Had a bit of a run with a bloke at work who has a manual Gen3 SS commodore(VT i think?) his car very slowly pulls away upto high 3rd gear speed, where i noticed i had a vibration start in the tailshaft(NOT AGAIN,) so i cruised home along the highway and there was no vibration, took it to the...

economy seems to average 12 litres per 100km no matter what, did 500km the last tank with suburban driving and still used 60 litres, unfortuanly petrol being about $1.50 a litre it is not cheap to run. so Lpg will happpen sooner or later. Here is a pic of how it is at the moment, not much...

cool, being in Vic also(Geelong) i'd love to hear more about it. like cost especially? i have all the bits for mine exept a Gas research throttle body though. so might be easier to do that? B2 converter i already have. still like the duel fuel setup though

thats quick, what was the 60' time?

thats pretty impressive, makes me want to open mine? that site is very common in Ford Falcon 6cyl motors that get oil top ups in stead of oil changes. My old ute used to go through 1 litre of oil a week i used to feed it second hand oil so with 300,000kms it would have looked similar inside.

again Brillient work, i love this conversion. seems so right and practical. thanks for the update.

is that the temp controller sideshow sells? any info on it? i need to replace a packed up davies craig one i was using. My EL falcon radiator has no issue with cooling, but i neet something to turn the fans on and off automatically. thanks Dean

sorry to hear about the injury, good to know its still happening slowly with the project.

WooHoo, thats great. love to see some Video footage of it if you can manage? what a beast, V8 manual Van.

Cool, good to see it is out and about. what is the current diff ratio and what was the 60' time? also what was the Mph on that 14.2 run? so you will next time have the powerglide and 9" from your experience, what time will you be expecting? have you driven the car much since it was finished...

hope thats not the fan controller type that sideshow is selling? think i will go for one of them, if you dont have the sports dash with tacho its a good opportunity to get one.(will need tacho set for 4cyl) what revs is it doing at 100kmh? if you do have a tacho?

Gday, can you tell me a bit more about it? how much is it? where does it get the temp reading from? i currently have a davies craig controller in the top hose at radieator that doesnt seem to be working properly. thanks Dean

Wow that is Brillient, i Know the feeling of relief and Joy you must feel. will be good to hear of your driving experience with it. My best fuel economy over the 900km i have done is 12Litres per 100km. that is sitting on 2400rpm @ 100kmh 95% highway driving.

cool, does it doo 100kmh in 1st? whats your opinion on performance?

cool i'd love to see the whole thing going back together. it would be great especially with all that bling, i spose the trouble with polishing one part is it would look out of place unless the whole lot was done. so i imagine it will be unbelievable

Hi Elliot, have you got a thread started for polished parts, i think it would be great. i have seen a Power steer pump on here(assume its yours?) anyway, if you have the time i'd love to see what else is polished on your motor. thanks Dean

mine has started doing similar, i have not worked out a pattern yet, but i dont have a speed signal to the computer, i am using a manual gearbox. i thought it might be temp related? seems if it idles for a while it does eventually settle down. i was considering changing the thermostat, any...

Wow, looks great so its going to be manual gearbox?

yeah i know the feeling, i have only done about 500kms in mine so far, need to find some time to finish it and engineer. that tailshaft looks a bit scary? very long and not so strong by the looks? the wheels make it look very clean. not something you'd expect to have a lexus motor in...

check your diff ratio, if its stock and 2.92, it is too high. you will notice its more gutless without the exhaust too. when mine had 2.92 diff it did over 100kmh in1st gear. acceleration was similar to a not bad XF untill 2500rpm when it really gets going. i found 3.45 diff to be a good...
