XC Fairmont 4.1 crossflow Cheap power upgrade ??
EscarpadeTEAMTURTLE posted a topic in 6 Cylinder Tech
Hi , we are looking at upgrading the power of our XC Fairmont wagon - it has the 4.1 straight 6 with cast iron head. We are looking into the cost of changing head possibly to alloy from later model- DOES any one know which would bolt up? Also we will be changing the carby to a holly 2 barrel 350 and running extractors with a larger exhaust. Our aim is to use this vehicle for the 2014 camp quality escarpade , so basically we need more torque to run bigger tyres and needs to stay cheap ( within budget). any other ideas/ Help would be much appreciated.- 23 replies

Thanks ando76 sounds like a good idea, If i go to do i would say the motor will come out and we will do properly - needs to be reliable also as trip next year will be around 4000k in middle of no where I will try and price up some of these parts see if i can squeeze into budget. I haven't dialled in a cam before as used to working on OHC vehicles but had a quick read and all sounds pretty straight forward. Would it be worth worrying about bottom end? Thanks for the help.- 23 replies
