Hi all

My work ute is a bit of a odd ball Im running a 250 with ct26 turbo truck intercooler haltect ,fe ltd dash seats powerwindows ect basically a concoction of what ever parts I had at work .
Works ok 5psi by 1400rpm but all over by 3500rpm but boy does it tow well.

lol welcome mate

We have a 1987 XF wagon, metallic gold, 4.1 auto. Basically bog standard.
Might be getting a manual conversion if I can be bothered. It is basically just a shopping wagon.

My brother has an XY ute, totally scruffy old bomb but he loves it to bits.
200 low compression from a 1976 Transit six, 3 speed with a Speco floor change, and drims all round although he has a set of XF discs and stub axles which are about to go on it.

Our family van is a 1969 Transit bus, which used to be a V4 but had already been converted rather roughly when we got it to a 200 from a Cortina with a 3 speed floor shift about a foot behind the driver's seat and the motor between the front seats. It also had a Falcon 3.50 diff
We fitted XY discs with HQ HOlden calipers up front, got a wrecked factory six with the longnose and moved the motor forwards and used the factory six gearshift. After it ate the second old 200 and its 7th 3 speed gearbox ( it kept eating reverse) we stuck an XE 4.1 and a single rail out of an XF in it. The single rail had d**k selectors so we put another one in it, and the engine swallowed a piece of the carb and mashed No.6 piston and the head so we stuck what we think is an XB engine in it that we dragged out of a dog kennel where it had lain for 3 years, changed the oil, plugs, dissy cap, and rotor arm and it ran perfectly. It pulls like a train but it could do with a bit more power, a lot more economy, a 5 speed gearbox, power steering (arm acher at the moment) and rack +pinion steering to make it handle better.
Future plans include IFS, either modified HQ or custom built, either a 4 link a*** end with discs or ideally ( but pricey) a BA sedan IRS under it, and possibly an OHC engine. It is also probably getting a complete XF S-Pack dash, which will make the interior a nicer place to be.

XD interceptor. Only just got it so mods haven't started yet, but the base for power is there. Already got goodise like oil cooler and tramp rods, as well as a custom interior (combination of XD-E-F as well as ESP).

Just new myself. My ride is an XC Fairmont GXL.

387 Stroker custom pistons. Standard bores with file back rings.
Redline single plain intake with a two inch spacer and 650 holley.
Heads are 2 V with 4 V valves and large hydraulic cam.

Auto is a C10 2500 stall stage 2 shift kit and B&M shifter and thick wall tail shaft.

Diff is nine inch disc brake with 4.11.1 for the strip and 2.5.1 for the
street.

Its best time so far is 12.04 @ 114 with i hope more to come.

Estimated hp is about 400+ at the rear.

Hope you like it.
