straughsberry Donating Members 1,846 Member For: 17y 8m 20d Gender: Male Location: Broady, Melbourne Posted 18/08/10 11:38 AM Author Share Posted 18/08/10 11:38 AM (edited) Car went in to RVO Automatics today to get the 4l65e conversion on the go.I'll be needing a new shifter and at the moment, I'm keen on the B&M Console Quicksilver. Only downside is it doesn't come in a RHD version so the gear indicator is on the wrong side. Having a look-see for shifters recently, I must say there's stuff all out there as far as modern aftermarket 4 speed shifters is concerned.Also, got a look at the head on Friday. New valve seats on inlet and some extra porting to take advantage of the 2mm larger valve. Frank has also welded extra material around exhaust ports to take the 50mm OD manifold which has a fairly large head plate. Looking good Edited 18/08/10 11:43 AM by straughsberry Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/55789-the-build-has-begun/page/24/#findComment-1033602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also purchased various Atomic parts including vernier cam gears, oil pump, flex plate, head gasket, timing chain and crank sprocket.Looks like early next year for the engine assembly.
