

Maybe your comp is down on 2 and 5??? Does she rattle? Get a new Weber, yours must be stuffed.

The idle circuit mixture adjustment and idle speed screw is all that you should have too touch. Your volumetric efficiency hasn't improved at all so why put anything else but a Weber on it? Your engine makes no Power past 3,000rpm dude.

Another Weber.....Stock crossflow = Cast iron turd

Why not a single 3/8 copper line branching into 5/16. I doubt you'll mak enough HP to overcome that setup?

Just piss the EGR off.... the constuble would have to be a real c$%t to pin you for not having one.

OMVL look cheap and nasty by comparison and less reliable i'd reckon. The main difference between the two would be that the IMPCO uses a vacuum reference to the secondary diagphram on the converter while the OML uses a stepper motor for it's metering run off the crank sensor signal.

IMPCO are the best man, good old american shit. With the mixer style setup you'll have less of a flat spot cause the LPG is drawn from closer to the throttle plate.

60+ tyres and some low springs will fix it. These cars don't like being lowered or jacked up excessively because the camber bolt has very little adjustment to compensate for the unequal arm length.

You make it sound easy when really it's not. I've taken sumps off this way in more then several old Ford's and it's a struggle at best, even with a hoist I'd presume.

What do you people reckon about the performance between the BF and AU LPG dedicated models? Helped the old man buy an AU dedicated wagon and I swear this thing has more power then his old BF. Seems to be alot more responsive from a standing start.

Pussies use hoists , on the ground on all fours is the only way to be fucked by a Falcooon

Thats like a stock single pattern XY GT cam, hated it cause it lost too much low end torque to propel my ZB fairlane off idle with 2.92 and single rail.

Rough running for a smaller cam dude. I fucked up my tune on the first clevo i ever built, for a relative stocky with comp I i'd go for a cam between 210-215 duration at .050"

Just got to be a butcher and be prepared to jack the car up by the engine. Afterwards you need to hammer the half moons back into place cause they buckle with the force required

Mother thumpr has no low end torque by the sound of the flat spot when you crack open the throttle.

Point taken dude..... BTW a low km AU LPG dedicated INTECH motor would make a good base Supposedly the 3.9L has the smallest piston cc of any OHC engine so fitted with a high comp head would make it pretty good.
