F60S - 351Windsor

[Ganmain Tony]

Gday Casey, I met you at Corowa that year and you told me you were working on this after the engine failure.

The 351 looks pretty cool I must say... there are a few blokes who should be able to help you with that bit.

Your not going to have much trouble getting away at the lights. There's going to be some surprised V8 ute drivers looking for a drag...

What box are you running behind it? C4?

Bring on pictures, video, anything!!!

G'day Tony,

I remember the weekend it blew up you were suggesting a reco side valve. I originally wanted to restore a Blitz with a Windsor and when I bought Grant's F60S it was too good to mess with. However when the engine self destructed, once I could allocate the cash my decision was made.

After a heap of research, it was an easy choice. I'm running a 5 speed gearbox out of a 1991 Ford F250, a ZF S5-42. The first 4 gear ratios are almost identical to the original crash box, with an overdrive gear @ 0.76 to 1 for 5th. I'll still have the rock crawling ability and hopefully a quieter, more fuel efficient drive on the freeway too. I've calculated 2,200 revs at 80km/h in top gear. Whilst I enjoyed the crash box, the synchro gears will go OK too!

I've taken heaps of photos during the build, I'd hoped to be at this years Corowa, however didn't make it. I'll definitely be ready for next years.
