Oly Posted Monday at 05:17 AM Share Posted Monday at 05:17 AM G'day y'all getting my 84 SWB 4x4 back on the road after destroying the planetary gears in the transfer case, had the rig about 6 years and replacing everything slowly, on the 3rd 250 crossflow motor in it, after I blew the first one it came with up, after I found the previous owner left a push rod in the sump and destroyed a piston and cylinder wall the beer runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted Monday at 10:04 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:04 AM G'day, Oly! Glad you joined. 250 crossflow? We didn't get that one here. Tell us more about it? And where in Western Australia are you? We have a map, which you can see at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu, but don't have anyone else in WA. However, you can be on it if you'd like - just give us the city or postal code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted Monday at 02:19 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:19 PM Welcome Oly! That's mighty impressive. If a keg of beer weighs the same as it does here in the States you have almost 875 kilos in a short bed! 😳 We never did get the cross flow or the Cleveland engines here in the US, but other than right hand drive the chassis and body are much the same. Edit: I miscounted, there are 14 not 12 kegs of beer. 🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think what a 300 crossflow would have been like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good party! 🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viven44 Posted Monday at 05:06 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:06 PM Here in the States they're 160# a piece..... so like 75 kilos. That's a good party! 🥴 Probably headed to a Rugby or Cricket match!! Welcome I counted 14 at first but there are 15. I counted the first 7 and just assumed there should be twice that... there is another sneaky Keg there.

Hey Gazza, I got the motor off a guy who built it up for a Ford Cortina race car, it's a 4.1L with a solid cam and roller rockers.

That's like asking someone in San Fran if they have seen a car in West Virginia haha, plenty of awesome cars here in West Oz though, mining $$$ On 9/17/2024 at 1:06 AM, viven44 said: Probably headed to a Rugby or Cricket match!!

I'm in the port town of Fremantle near Perth Western Australia You are now on the map. As for the racing Cortinas, I've seen a lot of video showing them to be very competitive.
