Hi Rod
     I'm thinking that they won't fit, because of the different subframe etc. but it also depends on where your motor is positioned and what you can modify etc.
     I do have an older stile of crs headers that you can have for $350, never used. Can't fit them to mine because I've moved the motor back 2''.
     If your interested, email me with phone no. & best time and I'll give you a call.
       POP.

  G'day guys, a bit more
     Thanks to everyone for looking and your replies. To start... thank you Seb. Wayne b yes & yes to your questions. Jim, they are the the first ones that I looked at, but after blowing up the image to full size and laying it on my dash, plus no warning lights, they wher'nt for me. That's when I went hunting, as above.
      So this is what I came up with from Classic Insturments.  Hot Rod Series gauges.
      4 5/8 combo Speedtachular HR50SLF + extra KPH, with turn, high beam + extra LEDHTH, plus speedo sending unit extra SN16C
    The other 2 1/8 gauges are full sweep and have built in warning lights, that light the gauge red when somethings wrong. Plus senders
      Fuel HR109SLF ( programmable)
      WaterTemp HR126SLF
      Oil HR181SLF
      Volts HR130SLF
    With all upgrades, plus red pointers, burgundy ring and postage.......sit down,   $2500.00
    But with all the new Customs Import Duties, US Dollar etc. & not have a cluttered dash, I'm Happy.
    There is a standard kit without all the bells & whistles HR65SLF approx $1350.00
     
      Thanks again guys, any other questions or info, would be glad to help if I can.
       Regards  POP.
   

     

  hi guys,
    would like to give ya's an update,
      After talking to Dak/dig they asked me send my dash pannel and they mite be able to do somthing.....usa sorry, and arrogant.
      Autometer wasn't as bad, they have an online customshop, which is great, for sorting out the look, colors, pointers, bezels, font, etc.
      problem was that they couldn't change the speedo size, even though they advertise it else where. After emails etc, please try again.....
      Plus they could not add warning lights, turn signals or high beam which means more clutter and wiring, more $$$ etc.
      So...After months of brain drain, Classic Instruments have all the above, nearly, just trying to change the dial face colors at the moment.
      And Yes..There going to cost a hell of a lot. But compered to rest of the build it will be worth it.
     
      Thanks for everyone looken, but this mite help someone else.
               Cheers POP.
     

 Hi guys, I'm searching around for a set of digital analog gauges, and set that l like are Dakota digital analog 57 Chev VHX series.
    The problem is that there advertise the diameter of the speedo gauge as 6.25in and l think, just to big for me for the fc dash.
     I've also looked at classic instruments, there gauge is 4 5/8in but l don't like the face set up, Auto-meter has a 3 3/8 speedo,
     but the face is to small for what l want, and yes, l do realize that bezels are different sizes, and l can spin my own.

     What I'm trying to find is....and l know it's probably impossible, without custom order,.... $$$$

      1.4 5/8 to 5'' with half sweep speedo at top, with tacho & fuel at the bottom, and a gear selector etc. readout in the middle
          with warring lights.
      2. 2 1/16 oil gauge plus a 2 1/16 temp gauge

     So my questions are.....

      1. Has anyone used this dakota digital 57 set up or any other gauges from them, if so, how'd they fit? Any problems?
      2. Actual gauge sizes & cut out without bezel
      3. What other digital analog gauges are everyone else using?
      4. Any other idea's and pic's would be greatly appreciated, and I'm really trying hard to  keep a bit of originality

          In advance, thanks to every ones comments........pop.


         

    just an idea. how bout, control arms? brackets welded on top of diff housing, brackets welded to subframe...strenghtened, arm inbetween.   

Not sure, but l had prob's with my 2wd hilux, so extended left to right,  have to leave clearance for sump bolts. Than run the right hand exhaust between the motor & box. Just an idea, hope it helps.

Thanks Greg, will check it out...pop

Hi everyone, I have a modified waggon, stored at the moment, till i finish tha shed. The only thing that's missing is the dash surround. Does anyone repo them? If not does anyone have a spare that they are willing to part with? Have been looken on evbay, swap meets etc. but no luck. Hope someone can help................pop.

G,day.....love it, love it, love it. My first car was a "C" like yours, same green up front, but a white on top and rear. Had been stored for 10 years before I got my licence, 7's up front & 8's on the rear. So low that you couldn't drive over a match box standing on it's end. the old man worked at repco back then, so you can guess what happened. At the moment I have a modified fc station sedan & my grand pops fb ute. Spotted the sun visor, hope your going to keep it. More  pic's and updates please because I'm sure I,m not the only one that's in love...Rubber & low to go, go, go.......POP.

   Thanks for the great info FB_MAD, your right fchoon & FC427, thats kind of what I'm thinken, but just don't know about the different blocks & cranks. I'd like to have about 400 to 450hp. Haven't got any bits as of yet, just resourcing so as i don't wast money. Plan is so far is 302, [hard] to 327LJ, stroked, performer heads, roller rockers, bout 1/2 to 3/4 cam depending on performance & sound  and a really good balance, coupled up to a th350, 2 stage shift & about a 2200 stall converter, depending on cam. A lot of people say start  with the heads, flow etc. than build your block [ bottom end ] to suit, but i recken you've got to have the right block to start with. Thanks again guys for the input. If any, would like to here any more suggestions

 great job. nice to see & great pics..

  Hi guys. was just wounderen if a 4 bolt 350 crank will fit into a 327.  We have a station sedan fitted already with a 186 trimatic, hr  disc front, LSD & hadfield chassis kit but need a few more ponies. Also anyone with any yeehs or naahs about creat motors. Thanks for any replies in advance...........pop. 

Hi Nick....Years ago, we tryed lots of differant combinations, close to what r/spares offer now.Back then [i'm 55]  Waggott was the pick of tha bunch for a grey motor. I ran an fc van and a sedan with motors from mild to wild, great days, but for what you want for now I would suggest, 25/65 cam, 10tho off the head, double valve springs, & if you have excess to a die grinder, just smooth out the exhaust & inlet ports, tunned lenght extractors, [to extract rather than bigger valves], tunned twins & a good balance. This combo was reliable, with go, the 30/70's never semed to last, but every one wanted one, a littel to much on the bottem end. A lot more has  happend over tha  years so why not give waggott a call. Hope this helps a bit...................POP
