Hi Rus, if your running an in tank hi pres pump you only need a filter before the fuel rail, the good thing about an in tank hp pump is the lack of need for a surge tank etc, it makes the system so much simpler to plumb. cheers John

Well I reckon it was the best two hrs I've ever spent in a long time, brought back many memories of Ardmore and the Pukekohe for the Gran Prix, and watching the beach races a Murawai,, but what I didn't know was how close he came to partnering up with Sir Jack, but what he achieved in 12 short...

Looking great ben a real credit to you. cheers John

Hi Darrell yep its a Speedmaster set, seems to be ok, at least the butterfly shafts are bearinged and sealed not like the OBX stuff. they do lack an idle air bleed so disregard the sentence that says they have one as they don't, or if they do i'm buggered if I can find it, but for a race engine...

Hi Rod 75-90 synthetic for the trans. Managed to get the mufflers fitted today, cant wait to fire it up again and see what it sounds like now with the twin system. cheers John

Well its definitely on the down hill run to the finish now, mounted the trans pump and the catch can for the breather and got that plumbed, one -6an hose from the trans, 1 -8 an hose to the RH rocker cover and a -8an return line to the top of the dry sump tank, hopefully that will keep the...

No your spot on the money Jim get a wheel first and work from there, ive done it backwards before, and ran into all sorts of bother because even though its a 15" rim doesn't mean poop, it all depend where the bell opens up from on the inner section, as to what size rotor combo your going to fit...

Hi Leon yep there made in Sydney for the speedway guys, I only found out about them by a fluke accident. cheers John

Hi Jack the wheels are made down here in Aus in Sydney, 3 piece alloy with a billet cnc'd center and very reasonably priced, and bloody light too for a 4mm barrel. Leon yeah considering I bought them blind I reckon I hit the jack pot, I really had my heart set on the pin drives but it wasn't...

X Mass time at Kaspa's shed, look what Santa bought me today, 3 piece alloy wheels with a nice billet center, 15, x 16 with an 8" back space So I had to run down the road and get my tyres on, after driving around the coast for ages trying to find some one who could handle a 16" wide rim...

hi Russ, I wish is was that simple, but there just a tad to long by almost 120mm, so I have to bite the bullet and get some made, but all's good I have it under control and at a reasonable price too thank god. cheers john

Trans mount all done, Falcon mount is fixed to a 4mm plate that bolts to the bottom of the trans with 4 bolts, then there is 2 x 3/8 bolts through the mounting plate welded to the bottom of the frame, I will weld on a couple of vertical stiffeners tomorrow when I get some more material...

Spent the morning making up a rear trans mount, 1 XD falcon mount and a couple of plates and its done , and it all fits dead center of the extension out the back of the chassis the toe links connect to, so very happy will take a pick tomorrow when its all together cheers John

Hey mate yeah its been a bit of a journey, but looking at it this arvo [ with a huge grin on me mush] I reckon its been worth it, ill post another pick next week when I put the new rear wheels on.

the big day at last, first up was bolt the bell housing to the tranny, a small mod was need in the way of a smidge ground off one rib on the side plate to clear the starter and all good. then came the big job, and if you've ever fitted a road ranger to a truck youll know exactly what it was...

Hi Mate yep its a 525hp LS3 but would have approx. 500ft lbs of torque for a gearbox rated at 300 ft lbs, they will take it, but they like lotsa maintenance. cheers John

Mmm A 525 through a DG300 is a bit optimistic , you obviously don't mind pulling it apart after every meeting. other wise all I can say is Wow. cheers John
