carbonboy Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) And again I know this will not amount to anything, but I have just because I can. This was done over 6 months or so, with an hour here and an hour there, I was in no hurry. You may ask why and my answer is “because I can”. I love your attitude! :yes: Your thread's fantastic reading, keep up the awesome work! :y: I got to the first photos of the head & quad throttle bodies (remembered turbo plan) & nearly wet myself! Was also oblivious to the actual engine until then :blush: Edited May 16, 2011 by carbonboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_FNQ_rolla_ Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Well the old bomb will be on the road for another 4 weeks until It comes off the road for the new motor. Edited May 21, 2011 by _FNQ_rolla_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_FNQ_rolla_ Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 On the weekend a mate gave me a set of crystal headlights which he bought for his XT Falcon, but he did not like the look of them (saying they spoilt the look of the Falcon) and said there yours if you want. Here is a picture of his Falcon. Well needless to say the old bomb now has a new set of headlights (now I can see at night). Here is a picture of my new headlights. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_FNQ_rolla_ Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Started working on my engine mounts on the weekend. I started with a length of 40mm ID seamless pipe with 3mm wall thickness. I also found that a Landcruiser rear leaf spring bush fitted the pipe nicely. I then cut the pipe to a length of 75mm on the lathe and a little of the bush so it would all fit together nicely. Will bolt it all together with a couple of high tensile 10.9 grade bolts. Landcruiser rear bush Start of the engine mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
