  1. Ford falcon-early 60's to 70 model Ford,believe the Mustang was built on it's chassis.Basically smaller version of the Galaxies and 500"s. Not a bad car,and actually underrated for drag cars for the person with the money.Basically the size of the Chevy II or Nova of the age.

    We still have them here but they've evolved a little :)http://www.ford.com.au/servlet/ContentServer?cid=1137385392410&pagename=FOA%2FDFYPage%2FDefault1024&c=DFYPage

  2. one word is YES if your keen, and why do it because you can :D there is guy around here that has lifted a couple of vortexs and they look great as well as turning heads (people going what the f#% is that????) they were rare here anyway. i'm hoping my brother will sell me his cheap one day and i can do it :) and just a bit of trivia for you the only sold 249 SVX's here in australia total so they are a bit rare, but i'd still lift it

  3. Could you imagine using four low in a turbo! That would be just nutty up hill climbs.

     

    Yes it makes for lots of torque with the low range and the extra power of the turbo but the only downside is the reliability of the gearset i have a friend with a turbo EJ20 wagon with a dual range box and he has just rebuilt for the 3rd time as many months second gear has failed twice :( but hes getting better at fixing it :) i also have a EJ20T in a 92 liberty sedan with a dual range now, it used to be an auto but i got sick of fixing it. the auto that is. but i expect i'll have to play with the manual eventually as they just dont last as long as the proper turbo manual boxes. But thems the breaks

  4. Actually their from Venezuala (SP), i've been in contact with a Subaru dealership down there and I am still trying to get some idea of a price. The best part is they are going to be for right hand drive cars. The cars in Australia are left hand drive so your shifting would be completely backwards. I have been talking with people from both countries, so the AU tranny might still be an option although I don't know how many people would like the reversed shifting pattern.

     

    We may use our left hand to change gears but we sit in the right hand side of the cars to drive = Right hand drive? and if you do a bit more research you'll find the change patern is the same as yours.I'm fairly certain the 5mt dual range for EJ22 is a final drive of 3.9 btw, well this is what mine has.
