  1. go silver with a blue pearl with orange gt falcon stripes would look phat!!
  2. i did a large one in my chevy powered mk2 corty we cut the tunnel/firewall out droped the motor/ trans in then fabbed new steel in mate has a roller so we could roll it to the right shape
  3. dont know what bell housing i have i picked up a c4 trans and convertor for free all i know is its a v8 one whether its a 351 or 289/302 one i dont know bring it over one day and ill chuck it up against it to see
  4. the six cyl convertor wont do anything to the revs . but with the extra torque of the 8 it might/will turn it into a high stall as normally the convertor and engine are a matched pair using the wrong one can cause probs such as excess heat and heat is what kills trans . do u have an external trans cooler? . talk to ross about it if you cant stretch to a new convertor i have a v8 one u can borrow for a while till i build my c4 dave
  5. yeah thanx boys , yes it was kenny laprou if he ever wants to photo your car bro dont bother do it yaself cause hes shit the pics were shit all from the wrong angle the beast aint no show car but his pics showed every defect in it made it look like a shitta which we both know it isnt. on a lighter note how ya gettin on with your car is it goin with the v8 in it yet?
  6. prolly time i did an update have installed xf falcon stubs/discs/calipers as the 40 year old originals were very dodgy, also got sum new wheels they are 18x8.5 kmc jacks and fives. have also had the column shifter rebuilt as it was worn out and would jump out of park into reverse when idleing. have also fixed and refitted the dicky seat /armrest bewteen the front seats. have also fitted a new chrome air cleaner. 'petrol head' has approached me and wanted to take some pics for an article , i agreed and hopefully they will be in just b4 or just after xmas
  7. yep i do have to agree with u on the point of on gain Vs cost of transplant i was lucky with the v6 transplant i did was dealt off with a very talented engineer for some work on his house so it only cost $400 in total and cert in those days was $300. they do look and sound real fat with a big cam and triple carbs. had a look at a r33 skyline the other day with rb25 with hot cams and triple webber type throttle bodies sounded and looked cool and went good too by all accounts
  8. im glad u think positive like that bro. but just remember that those ultra reliable xu1s were bareley 200hp. having experiance with highly modded holden sixes and such like your 300hp beast will be good fun WHEN its going. triples never stay in tune long and a cam with enough guts to push a 3.3 to 300hp + will be a dog to drive anywhere but a race track. thus was the reason i went to the vn v6 14.2 @ 97mph on a stock motor and trans and 3.08 diff gears starts every time and got 30mpg on trips. throw in a good cam/headers and a remap and 12s coulda been the go. im not dissin ya bro just being practical thats why most torries had v8s put in em
  9. yella terra do a sweet alloy beast too . their gear really makes the old holdanga sixes go hard. was going down the same route as you b4 i fitted entire unit out of a vn.
  10. wat sorta head u usin brah? red style or later blue/black style
  11. it all depends on the engine i had a 3000 stall in the corty and it was mint prolly could have gone to a 4000 most of it depends on cam specs /diff gears etc. ya wouldnt go to a 3-4000 stall on a stocker it would make it a pig to drive but a high comp/ big cam /low diff gears would be happy as with one that loose.
  12. pretty sure 289/302/351w heads all same bro all interchangeable anyway later ones better au falc 80s heads low comp smog heads 60s ones all same
  13. yeah ditto on that but gives u an idea on what they are
  14. castlemaine rod shop does a kit for a capri i think dude they have a pic of a torrie one on the website under the chassis section
  15. youll prolly need some chassis connectors made up these link the front suspension with the rear spring mounts basically just a pice of 50x25 box bolted thru main suspension components tying the front and rear together. its common as in early [LC-LJ] torrie v8 conversions ill try and find sum pics
