Is that the one that looks like it's based on a commodore wagon?

hi ive got three fc utes and there all the same as you described but maybe not quite as much as 3/4 of an inch

Hi folks, wondering if anyone knows who sells chrome breather caps for the tappet covers. The ones i'm after are what i call the full ones not the ones with the cut off mouth if you know what i mean

Alan's car was the original reason i got hooked on FC's. I can remember as a 14 year old buying a pile of mags just to get articles on Alan's and Ric Martins FC's and still have them all today, probably 30 to 35 years later. His car always had that "something special" in my book even though i have never seen it in real life. The pictures he posted of it a while back  were a real treat for me to see someone who could hang onto their "toy" and keep it looking that good shows his attachment. My regards go to his family and thanks for the memories Alan

You could try your uni joints.

So did you win or lose?

Do what you have to Ret I'm with Graham on this one, all your time and effort is really appreciated

Brilliant outlook, never ever give up your dreams!!!!!!!!!!!!

My personal opinion is its not waggott engineering, i can remember reading an article in an old sports car world mag i think it was that broke down the initials and waggott wasnt there but im stuffed if i can find the article again.

Dont know how that one got past me, in my own back yard so to speak. Haven''t even seen it on the road here the closest looking one was in a ford dealers here but it looked a little more orange than this one. Great find!

Not too dirty with a jzed head on it though!  Is that Joe's fed fc427.

what about the alloy sideplate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let us know how you get on.

Agree with Ace on this one but also before you do that make yourself another little tool. First get an old spark plug and brake all the porcelain off it leaving you with the threaded portion that screws into the head next get a male air line fitting and solder or braze the fitting into the top of the remaining spark plug.Then just get both valves closed, best at the bottom of the power stroke, screw it into the cylinder you want to change the seals on and hook up the air. be careful though if the piston isnt at bottom dead centre when you hook up the air it will probably turn the engine over a little. doing it this way there's no pulling manifolds or heads off because the air is holding both valves up and a lot less trouble. Hope it helps

That "32"? ute is amazing!!!!!!!!!

Hi follks can someone tell me why an air cooled blower would be worth the dollars. I know its a"norman'' but being air cooled, surely its not a street blower as the heat from any decent type of boost would really do some damage. Just asking?

If you like that you should check out ""Harko"s build from a couple of years back!

Just look on ebay now, theres one that doesnt seem to bad for a starting point and only 6k to buy it now! My two bobs worth is you'll find what your looking for just put in a little effort and then when you least expect it one will turn up just down the road or around the corner. happy hunting

Then i'd start looking in the carb  probably around the power valve circuit for a bit of dirt floating around.

Hi before you pay good money for a  dyno tune how about doing a quick compression test and make sure theres no busted head gasket or worse. Hope it helps
