    Cheers banarcus,

    I'm just going to finish the collectors which, although part of the kit leave a lot to be desired so I'll cut and shut them enough to make them work and weld the two bolt 2 1/2" flanges on.
    Next, I'll probably make a rectangular section crossmember so I'll have plenty of pan clearance which I might need if I get one of these which are 4 3/4" deep!?....



    after that I'll pull the whole lot out again and pull the trans apart for a going over and an attempt at drilling and tapping the output shaft(which is hardened) for the adapter shaft to bolt on.
    While that's out I'll finish weld the mounts and drill and paint them.
    Btw does anyone know if there's any difference in the coolers inside the radiator tanks? One is for the trans oil and the other for the engine oil. I ask because I want to swap sides.

    Hi bloke, love your work! i think the coolers should be the same internally and if not, as long as you flush them out, swapping shouldn't be an issue!
    Was also wondering if your mate that made your trans adaptor would be interested in making another one? I'm about to put an injected windsor in my rangie and have looked at doing an engine plate and have got a tq727 and tx sitting there out of an early rangie, but wouldn't mind retaining the ford 4 spd auto for obvious reasons. I'm guessing your mate could knock another trans adaptor out fairly easily? If he's interested could you let me know how much coin he would want for such a masterpiece?
    Cheers, Paul.

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks man, glad you like it. I'll ask Tony how much to do the adapter. Would you want the shaft aswell?
    I know the lump of ally was something like $200-300 on it's own.
    If we get enough interest(and there's been a bit) we'll do a casting.

    Cheers,
    Pete.

    Haven't got much done lately because it's been too damn hot! Here's where the headers get to. I've got a piece of 100x50x4 tube and 6mm end plates to make the crossmember which will be below the headers as i said previously.
    Otherwise, I've almost completed the EFI harness and I've got an idea how to mod that BF 6spd shifter to work with a rear cable entry rather than the front side.

    Thanks pete, thats great that there's been some interest! The spud shaft would be handy too, but if its too hard i could get that made here probably... (i know a few people). Look forward to hearing if tony is interested in making the housings though. If its easier for us to swap phone numbers anytime just let me know! otherwise i await your reply! Cheers! Paul.
