Hey all, So I’m based here in Australia. Was told carpet was in stock so removed and disposed of old. Treated the whole floor area just as precaution while no carpet. Now told no carpet from the states until mid March 😭 He does have in stock Mach 1 fast back carpet but not sure if it fits my...

Hey guys, I’m running a 351c with an ice ignition system. All runs sweet BUT when we connect the after market tacho it’s upsetting my tune. Trying to find an accessible and constant action from the ignition for the tacho power. Any suggestions please? Cheers

Hey all, Maybe a silly question but does anyone make/supply a set of front coilovers for our 73 models? Cheers Jase

Hey guys, Been told now that I need a better mechanical fuel pump for my 351 Cleveland. The obvious option from what I gather is the Robbmc 550. Is there a happy medium between a bog stock pump and these awsum Robbmc ones. It’s just in Australia these pumps are over $600 Engine is only...

Hey guys, just curious more than no anything else. Does this tag identify my diff in some way? Was attached to one of the bolts on the housing Cheers Jase

Ok so just replacing my diff with a trutrack unit. Just removing the axles. One side came out fine but the “spinner” side has popped out with the bearing. Does this mean now I’ll have to disconnect brake lines to remove the whole drum brake with the axle and then remove the bearing off the axle...

Hey all, my 73 was originally a 6 cyl but now running a 351. I’ve upgraded the front brakes to discs. Now want to install a 9” What measurements am I needing to check to confirm for example if this Australian ford falcon one will fit?

Ok feeling a bit stupid here but here goes. So fitted new front disc brakes to replace the drums. All went fine. Then fitted new master cylinder the other day and then today I fitted new brake lines between Proportioning valve and master cylinder. All seemingly gone ok. Then I hear a noise as...

Hey guys, I bit the bullet and replaced the front drums with a LEEDS front disc convertion kit from Summit. All went great and nice and easy to swap out. So just also installed a new master cylinder to suit. Question, do I need to bleed the master cylinder on a bench first then install it and...

Hey guys, looking for some guidance. So engine is a fresh build 351c Engine builder says “never happened to him before and not sure why it’s happened” I went to replace my valve covers last night and 6/16 oil deflection plates I think they are called are broken. I have all the broken bits. My...

Hey guys, Finally doing it. Time to get rid of the front drum brakes. Looking at the easiest switch to fit disc fronts. Is the kit from Leeds the best/easiest option? Cost is just a killer to get them over to me in Australia. $500 aud postage but no other decent kit options available so I may...

Ok so car is coming along well. Running nicely now. Only issue I’ve got that I’m trying to sort is a knock or rattle noise seemingly coming from the front suspension on the left hand corner. On a nice road there is no issue but when on a bumpy road it is a constant noise on every little bump...

Ok so I’m getting absolutely no where on this car 😭 Is there a way to short out a couple wires to try get it to crank. A gentleman mentioned short out main + on battery and S terminal on starter solenoid. I assume that’s correct? Even doing that I’m getting zippo action but everything meters...

Hey guys, Need some help please. So fresh build, all being running good since all the little issues were sorted. Until today. I went to start it, reds came on and it went to kick over very briefly (split second) then nothing. No reds, no anything. Power to the fuse box under dash is ok, fuses...

I’m thinking this is going to be one of those “not the smartest”‘questions. I’ve just installed new upper and lower control arms. All went well enough. Greased the fittings etc. on the lower control arms on both sides when I pump with grease I don’t get any into the rubber boot. This normal? Is...

Hey all, ok so have the new Cleveland 351 installed and running well now. Full new exhaust system. Unfortunately the Hooker 4-1 headers sit WAY too low. Just seeing what others may suggest. I’m being told Tri Y headers may be the better option? Ignore the leak on the ground, all fixed 😉 Cheers...

Hey guys, Looking for some help. I have a 73 model that was originally a 6 cyl but now runs an 8 which it was imported to here in Australia with. Car has 4 wheel drums but I’m looking at best option of fitting discs to front? Cheers Jase

Well it’s been a long process but we finally had some wins. New 351c went in and unfortunately we had issues with terrible vibration through y to be car. It was literally undrivable. We had it in one shop where the guy had nfi what he was doing and charged me plenty to do nothing. Finally got...

So update for those who may be interested. I fitted a fresh built 351 Cleveland to my 73 and unfortunately when taking off from a stop position there is a shocking shutter through the car. So transmission removed today and stall converter removed. Ran the engine and confirmed it’s balanced and...

Hey guys, Looking to pick some brains. It’s been a little challenging but new engine is in and very close to being happy with it. So she is certainly no animal but about 350hp at the engine. Only issue now is when accelerating from a stop position it’s got serious vibration through the...
