d.p.n.s

More than happy to help if o can man

This does make me happy mate.. You have done well to keep this so long and still be going ahead with the ca18det..... bloody champion

Ive adapted a evo 4-9 manifold to the old pinto now and just going the 1 main DBW TB.. The ITB TB actuator i made really struggled down low at just opening or low throttle input while I was playing with it

They can fetch good money... but no one has any at the moment. Ive seen them sell for $4 grand. I bought my car back for $500 .and got paid out insurance..so I bought it back so others could get the parts.. I advertised the motor for $1800 and it sold in less than a minute 😆

Yeah mine was 210000 when ut git written off.. was bloody great to drive. But I know there can be issues.with so much of the stuff on the motor..

Great cars....just have some issues. There's a bunch of vaccume lines on these ..pays to check them all.as they get brittle and crack. The other main issue is the inlet runner control.... I looked at making someone replace this at one point.. but never did it. ... my plan was to sell the st170 motor and buy a stadrd 2.0 zetec and turbo it...

Thats all the normal shit to check. The timing could still be slightly out.. even spark plugs man... mine ran like shit .put a new set in ..ran better ... gapped them perfectly to spec....fixed it.

Ahhhhh Norman the ambulance. (Bit of a read sorry ) The diesel motor and parts get picked up this weekend (I believe).. I hope the guy the bought them gets it all going and it lives for ever.. definitely not the motor for me.. I think I'm just out of my depth with them. So what's the plan for Norman you ask. I was on the hunt for a XD XE XF 4.1 (carb motor ) and trans... And I found a good running low k one in chch for $1500.. But ive had a thought in my head i cant get rid off.. I know any ford motor going in will need a sump reworked or even remade completely and also a re cert. And if I went with the 4.1 i woild still need to find . Everything ..IE radiator, fan,trans cooler, exhaust,find a way of matching auto to factory speedo. Ect ect and its all old. Or I can buy an BA falcon for $1500. And thats where I'm at .. its the original plan Ive allways thought off and use to actually think about it looking at it in bogans shed. So the plan is BA barra and 4 speed auto, the factory parts like rad ,oil cooler , full wiring loom ,fuel box ,all the electric controls and even the dash ,..bring the whole van into the 2000s .. Thats not and easy job and a bigger program planed .. buy I tried the simple and I didn't like it ...infact I told my nephew I feel nothing for it ..no excitement. So Norman is going into storage till my mk3 and nephews mk5 are done.. then ill build Norman while doing my other mk3. That's the plan Cheers

I think I still have some EFI parts left over from bits I bought for the 4.1 in my cortina...(put ITBs on that). But I think 4.1 and keep it carb is the way to go for this old girl

Not sure.. at this point. What ever j get i have to remake a sump so ..im leaning more toward xd e f 4.1

I have wondered if the cf ambulance would be too heavy . Fiberglass body ..but it will have a bed and some basic shit in it.

Was actually thinking supercharged pinto... but probably not enough torque

Thanks mate.. but it won't be hard to do..I'll wait till ive found the motor and auto i end up using

Definitely ford 6 cylinder mate

I can't get the IP to prime and be honest with you mate ...dont really care for it.. I was only really going with the LD28 as its certified for one .. but I thought I could just slap a running LD28 and auto in and go for a wof... But I've allready done more than I wanted too and its still not running .. So I'm not willing to waste anymore of my time on it and just going to do what I should have done in the beginning. I also still have all the spare karts from the 2 motors if you want them.
