XD falcon 250 crossflow (but use a 6cyl cortina sump)

if you really wanted you could use the XD 5 speed too, and use a remote MQ transfer case

The 1975 4.0 would have plenty of go with appropriate mods.

However, if it's dead I would go a Falcon 6 with 5 speed or a early V8 and appropriate gearbox.

Can you run a 351? :D

apparently the 2.8 out of a GU is a good fit in these things, and are $0.10cents a dozen

huh bogged? GU 2.8 is a t-d isn't it, unless you mean the 2.8s out of the MQs, which are certainly the opposite of a dime a dozen... just ask dromana...

looking for big power cheaply basicly the only thing is it needs to be a carby and naturly ass.

the racing we are doing is a jimkhana rally type. but the tracks are all different. for instence one of our tracks is a 100m mud pit. the cars are only allowed to be 2 wheel drive aswell
