Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My mate just picked up a 1979 LTD with a 351 and FMX gearbox and extactors for $800

they are out there but if you don't want the 351 then a 350 would be the next choice

ok my next question then

does the c4 bolt straight up to the crossflow 6 bellhousing

hey everybody

At the moment I am lining up a injected 250 crossflow motor to go into my 40. I would like to put the auto box in it but would have to buy a transfer case and adaptor plate, would it be better to keep the strandard 4 speed and just get a bellhousing etc ????

Any thoughts would be ...

leaning towards the ef 6 now

how strong is the auto in them??

thanks for the suggestens

I am in the procees of rebuilding my FJ40 and want to put a different engine in it

My choices were either a

Injected 250 crossflow
Clevo 351 or 302

But i am now leaning towards a holden v6 as it would use less fuel than the other engines

Also i would like to have an auto behind the engine ...

If you want a performance 250 and if you are in Qld

There is an XE for sale on car sales that has a worked 250 for about $650

Extractors should be your first mod then maybe a bigger carby

hey everyone

Just doing some research for a V8 conversion in my 40 series

My plan is to buy an old ford with a V8 Clevo in it and transfer stuff over
If i was to use the C4 auto what transfer case would I be able to fit up to it???
Also I am on a small budget

cheers

Go the Clevo!

... And ... Dissy up front is where it should be!

If you're gunna put in a 351 crank you'll need rods too, but stck with the 302 heads, They'll already flow as much gas as anything GM came up with until very recently.

For fuel consumption there is very little difference between 302 ...

I thought that it was 36.5 inches???

that hill was nasty !!!

Does anyone have a video of Beebees flop?

Was pretty good i reckon

some good drives and flops

roctoy trying to get out of the gully after they broke a cv was good to watch

didnt stick around long enough but just before i left the ABT buggy broke the rear crownwheel and pinion and tailshaft I think?

I really liked the orange overkill ...

Leaving the sarvo

I've pulled the pin as well. As we were driving out to Denian for the sand our pyro gauge was sitting on almost 600 degrees just cruising on the highway. We tried a whole heap of stuff and couldn't sort it out so rather than damage the engine we've called it a day. :roll: Guess I'll have to come ...

cool updates!!!!

yes they were available in the XE the ESP 351 was the last in the falcon i believe?

But in a Ford magazine it says that they stopped in 1982, But looking around I have noticed a few XE V8's that are 1983's

Hey everybody

I need to know fairly quickly when ford stopped making V8's in the 1980's

I think it was around 82-83 but not sure

the month we be a great help as well

thanks

def be there

Same thing happend in my Uncles BMW

$1500+ to replace flywheel and clutch

Told the guy to change the flywheel and clutch to different types, now if the clutch goes he only has to buy the clutch, not both.

Can find out more info if wanted

Hmm thanks guys you have given me alot to think about

It is a semi floater rear, its a late 75 model (2F and 4 speed)
So i am guessing that it has the fine spline cvs ?

hmm bugger looks they will just become spares now

CHeers!

Hey everybody

I have a set of 40 series axles sitting under my other Fj40 (1975) and thinking of using them in an up coming project.

My question is, are there any differences in the strengh between the 2. I know the 60's are wider but that doesnt bother me for this project ;)

They would be under ...

I had a feeling that the rental's engine wouldnt last long

:rofl:

The mog has ran swampers since day dot me thinks and is still running the same TSL's, I think the weight factor has alot to do with it. Buggies are too light for them to be really effective maybe :?
The TSL's all seemed to do fine on most of the previous buggies to date from Haultech ...
