CHESTNUTXE

It's possible it was on early xd's before the intro of the alloy head or the s pack ? or like one of those N.S.W. things only,like emissions.

i remember as a young teenager keen on ford models at the time the GLS badge was on many xd's but i havent seen one for ages,just thought i would bring it up.

I think your right but i still remember the earlyer models in xd-e

Guy's i need 1 x mudflap in ok condition for my ute passenger side,thanks.

i have a set here out of a early xa 302

i mean the old clevo nylon timing gear that the chain go's on.

The plastic gear ?

sic

Xg has the same frame as xf,but different swaybar to fit the 4.0

I have the chance to pick up one of these tickford heads 94dt,by these pictures can anyone tell if its any good ?

ok thanks for that,and when this head is put on a au engine it nets 10.3.1 is that correct.

Thom how much more compression would this tickford head make on my xg engine ? is it worth it ? or are they the same just better exhaust ports.

I would probly just grab it anyway if its an ef crank,i could still use it in another build,another question,if the EF-EL head is so much better than the au why did ford not keep it ?

well i suppose i could check,i will take the sump off,but i remember the car it came out of ,not sure but think its a EL ,i will check on thursday,

ok cheers thom,i found another tickford head at the wreckers im gunna get it as a start,then a cheap au motor.

I dont no ? but what would be a fair price for it,i was thinking $100 with the rocker cover.

comes with the rocker cover too.

ok so if i wanted to put a decent 4.0L together to fit into my xg,i should start with a series 2 or 3 au bottom end,a xr-6 T head ,modify the alloy sump,change to the serpentine belt,keep my ea style cam,but what about the sway-bar will the au fit or more mods needed ?

so what is the mod you need to do to the sump of a ba-bf angine,and k frame to fit in a xg ? i see heaps of them lately in xf's and others.

ok if i just wanted to put a nice set of extractors and raise comp a bit and stay n/a in my engine would this head be ok to re-co,surley its gunna be better than my std head or is it not worth the effort.

ok i found many engines 2 with the T head ,1 x 95aa head,1 x au 2 head,and a few others,one of the tickford head engines looked like a ef or el engine and the one in the picture looked like a au engine maybe.

ok i see,its a ghia wagon,i thought you said that engine had a good block for oil restrictions

Thom is there any markings or numbers for this early xr6 head ? im going down the wreckers today for a sus out on 4.0L gear,also there is a late EL wagon there if i find this wr2xxxx engine is that worth getting for the block ?

To put the au head on my engine to lower the comp,what head should i be looking for ,like what model just the basic falcon one ? and do i need to keep the au cam and rockers.

ok i see these are all the things i wish to learn i have many engines at my disposal at the local wreckers ed,el,au ect and even a old but new ea carby engine or single point motor complete ,is this worth getting for any bit's ?
