not really sure what u are asking here mate, i will try to answer ........ I lobbbed a cleveland into a cortina a while back, had to push the firewall back a couple of inches. xa - xc extractors fitted without a drama.even the sump was ok. I can only assume a windsor would go in just as easy if not easier....... does that help ?
Cheers Doc |

A Windsor is much much easier in a TD. And more room for a 'proper' extractor.

02 or a 51 make no difference size wise mate, if u want engineers , i would hazard a guess u would only get a 302 engineered, im doin a capri right now for some stupid reason.......... and the engineer wouldnt allow a 351. if u just wanna take it bangin down the strip, do what u like . If money is a option like it is for most of us, use cast iron manifolds, a decent zorst man will be able to do a system to utilise them without the 1000 bucks cost of a set of custom headers. as for custom mounts, the corry i did, i just weled a plate across the originals and bolted the stock clevo engine plates to. custom nothing. ever since hadfield sold up.................. the new blokes are meh....

if u dont dump it, the diff will hold for a while, it will have to be done eventually tho. a cheap way would be a v8 borg warner out of around xd era. may be a touch wide tho ?? anyone ? . as for brakes, like they say if ya gunna make it go, ya gotta make it stop.

Td Te and XF falcon diffs are the same width and both coil suspension shouldn't be too hard to just swap centres and axles

i would hazard a guess if u do a brake upgrade u will not be able to keep 13" wheels mate. 14" at a push, maybe even require 15". 13s are way off the mark.
