Can u go to an 8 mm bolt? Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Apparently ford stopped casting the second hole to suit the Bf. Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Mate by the time you through all the hassle of getting all the stuff done as ratter said ud be better off in my opinion if your only chasing 400s go with a fg f6 bottom end. Plus depending on your location u have to find a good engine builder. Bionicxr6t helped me source mine for under 3k to my door. But you will still need to go your usual atomic oil pump, hd timing chain and sprocket, New guides and tensioner. And get your head checked by a decent mob and valve springs if you don't have them already. I also went a vrs kit from atomic so u can get the new valve stem seals put in the.head and ull have all your New seals u need. But I did hear that ford aren't making them with the Bf dipstick. Which will make for a pain in the ass due to the sumps being back to front in the fg. But I'd did also hear that some shops have a jig setup to drill the second hole in the fg block to make it suit Bf. Quick side question ratter I didn't think that ford used a sump gasket on there motors only gasket goo... If so do u use a gasket and where abouts you get them from...

Yea my 3 1/2" is the same and is only on reset rear springs 25mm lower then stock... Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Considering the time I took to get it done ie 5 months due to working aye, is say you'd be better of getting the spool rebuild kit with cp pistons and get it put together, but that's assuming your block and crank are still good. Thanks boys, haven't really had a chance to play on the 413 tune the 17s I have on the rear atm just light up quick as. Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Spoke to my tuner about this, he seems to think that it will be better then Bf, but when you say worth it it just depends on how you look at worth? Theres gains to be made by using the fg mani. Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Mods can this be moved to the 400+ kw section plz. Ute got tuned yesterday by Dave Sheehy and made 413rwkw at 19-20 psi.... Definatley fun to drive on 17s lol Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Intercooler??? Where??? that's a polished radiator...

Have u got this down the strip yet bud? Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

My Ute was making 386rwkw with standard mk1 valve springs... Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

If you donate do you get more?

Must have run out of upload memory

Few more pics of the parts that went in and a little bit of the process. Pics of the p/s cooler and gear box coolers I fiitted. Pic of the long motor back together. Pic of the new turbo. oh yea I ended up going a .7 front cover and wet the p/w hot side kit aswell. Modifying the intake was a pain in the rs. I also got the big girl some new shoes to try and help get the power to the ground once its had its final tune. Yes you are reading right... 285s, federal 595s rsr's treadwear 140...lol Well after I think about 5 months but has felt like a life time but as of yesterday its finally running like a dream again. I cant say that I would ever want to go through this again.. So many head aches with just the little stuff. I reckon if I wreck this one (touch wood) it will be just trucked to somewhere to fix it. Im sure I have probably missed stuff but ill post as I rememeber. And ill post some pics and vids of the completed product. Oh and I also got the rocker cover painted up the same colour as the ute... Its a bit hard to see but ill get some more pics tomoro weather pending

Ahh touche, what blend are you going for, or is it more trial and error based on how the engine behaves, noise, oil psi etc? Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Interested to see how the blended oil behaves. Maybe a silly question but if you blend 30 and 50 won't that just give you a 40 or is there something I'm missing. Unless you can't get the desired brand/make of oil in the desired weight? Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

The miner emerges.... 430??? Not even close from what he told me it was puttin close to 600kw or so and that was through a built btr. It only ever seen a dyno once while he had it and that was just to see what it would make the rest of the time it was tu.ed on the track. Head studs and valve springs were the only engine mods. Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Bahaha there's already a club boys its called 'The pin is pulled'. But I had to leave as mine engine decided to go all new and start changing the compression ratio on number one lol. As long as u look after it ie services and so forth I reckon it should hold for a while lol... Ps while= length of a piece of string... Lok Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Bahaha I've just done the same thing. And was running similar hp through Bf1 rods notice the WAS in that sentence... Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Nice work, now just to get it down the strip!!!! Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Mr turbo on the gold coast. Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

I think the core is 1150 and .7 front cover was 220. Roughly haven't got a invoice yet... Lol not bad considering ars in Adelaide wanted 1900 or so for the same thing. Only thing with mark is he sumtimes forgets to ring and let u no Wats goin onSent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

That's ok... Roar to beat them again 2-0 Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Well I've decided to go the same turbo as veva. With the billet 61 mm wheel and .7 a/r. Dave reckons he hasn't tuned a turbo like this before so hes not sure how it will go but I'm hoping it peforms as vevas did and then ill be a happy man....lol

No worries... Cheers yea gettin there slowly hopefully get it all back together next weekend and running... I'm so hanging out to drive it....

Mine made 500 on same rods. And ran comfortably everyday until my fuel filter died. Nice ride to btw interested to see what it makes...
