Maddington Head Factory & Engine Exchange

Street car speciallsts. Racing & HI-Performance. FORD & HOLDEN.

Guy seems to know what he is doing. They had a 1000HP TORANA but removed the engine and put it into a BOAT!!! ohmy.gif

He also has a DYNO but it has just been put in not long ago so the dyno guys are still seting it up.

Nope... Ive now decided that the Tickford motor is going to be the project biggrin.gif

Today i went in and talked to Jim about bombing out the XR6 motor. Ive now decided that the XR6 motor will be BOOSTED. So the rebuild is stock standard... But i might put a bigger cam in just for the time being untill i drop the XR6 motor in with the TURBO on. smile.gif
