Title: Firewall mods for webers/EFI Post by: uppo44 on March 07, 2010, 08:36:47 PM Hi
I have been building a new motor for my HB Torana but now i'm eyeing off the FC for a transplant. My new motor has a J-Zed alloy head with EFI on a triple weber manifold. The throttle bodies are similar to webers 52mm. I have been looking all over this site trying to get a good picture or description of the firewall mods required. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Paul Title: Re: Firewall mods for webers/EFI Post by: FC427 on March 07, 2010, 09:04:20 PM Paul don't think anyone runs a Jz head on an FE FC ???well not yet at least ::) the location of the manifolds on one of Joe's heads is different from a 9 or 12 port Holden head that some members run with Webers ...I know that the head with Webers will fit in an EH engine bay with only a little modifying to the firewall as Joe's cousin had a head and Webers on his EH think you may have to fit it up to see exactly what is required ...I am sure someone will have a shot of the engine bay with a set of Webers as a starting point ........FC427.......

The dellortos fitted no problem but my manifold is a Lynx manifold with the outer two carburettors offset toward the centre of the motor. some Weber /Dellorto manifolds sit the caburettors centre of there inlet ports which would cause the rear carburettor to sit further to the rear of the motor requiring greater set back of the firewall around the rear carb and linkages
hope this helps Simon Addison Title: Re: Firewall mods for webers/EFI Post by: uppo44 on March 08, 2010, 09:54:24 PM Any chance of a photo of your mods?
Cheers Paul Title: Re: Firewall mods for webers/EFI Post by: simins on March 10, 2010, 09:53:49 PM sorry i am a computer spastic photos are a little bit hard for me at the moment . but if your coming to the nationals your welcome to take some yourself. with a red motor sitting in the engine bay it really is a very easy job to measure the required recess you need to cut and weld . meanwhile ill try and work on my computer skills and see if i cant work how to upload photos
all the best Simon Addison Title: Re: Firewall mods for webers/EFI Post by: GOA350 on March 11, 2010, 03:00:57 PM Simon, if i can do it, anyone can. Even videos
