  1. There is a lot of talk about using a LPG motor with boost (like on Carnage). But I haven't seen much on running an LPG motor NA on petrol. Since the green tops are higher compression I imagine they would make decent power on petrol with a tune, extractors and a good cold air intake. I'm assuming someone has done this in the past. Could you point me to a thread for more info. Cheers
  2. Thanks for the heads up. You wouldn't happen to know what rims these are, would you?
  3. What rims are these? I love the way these look. I just purchased a 2007 Ute, I live in the US and have to wait 4 months until I even get to sit in it. I want to start getting parts for it now.
  4. Thanks mate. This sump is for a customer I just sold a Barra to. After looking at the final location of the sump plug, I think I will put the sump plug a little lower on the next pan I modify. It looks like approximately 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch of oil will not drain all the way. Not a big deal, maybe a few ounces of oil, but it annoys me lol.
  5. The motor is in position supported only by the motor mounts. Unfortunately I had to notch the oil pan to clear the k-member. The motor clears the sock hood BARELY. I had to notch the oil pan and space the k-member down 1 inch to make it fit under the stock hood, but it was worth it.
  6. The "Final Product" the quotation marks are because these are only used to make a jig. The final product will all be TIG welded and and much prettier, so don't judge these welds too harshly.
  7. It's been a while since I have had time to work on this project. Life keeps getting in the way. Here is the progress I have made this past week. I made an engine leveling plate that attaches to the front of the motor put of some scrap steel I had lying around the shop, and I used simple chains for the back side of the motor. Once I had the motor centered between the frame rails, leveled left to right and tilted enough to clear the bellhousing, all that was left was to make the motor mounts. I know Tuff Mounts makes Mustang Barra motor mounts, but I have a welder, CNC plasma table and way more spare time than I have spare money, so I made them myself. I am also one of only a small handful of Barra importers in the country right now, so offering my own motor mounts is just good business.
  8. NO! In that case, give back the Coyote, 5.4 DOHC, Windsor, Cleveland and the LS. We share with you, and you have had the Barra for 17 years, its only fair you share it with us now.
  9. I am over here in America doing a Barra conversion on a Foxbody Mustang. I plan on using a BF motor with an FG loom and a ZF6 transmission. Can someone please give me a link to a walk through on how to convert a loom to standalone. I have done several google searches and the only thing that comes up is someone trying to sell me a loom that has already been modified. I will be importing these motors regularly and knowing how to modify the loom will make it even easier for me to bring the Barra to America. Thank you in advance.
  10. Thank! I would probably be closer if I actually had some content lmao. I have a bunch of footage of the LS El Camino build I'm working on. So unfortunately my first build on the channel is going to be that and not the Barra Foxbody Mustang. I just found a decent quality free video editing software. So I'll have my first real video up in the next day or so. All in good fun of course.
  11. Big news everyone! I finally have all the equipment necessary to start building my YouTube channel. I have already started filming on one of my projects. I'm in the process of editing the footage I have and will have episode 1 of the 1987 El Camino 6.0 LS swap. I'll have some footage showing me modifying the Barra oil pan for my Foxbody. Subscribe to my channel. Once I have 100+ subscribers I can get a custom URL that will be a lot easier to find. Obviously I am just starting this, so plese bear with me and hopefully my channel will grow fast with good quality car content. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpMeSVPUMtmAOTwFGpSUAJQ?view_as=subscriber&fbclid=IwAR3Gr6Psc2i4sL2aZQ7WnARrnRe4wvLtZU12HPSIaKYN7nsaT3CUCvRjhEM
