Title: 253 into FE Post by: Tony FC5859 on January 29, 2001, 01:00:00 PM Hi I'm toying with the idea of putting a 253 and 4 speed into my FE sedan .Does anybody know what the minimum requirement is for a diff for NSW rego( HR, torana etc).Also does it need to have disk brakes or can I stick with big drum brakes. Thanks Tony

I would be surprised if there is a minimum requirement for diffs, but you won't be allowed to keep drum brakes, I can assure you of that. I recommend you ring an engineer (John Varetimidis of Lohning International - they're based in Sydney - would be my choice) to get the low-down on what is and isn't allowed before you start. I also understand a small-block Chev is much easier to fit into an early Holden engine bay than the 253/308 motor, but I haven't done it myself. cheers RET Title: Re: 253 into FE Post by: brad gilbert on January 31, 2001, 01:00:00 PM i have a 5 lt efi in an fc ute. there are various upgrades needed including diff for engineering requirements.you can e/mail me at sixofus.com.au brad
