Too right Hanno - sorry I didn't put the photo up! Mike you're right - it is the smaller bell housing. My brother and I picked up a 170 (the Pursuit170!) motor on Saturday to rebuild. The old 144 that came with the jeep had been bored out so much the cylinders were outside the block. (well...). You're right about the earlier, smaller motors fitting the bell housing and Gordon opted to go more or less with a smaller motor - but a 170 is a better thing than a 144. I didn't know about the Gladiator gear in the Falcon ute - I've always liked the Gladiator - growing up with Daktari did it for me . But I've heard they have an abominable turning circle... (I have a C60X so I know about these things...)

Default Warren

Just a punt Warren, but you may do better contacting Ford Motor Company. They are pretty good when it comes to records.

VIN numbers and engine numbers will help the process of course.

The 200ci 'Super pursuit' would make her go like a scalded cat

Tony - I'm with you - but I'm a mere GMC straight six owner - not a flat-head Ford V8 owner. (but there's always room yet!) I'll talk to my brother and see what he thinks - and pass on your unmitigated enthusiasm to make the Combat 6 go like ....'whatever' off a shovel. Here's to blue and white!
