Thanks for all ya help, keep pumpin them out.. yeah thows strut bars on the firewall place a problem. but iam only looking for fixing the car.. and i only want a replacment or "170 or 221 " something like that for all the running costs as well keepin it LOW just my day to day cruiser car... just want it to look very nice...

I got a 250 2V donk, also i am sure i have a 4 speed BG, or maybe its a auto BG, not sure, will look if you want, i also trim to suit, as in chrome strips etc, from front to back, for a XM, presume not much changed between XL/M.

sounds like the go to me.....auto would probly be better for a daily cuizer neway

YEAH ID LIKE TO HEAR MORE... WHERE AND HOW FAR AWAY ARE YOU AS IN LOCATION IAM FROM MELBOURNE..... THANKS

yeh the engine bay on these things is far from massive. You shouldnt have too many problems fitting a 302 windsor V8 but once you step up to the 351 windsor i believe the cylinder walls are longer to account for a larger stroke. any how, this is an extrememly tight fit and ive only seen it on 1 other similar vehicle, and the amount of heart ache attached to it is not really worth it.

personally i would go about fitting an injected 5.0 windsor. They are plentiful and pretty cheap. You can run them on a standard ecu for a budject conversion, this will give you great fuel economy and a very healthy power increase without sacrificing around town cruising. Plus, its a V8!!!

hope this helps....

Just had a thought (first one for the day) make sure she's wide enough, the 2v intake hangs out a fair bit and watch for bonnet clearance if you need an adapter for a holley.This is in me xa..
