    Probably after the Bronco was discontinued. Or because Canada?

    I think they built it here in Australia until 1982

    The Bronco died in 96... I've never seen a Cleveland equipped Bronco. The 78-79 big bodies had 351m or the 400m

    The 351c died off in 1974 stateside

    Yeah, that's what I thought, '73 or '74, Clevelands were gone. Ford Australia messed with them up to late '80, '81 or so. Really, the Windsor is the better engine.

    That's very expensive.

    I want to put a six speed in the E32, but to me the CSi screams "put an automatic in me daddy, it should've been an option". Two door land whales are complicated creatures.

    Anyone has Samsung Galaxy S8? How do you like it so far? Last week my EdgeNote died after a couple of software updates that caused some unusual behavior. It started freezing, crashing, and then restarting by itself. So, I'm on the lookout for a new phone. What's good out there?

    Ha. Those times look weird though. No way even I typed all that so fast.

    But still, that's generally true of anyone who jumps on the forum for :20mins and posts in a handful of threads when it's relatively quiet - for a few minutes it's all their updates at top of list.

    I'm keeping the current gearing, so just adding the limited slip carrier.

    I have no desire to mess with the pinion gear right now. If we decide to change the ratio down the road for the new transmission then I will but otherwise- pass.

    Note to self: duct tape does not fix a turbo charge pipe. Even temporarily. I think I went to half boost twice before it blew it apart.
