using 250 xflow in mk

[stokedapollo]

what do i need to get a 250 xflow with auto in mk
or would i be wiser to keep my 5 speed?
not worried bout mounts etc mainly just gear box issues or if i use my 5 speed how do i get transfer case part done etc
can not seem to find much info
cheers guys

[hillbilliywheelchair]

use the falcon 5 speed and a remote transfer im in the middle of useing the falcon auto and a ct25 turbo
then its a matter of just makeing a short shaft

[stokedapollo]

cool i have no idea about the transfer cases etc wen they say remote they mean one that is complety seperate to the box yeah?
and is that joined by a shaft etc
if anyone has links to pics would be good
cheers guys

Benny (Wicked) runs the 250 with auto in his MQ. Pretty sure he's using 60 series transfer behind the auto.

mate u can use 250 with a c4 with a marks auto adapter with a cruiser split case tranny or a 250 with your 5 speed with a marks bell housing the possibility's r endless . pm wicked on here he has a mk with a 250 auto set up .

for the effort and parts involved, why not use a later OHC 4L engine, with a C4 and the rest of that combo.

if you dont want the EFI there are off the shelf manifolds to use a 4 barrel holley, the same company with also modify a 250crossflow dizzy to work in the OHC engine.

more power, more torque, smoother, the list is endless.

[stokedapollo]

it all depends wat i can get my hands on at the time brad but if i can get the stuff easy enough i may go that way
my main prob is finding out how to do the divorced transfer is all
the rest is easy fuel injected or not

[brad-chevlux]

with either engine, if you go auto, you can use a C4,
i'd be spending some time researching what and how people have mounted t'cases behind them.

for a manual, both engines can use the T5 with a divorced t'case.

sorry i can't help with advice on how to get the t'case to fit, just thought i'd throw the OHC engine as an option.

[stokedapollo]

cheers brad
id like a c4 lot stronger lol
i will be researching thats why im askin
its a while off yet but when engine does die i wana be able to do it fast

[chimpboy]

I would rather have a five speed manual than a three speed auto.

C4 is good but it is getting pretty old now.

[stokedapollo]

i liek autos but im only sayin auto because there more common

[brad-chevlux]

i'm pretty sure there is a way to fit a th700 behind the for motor too.

[stokedapollo]

awesome looks like a plan eventually lol

buting a x/flow dissy in a ohc motor is easy its just a matter of drilling one hole in the block (been their on race cars) and lwb mq/k came with devorse transfers standard but not all of them

[WICKED]

Stalkers!!!

I have a ZL Fairlane EFI 250x-flow with a C4 auto. Auto mate's to a 60's Land Crusier T-case via a Marks Adaptor kit. Think mine is the MFK394
Has tube Engine mounts and Tube x-members.
SD33-T Radiator with Twin AU Falcon Thermo's
Air system has changed since the pic (Below) too.
Computer is under the glove box.
I had a modded Air Flow Meter (made a difference) but stuffed that when I rolled in to water.

I Love my Auto!!!

Marks Shifter plate (hi-low lever bracket) is weak as piss and keeps breaking (pics later) and could be made better and is like $120+ every time! I'm gonna make my own soon but every time I've broken it I've not had time to make my own.

If you wanna use a Divorced T-case, MQ/MK would be the cheapest.


There is Room to spare too!

[stokedapollo]

wicked have you got a pic of the shifter plate etc so i know what ya mean
and i may be able to get one made if you can get sizes as i have heaps spare time lol
and hill billy where abouts do you drill etc and what is needed to do the overhead cam so i could run a carby etc like someone said or still keep fuel injected
im looking for easiest option

the crossflow drive gear is different to the OHC one.

[hillbilliywheelchair]

Not yet dude, Tuesday.
It's not just the time, There is like 5 thread holes and the taps needed to make them rang from about 10mm to 24mm. So unless you have a huge range of taps you'd need to buy them and I don't want to think of what a 24mm tap would cost!
