    What's the deal with my crankshaft?

    Then it's time for a stroker crank

    Xr Tunnel

    I agree it's crazy why . Yes in the early falcons they did . I'm not 100% sure exactly which. Might been pre XP ? Might also been to do with some early 6 cylinders , 144 , 170 etc had a very small bellhousing pattern at the motor side and hence smaller bellhousing. Those I think had the Ford o matic but when they went to the 200 auto went to the BW35 Came across it also when a friend got a U.S Falcon , was a 3 speed manual 6 cylinder. When I built a C4 to go in it with a 302 the tunnel needed work

    Xr Tunnel

    Up to XP i think was the auto + manual tunnels . XR is same as all other Falcons . A T400 fits right in XR as does a C6

    C10 Transmission Rebuild

    About all TCI make that'll work is aluminium pans . Rest is rubbish. P.A components are good , their builds better than TCI but still leave a lot to be desired compared to the cost. A real good one from P.A I've seen inside 2 now . Their Prostreet 750 HP is nothing more than a Transgo shift improver kit in the valvebody . Yes , correct , basic shift improver not even a stage 2 or equivalent kit. Couple extra frictions , a planet and servo. The first I saw I thought was a joke or someone had been in there previous , but no the 2nd was same

    Ford C10 Transmission

    Be sure to get the correct fittings for the case , they are a straight NPS thread , NOT NPT

    C10 Transmission Rebuild

    Stay well away from TCI , They are junk . I've had to repair 4 TCI C6's that guys here have bought. Better to have yours built , then you know what you have Their valvebodies are rubbish, many have a 2-3 flare as a standard feature

    Can I Keep my BTR

    The issue with swapping BTR , up to AU the solenoids earth through the case . BA on the wiring harness is different and all gearbox earths return to ECU Just something to be aware of when you are setting up which computer to use . Harnesses can be swapped although there can be differences where the plug fits the main case
  11. They do make those factory rods as a repro now . They do work well . Thinking out loud , Could maybe make up some rods like caltracs similar to the factory ones that go above the diff .
  12. You can run caltracs with a super pro or Nolathane front bush works ok too.
  13. That clip doesn't hold much . You could bend up a piece of flat steel to do similar

    CLEVELAND ENGINE TALK

    Almost correct .. Spot on for the crank counterweights . The D9 blocks are same deck height, the difference is the bores are a bit longer downwards which in a stroker setup adds a little extra for the piston. Although in theory that is good , in reality it doesn't really make a huge difference

    .060" is fine. A lot go .080"
