Thank you, it's been a long journey! 

If you can get the entire fg driveline there won't be any issues. We found that the gearbox/engine spacer was slightly different between models (starter cut out). I'm not sure on the specifics but it was trimmed to get it to fit (I ended up using a fg starter as well as mine was on it's way out). You will need to use the bseries gearbox mount/cross member. I'm fairly sure that was about it. I'm using the fg slave cylinder and gear stick until I can figure out how to re-attach my t56 stick and surround.

I took the ute to a dyno day the other week and as old mate was about to start the run he called out to me to ask where the button was to turn off traction control. I told him it was a 13yr old ba ute and they never came out with traction control haha.

Yeah im getting TR6060 ( tailshaft, clutch, flywheel, gearbox and  pedal assembly ) all FG

and then chasing the block! CMS will be looking after it all once I get the parts.

Running 296rw atm on stock ba block and 4sp lol boring as funk andconly had it a few weeks on that tune well ive only owned to car 3 months and it was stock... got all the bolt on work done...just driveline and block to finish off and hopefully see 400+

It took me a week tofigure out the no traction control... though im very happy 99% of the time.... rain on hills at traffic lights can be annoying in peak traffic though.. more so for other road users lol

You're in capable hands down at CMS. I used to visit the ford wreckers down at Narellan every other wknd, I found they were priced well and always had good stuff.

Are you using a stock fg clutch with the kit?I'd recommend getting CMS to install a good clutch while you're putting it together for the first time, I've found out the hard way a lot by not doing it right the first time.

Mate, hill starts in the rain is ridiculous. Especially if it hasn't rained for a while and the roads are extra slippery. As soon as the clutch is let out (the old one was stiff as and just bit, couldn't slip it) I'd be crabbing up the road doing 1000rpm. Everyone behind me must have thought I was an absolute wanker

So I've got myself a new 1000hp twin plate NPC clutch to go in next week along with a tr6060! I got the two at a good price and couldn't say no.
 

 

Cerametallic plates Trent0?

[Trent0]

Button rear and organic front plate I think mate.

The family got me a set of MT ET Radials for my birthday  used once, still have nipples on the tread. They're on a pair of advanti 17x9 inch rims, not sure on offset but will put them on tomorrow. Providing weather is good I'll give them a try on the wknd at QR for torque time. Hopefully these will stop me from getting munched by the autos!

it's the time taken (and subsequent boost loss) for gearshifts, not traction, that's the determining factor between manual and auto straight-line racing
