CHESTNUTXE

picture of the bellhousing area m8,but looks to me just like a normal t5, pre world class are early t5s,easy way to tell 1st gear ratio put it in 1st and turn the shaft by hand ,mark it b4 doing it and 3 1/4 turns is 3.25.1,well thats how i did it with a xg box i put in ryans xe with a 351c and custom bell to suit 6cyl box.

yes yes yhes there is an adaptor made in usa for ford 200 250 mustang to suit the t5z sold by variuos companys like holley and scott drake,also suits slant 6 so check does yours have the adaptor to space it out.

T5Z is the 2.95 1st ,there is a forum on here about this very thing,ea eb1 3.50 1st,eb2 3.25 1st,and later models possibly up to au 3.35 1st,but the v8 t5 comes straight outta the mustang with 2.95 1st ,just give us a picture of the box and serial numbers ect,could be that dellow did have a kit or something,if it is a v8 box they are hard to find,or if its a just a normal t5 well thats ok too.

dean maybe the 250 t5 bell is the same fittment space as the v8 ? just thinking.

the xb with the v8 ratio t5 will work nice with 3.27 ,will not have to worry about putting strain on the box in 1st to get the thing up and going when putting your foot down ,the rest of the 2,3,4,5th are similar to the 6cyl t5,pretty sure the std 6cyl box has 3.25 1st gear,and v8 2.95,still a far cry from 2.46 1st close ratio single rail and top laoder.

sorry edit,did you say a v8 ? it will have a juicy low first gear compard to the 4.0L ONES,2.95 1st i think as to 3.25 or 3.50

it will just be normal t5 to suit eb ed 4.0L,at least its complete

disc and lsd 28 spline is choice,what ratio is it,and looks like a xg diff

double pumper,the other 450 ones are more daily and street driven carbs,i think the model is QHR 450 D/P and looks like a holley d/p but crome or alloy.i remember the dyno guy just changed the squirter to a bit larger one than std.

holy hell i just looked on e bay and a 465 holley is $1400 wtf and a quickfuel is the same i remember i paid about $600 new ,doing up cars now is so costly .

a way too big solid cam 250@50 thou was chozen by the engine builder althou i did tell him i was drag racing and i did run it at willowbank with a 4 speed single rail and 3.45 gears,but ended up putting a smaller tighe solid in it at 214@50 for more street use.i even tried a new 650 d/p holley yeah the 250 can run with it but an over kill on the street,the 450 quickfuel was much better even with the bigger cam,i ended up blowing 10k on that engine and is the only project i ever lost money on,then i found the 1971 400 engine and sold the 250

there is way too much choice now with nok offs and copies of copies,price too now is crazy for a new carby,i went thru this in many engine builds ,see holley knows the most popular carb even thou small cfm the 465 vac is a huge seller in the states,and all around the world as it suits the 289/302 and stock other v8s ,600 650 and 750 have always been cheaper ,even consider a hume performance rebuilt carby i have bought many over the years and they are very good,they even look like new,tell them what you are doing and they can build it for you,or just buy a new 450 quickfuel d/p and be done with it,they have all the latest features built in and are very light,i had one on my 250 and pulled 210 rwhp on the dyno with room for improvement there is a video on here with it.

yup mine is a 89 and has the pivot thing,there is a guy on e bay who does bush kits for c4 column and states will only fit to xb or zg,because something changed in the xc or zh era ,when i come across some pictures i can work it out,but he also sells the kits for c4 xc zh onward to zj zk xd xe so there must be something there to work out,i just figured because i have the xd xe xf black plastic style steering column a v8 c4 linkage should bolt straight in ? the floor shift xf had the adjustable column.

as for extractors,you could use block huggers or 2v clipsters which is a very short header,might work.I also found an aftermarket column c4 shifter kit for rhd aussie falcons,rolan australia sell the cable kit $450 complete with all brackets.

just doing some research incase i want to put a v8 in the xf ute,xc xd xe c4 column shift is slightly different to up to xb c4 column shift,maybe someone can take a picture to see how the thing works.
