Peever

plenty of forums and what not to read through and find the perfect mods to start of with.. I believe there is actually a forum that recommends first mods... have a read there is plenty of useful info on here

wow really? im with Just Car, Im 22 on a rating 2 paying $2280.. hoping to see a good drop going to rating 1 in August if all goes well.. Iv alos got all my mods listed but that's quite a list.. only thing I dont like is they value my car at $26,000... gonna give them a call and try to get that up a bit though...

why cant I find that atomic long in classfieds??? Im looking at buying atomic over next few days..

okay update with how im tracking... car went in and took 3-4 weeks for them to get back to me.. as I knew the engine was down the sh*tter, the heads not to much damage and can be fixed the oil pump is still good and obviously the sump is rooted... later that day called atomic.. $7,900 for the 698 Short + $150 for a new sump + $336 for delivery to Townsville.. havent put the order in yet but will probably be going ahead with it on Monday... thoughts? good points the internals was only thing holding me back from 500+rwkw so will hopefully see that mark with the 698 short...

Hey Dave, I actually just got off the phone to those guys in your link. My car goes in on Monday.. Fingers crossed the head is good.. If it is it will be a FG F6 short going in if head is buggered.. back to the drawing board to think of my next step... possibly buy the F6 short still and get a head through Atomic.. or buy the BF MK II engine off ebay and a rebuild kit from Atomic and get all that fitted...

Hmm Im able to get a FG F6 short from where I am (Townsville) for $4076.70 so is this a bit steep? also they require a BF sump dont they? If my heads are fine they will go straight onto the short engine? If my heads are buggered whats my best next step? Sorry about all the questions guys.. Im currently trying to find a decent mechanic up here but seem most of them are full on for the next few months and cant help out to much...

Also in reference to getting a short engine.. as I havent had the engine stripped down yet.. even though it was blown the heads could still be good?? is this correct or will they deff be buggered?

In reference to getting a FG F6 short Iv called ford and they don't give out FPV parts unless you have one is there anyway to get around that??

The sump has pretty much disappeared... and the block has a hole on each side the engine will be taken out over the next week or so...

sweet as.. im not very mechanical minded hence why I wanted to make sure... think Imma go for this one on ebay.. been looking for a few months and not much has come up..

yes its the one on ebay.. =) It looks like a pretty good buy... thanks for the help.. can anyone shed some light on the manifold wiring? If Im correct that shouldnt be an issue??
