 Posted: Sat Dec 25, 2004 12:11 am Post subject: Eighties model Fairlanes - what grunt? |
 |
|
| I was chasing a Fairlane today which was chasing a biker and I was gaining on him too. It was one of the Fairlanes that went with either the XD or XE in the early eighties. I was then starting to wonder what that range had under the bonnet, whether it was a 302 or a 351. I'm under the impression that 302's were the go for those models, is that correct? |

| I think they came with both... but mostly were with the 351... or it could've been the other way around, but i think mostly 351.... come to think of it i don't recall seeing a 302..... |

most ZJ Fairlane's were fitted with 250xflow's & 302c's
the option up on that model 351c with leather seats . electric windows / mirrors and Glass sunroof and lowered suspension ........
But the FC LTD was a fitted with the 351 with all options > above < with the addition of Electric seats and sports dash ..

Not to mention that i did have a ZJ with all the options ! Ex-Government Limo i found out it was ....

ZJ and ZK were 250, 302 or 351. Due to the recovering fuel crisis most were 250 or 302. All were 3 speed autos. None had 9" diffs.
Today everyone fits 351 to them. They're heavy and need the power move.
All ZL's has 250 with 3 speeds. |

| Okay so the Fairlanes were quite heavy ( as usual I suppose ) so what was their weight? |
