Yes. Deals all through my old man and his mate. Frankly everytime I mention it ol boy sweeps it under the carpet. I am really torn but new motor has same power, easier to get parts for, and I know them like the back of my hand

Sohc Falcon 6? Barra?

[RUNAMUCK]

Barra would be best bang for buck. Worth fuck all, and hard to kill. Pop the slugs out, file the ring gaps a bit bigger, and stick a bottle on it.

[MACKAZ]

Bigfoot said it. SOHC 4.0l blow through carb turbo

If you're wanting to run Dizzy, you can use the XF Dizzy, you need to flip the drive gear upside down however..

Ooh why not buy this manifold also;

 

[MACKAZ]

We've never had any luck with XF dissys in stockcars. I'm going to try find an XD 2 wire. I'm gonna cut n shut curly manifold, just because it looks as rough as possible. I'll have to Google what cfm the Holley is, I'm picking its a 600, but I'll soon find out.

I can pick it up in september when I to go pick up my car

[CUL8R]

If you were really committed, you could run the SNZ ignition? I think in the last car It was $750, easy enough to wire up yourself, uses stock AU and Crank Angle Sensor too?

Wasn't aware 250 Crossflow bolts up? 

[MACKAZ]

Probably the best option, but this old timer don't do computerisation

I'm sure that between me, @rb drifter and @ruff kunt automotive we can make it go

[MACKAZ]

I'm going to rip all the useless shit off tomorrow night, put it on marketplace. I also need to move 4.0l, push Buick out, pull holden out, put 4.0l up front of shed, push Buick in and put holden at door end and get that heap sold, along with all my Holden and Valiant shit. Gonna get busy real quick

Have put the feelers out for a distributor for ya pal. Cant wait to see this beast cruising the streets 

[CUL8R]

Ah whoop, sorry XF and EA/EB etc inlets are fine to use

[MACKAZ]

Looking for 2 wire XD dissy, flywheel and maybe an EA vee belt front pulley setup

There's a guy I know down here with a Falcon clutch and pressure plate - he may have a flywheel too?

Was running Falcon, but converted to HQ box

Edit *He's sold now sorry*

[MACKAZ]

Yep. Had a EL in my one. Plenty of life after 6000rpm, something a 3.8 hasn't got
