CHESTNUTXE

cause i have always chucked the crossy in the bin to fit the clevo in my cars over the years but i find it interesting that so many different heads and cc sizes and combo's on the crossy,im bored with clevo's ive had heaps of em over the last 20 years,im gunna build the crossy out of the xe and put it into a drag car only,thats why im interested,i have to spend $20,000 on a clevo to be competitive ,but with the crossy i can save thousands and clown around with it,to me its just something to keep occupied in the garage,and now there is quite a bit of stuff to bolt on these motors now so im learning as much as possible.

what brand of cam is it ?

i will call it the cross boss

yeah i have seen these ,quite cheap !,hhmmmm eerrr, maybe ? imagine 2 of these on a crossy LOL

just about finished ,its a real challenge when you start with just a block and have to buy every nut and bolt and the correct brackets and air-con bits,but its almost ready for fittment just need a carby ,still deciding what to run ,more than likely just a 600 vac ,because i just cruise in this car ,its to good to thrash,it has air and steer.

I am running a early style square bore 73da manifold .

no the motor is fully built just going thru the pic,s here,fully rebuilt 2v open,s suit unleaded ,springs to suit cam,std rockers.

Rollmaster double chain,cam is mild .486lift ,speedpro pistons 030

Resized rod's ,arp bolt's ,arp oil drive,melling's oil pump.

yup looks beefy too,030 rebore,new cam bearing's,honed ect.10thou under on 4ma crank

yes you learn a hard lesson when cam failure occur's,my last engine ate the cam in 8000km's probly from incorrect pre-load and poor quality brand cam,and installing inner springs from 1st start .ooouuuch !

ok there is plenty at the wreckers i will grab another one,but its only behind a stock crossy at the moment

yeah i tried that before in a post i wrote ,the diff shop said make sure your pressures are identical in a tight LSD unit ???? but i think its the tailshaft so i will rotate it .

i might try to rotate it 180 deg as said before,because this tailshaft was not in my car originaly.

could a small dent in my alloy EB tailshaft cause any vibration ? or unbalance cause the vibration demon has come back to haunt me but its only at around 30kph then dissapear's ?

theres a 5.7 in the precision catlledog

im pretty sure i will go for 5.7 dish from precision ,the e2 head or 48cc to 50cc and zero deck will give easy 11'5'1. pump 98 will be fine ,everytime someone throw's there 2 cents worth in i grab the compression calcuator and yup it's fun !

some really crazy sounding engine's

I was on you tube last night and these crazy spanish or mexicans were into these ols falcons from the 60.s putting highly worked i6's in em check this motor i took a pic of its probly a 200 0r 250 pre crossy

im not sure what my xe has, it's a 82 leaded one.

i have several heads here to play with,e1,e2,and the xe one,and then pistons to suit when i decide a combo.

what sought of fuel would this crazy crossy suit meth or e85 or maybe something else,this is not a daily,just a drag engine

what comp ratio will E85 handle up to ?

or use flat top.s ,by the compression calcuator if you take away cc's the comp rise's

To get to around 13:1:1 = a 40cc head,10cc dish,0 deck,30thou bore,will a head cop that much of a shave ?.
