Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Luckily, mines an auto, so clutch lines arnt an issue. Unfortunatly, the brake and fuel lines will be pretty close, as are most of the electrics. Am thinking of putting a lined heat shield on the rhs fender and covering everything.

do you reckon a set of block hugging headers, say pacemakers for an XD Auto would work?

If you look on the vicroads website and search for 'vass', it will spit out a list of all accredited engineers in victoria. Mine is the one in Mirboo Nth. He seems fairly reasonable. Havent got his details on me atm.

Id rather perservere with the v8 if i can do it, althrough with a change of cam it would make a pretty hot car motor, so the money hasnt been wasted. Im leaving the dellow mounts on fotr the moment, but if they dont last, ill get a front crossmember of a XD, XE falcon and see if i can modify it to ...

Did you use the original gearbox. Auto or manual. What adapter kit did you use? I used the original nissan 4sp auto, but have replaced the valve body, had a custom low stall converter built which bolts up to the cleveland, and fitted a converter lock and a temp guage to it. The adapter kit came ...

Hi. has anyone successfully put a Cleveland V8 into a gq? Has it passed through engineering? How did you get past clearance problems with the oil pump on the front axle, and the starter motor on the front drive shaft? The only way I can see around it is with a lift kit, but the engineer in my area ...

well, the adapted bell housing should be here by wendsday. The mav converter is a lot smaller then the ford, so i have redrilled the flexplate, and will shim it to suit. if the mav converter doesnt handle the aimed for 600nm of torque, ill look at getting one made to suit. As for stall speeds, the ...

CRUSHU Posted: Thu May 03, 2007 7:32 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will be getting a convertor made anyhow, so it doesn't matter. FWIW the ford convertor is usually around 11". Why? if the mav TQ fits in the housing, wouldnt it be easier to ...

Hi. I am building a 351C to put in my 1990 Mav auto, and i want to use the nissan 4sp box. I need to sort out what flex plate im using to get the motor balenced, but no-one i have spoken to can tell me whether the maverick tourqe converter will actually fit within the bellhousing bolt pattern for ...

There weren't any Boss motors sold here at all....

Actually, a Boss 302 (windsor with clevo heads) was sold in the XT GT, and the XW GTHO Phase 1 motor was called the Boss 351.

why do the longer rods allow more revs? the stroke will still be 3.5".

i remember reading on here somewhere about a valve body replacement for the patrol box that has been tested for 620 hp. That, a temp guage, and a coverter lock was $1000 if memory serves. wouldnt that negate the need for rebuilding the box?

1 - if you want torque, go the 351. if you want revs, go the 302. I used to race an XD with a fully blue-printed 302 that had 400 hp and had an insane redline, so you dont need 351 for power, its all up to where you want it. 2- Ford USA sold a 351 and 302 Windsor with modified (for water jacket line ...

having just bought a rather tired '90 maverick, am having thoughts about dropping a 351 clevo into it. problem is, i want to keep the auto, and i cannot find anyone to supply an adapter for this setup. does anyone know about this conversion?
