anglia4 Posted September 22, 2024 Author Posted September 22, 2024 Its been a rollercoaster! So I thought I would bring you all along for the ride. 1 hour ago, Nominal said: FE > Windsor That's all I'll say. I really don't want to feed an FE though 2 Quote

I really don't want to feed an FE though Mine's a 390 with the 2V economy carb. I haven't worked out the mileage for a long time 1 Quote
igor Posted September 22, 2024 Posted September 22, 2024 Man who sits next to me in the office claims a fairly reliable 25mpg from a 302W powered XD Falcon. 1 Quote
440bbm Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 Jesus, what a journey you guys went through, all for a ford. *runs for cover She looks nice though, and cool shape. Love the squareness and the shape carried over the rear tailights. How long till you get it here in NZ? 1 2 Quote
Nominal Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 It's a journey. Did you know that 289 and 390 are just one key over for each number on the keyboard. Also I dunno why people put those sniper EFI units on, must be good marketing spend by Holley. 1 Quote
anglia4 Posted September 23, 2024 Author Posted September 23, 2024 Yeah one of my mates has one on his F100, it was on it when he brought the truck and its getting pretty close to going in the scrap bin. Quote
440bbm Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 lols yeah, they do have their uses like alot of things, but very limited - stupid you need to cert for them too?! bit like poeple that claim edlebrocks are the best carbies too. again they can have an advantage in a limited application.

anglia4 Posted September 23, 2024 Author Posted September 23, 2024 Yeah my mustang has an Edelbrock on it. By all accounts it was hard to get the tune right, but then it hasn't needed touching again for a decade or so since. Quote
440bbm Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 oh fuck, there was another update and curve ball after i thought it was over. cant handle this kind of disappointment all in 1 thread hhaaha. 1 2 Quote
ThePog Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 Fuckers going to do a George RR Martin and leave us with no last book in this frankly epic story. I bet the TV adaptation will be great up too, right up until the last couple of seasons, where it will lose direction and leave us with a filthy taste in our mouths. 9 Quote
kws Posted September 24, 2024 Posted September 24, 2024 NGL, was rooting for this one when I saw it. Man that brown is gorgeous. And then they ruined it. 1 Quote
anglia4 Posted September 24, 2024 Author Posted September 24, 2024 Yeah I liked the brown paint, but also looked at another the same colour and the brown on brown interior was absolutely disgusting 1 Quote
Thphantum Posted September 25, 2024 Posted September 25, 2024 FE are good lazy horsepower. I think once you drive it you'll keep it. Quote
Spencer Posted October 1, 2024 Posted October 1, 2024 Just came here to say you are insane if you swap out the big block, the 390 is so good. 1 Quote
