    Thankx guys biggrin.gif
    Gee, I reckon a 2J would be off tap! My 302 is getting a blower VERY soon, so that will help the power output dept. tongue.gif

    Stay away from the ford crap and put a chev in it already. 350 would go nicely.

    It's very rare to see one of these still with the original engine, is there any reason for this?.

    Shit or what?

    OT: very nice mate, a set of convo pro's would give it a tough stance.. more pics when blown 302 conversion is complete.

    The reason for the Windsor is - ANY Chev engine (including Holden) offsets the universal joints AND differential several degrees due to offsetting the engine to fit....................... The Windsor is MINIMAL offset - hence the reason for blowing uni's and diffs in Chev powered Jag's.......
    The original V12 was a fuel injected v12 - even 1976. They were very hard to keep up to tune and even if you did.......................... I would rather pay V8 rego than V12. PLUS the Windsor is around 150 kilo's lighter than the original V12 and hence the reason for custom lowered suspension - to get the correct ride height.
    It is SOOOO smooth and quiet with the Windsor, you wouldn't realise it is NOT the standard engine. It's really a matter of taste - I would certainly prefer a 350 Chev in a 260Z than a 289.......... but that is only a basis of comparison to what you or I have seen or done previously. Thanks for the feed back guys, really appreciate it smile.gif
