CHESTNUTXE

studs and valve size

he is match porting,he also wants me to buy some extractors,deciding between the pacemaker and big bore aussie speed

the main studs came,i will go down to ol/m8's and see how its coming along.

yep spot on 205/60/14 will look tiny,i just put 215/65/14 on the s pack and it looks awsome

yeah ive read somewhere on here about using the xf dizzy and msd box ? but is it really worth it or can you use that msd box on the std dizzy

i did get lucky once at the local ford dealer,i had a 351c xe and wanted a c2 power steering lid and yup they had 1,all these years later i realize the 5.0L inj one was the same lol.

ok im not sure what you mean but is like total advance locked in at all times ?

so what brand should i get

While buying parts in the last few weeks the response from part places has been like a joke like huh a crossflow we havent had any call for 250 gear for ages,well i dont care im building it and with help from ando and aussie speed i hope to get 300hp in a gutted out xe or xf .

i used the chev 1.6 exhaust ferrea and 2v clevo cut down.

what dizzy is the go with crossy's ,not much on the market,i was gunna get my xe dizzy re bushed and use new dizzy gear to suit cam,also a blaster 2 coil,and get the dizzy tricked up to suit the cam.or just buy a cheap e bay one ?

what lifters,i havent bought any yet

getting a good collection of alloy products

another 6 trend but these are 080 wall still beefy

i was going thru one of wagoons box's he gave me and i found gold check these chunky trend pushrods ,only thing is will they be the correct ones ?

some of clark's alloy products

nice curve on it

the tool as used on the old DJR mill

old m8 has {radiused } the seats or what ever this means i no its as smooth as all hell,took 5 hours to turn all the valaves down and when i asked what size did we end up with in the intakes he told me to go fk myself and laughed.

i think he said he is gunna take 0.025 off the exhaust to 1.575

yup spot on

he has done some port work looks good

nice sound to that engine,i just had these roller rockers i bought some time ago and want to use them up,they are new,ok well maybe a bit more than 6000rpm,will see .i have to buy a cam soon ,ive got my eye on a tighe solid 240 @50thou ,

yeah i have some 7/16 roller rockers ,i asked him to order some arp studs today as well,we are going the 2v clevo intake and he is gunna grind em down,same with the exhaust but not as much i think he said,assembled height is very important he was going on about,after he does the head then we will order some pistons and do milling to get around mid 10 .5.1,as i dont intend on breaking any records,with the compression calcuator i have come up with 5.7cc dish piston,55 odd cc chamber for around 10.3.1 ,or use the flat tops and 060 mls gasket but there is many combo's.
