Not a problem You obviously made it home ok. Hope all ran smoothly. Craig (whitefc) is lucky he made it to the other side of canberra.  (that was my cut off point) True to my word im off to bargo in a few hrs car trailers on full tank in the 200series his gearbox is shagged. So I rang a heap of mates got a box ready to do a swap tommorow night. Pete |

A big effort got the big girl up and running. rear wheel bearing looked shagged and had taken out the oil seal so lucky i fitted a new bearing press in the shed a few months ago so new wheel bearings and seal, we also put a new non greasy set of pads in her. A huge thanks to my mates for finding a good box from a VQ statesman. we fitted a kit thru it. new ATF swapped convertors lowered the car onto the box with the hoist. When those 2 dowels slide straight into the box you know your gunna have a good run bolted her all up ... Adjusted shifter cable and he was good to go. Learnt a few tricks off Craig. for what started out a bad day for him ended really well..  |

We were another rescue mission for Pete, with Pete fixing the dodgy seatbelt mounts with some new plates and bolts. Had a great night at the pub to follow.

Nice rims Pete (albeit wrong stud pattern) what are the details size etc.Looks like your original caps will fit which I think you mentioned a while ago and you were making some clips.Were they expensive?Love to have another option for the Black Fc but love the original style with caps.Cheers Jamie.

For the ute im running these 17x7 and 17x8 with police centre caps there sorta a bullet shaped cap they are like a big flywheel FC427 told me they are heavy but dammm they are heavy. In our order from the states we had 4 pro stars and 1 rim is equal to 4 pro stars  Stud pattern is ford/HQ whatever that is in yanky land. I would stick with your stockies they look fine as cost my price was 1K delivered 4 rims 2 sets on centre caps baby moon and police caps and dress rims. wheels are under $200 but freights a killer as they weigh so much.. Was hoping to get stuck into the ute this weekend but i had to cut strainers and wood all day for the inlaws. And today im rebuilding dads 43 ford army jeep engine |

Nice little cam you have there Pete.Are the specs on the box for 1.6 rocker ratio or 1.65 that you have on your rollers?Puts you just under 500 thou at 1.65.I couldn't find the rev range specs but should be nice on the street.Cheers,Jamie.

comes alive about 2500-3000 so may need a bigger convertor yet. My mate owns a dyno so it all back on him Will check the rockers when im out the shed i think their 1.65,s should be streetable with the injection. |

Jamie this is from Mark my engine bloke
. The cam specs on the sticker of the cam boss are actually for 1.5 or 1.6 rocker ratio but the website has them for 1.65 On the box it's say .490 lift or something but its actually about .525 odd
Hes dynoing a LH torana tommorow with that cam harrop dual plane manifold stock heads with a 750 carb so will be intresting to see what numbers it makes..
Mine should make more with the come heads and injection...
