Would you be interested in a mint condition XC pano (9" already fitted) ?

My cousin inherited one and she wants to sell it. It's currently near Toowoomba but they're going to keep it in Brissy after this weekend...

Pics are there, we're going to wash it and take some proper ones this weekend hopefully. Used to be a 5.slow but apparently a '51 was fitted in the early 90s - any tips on telling them apart? It's in beautiful condition, I couldn't find any rust at all, it's been garaged it's whole life apart from about the last 6 months or so.

ah yes, i know the pano, they were on xfalcon a while ago trying to work out value or something.

in all honesty i think itl be too rich for me. but flick me a price, you never know.

only way to tell if its a 302 or 351 is to whip the sump off and see whats stamped into the crank, or do a capacity check by ...

There are numerous threads around where people are asking how to find out if the V8 they have is a 302 or a 351. So i thought I'd throw up a guide with some photos to help.

I did this on the floor... With the engine still in the car it maybe harder... You might need a shorter measuring device.

1) Grab your block.. pull out all the spark plugs (i did this so i could turn the motor over easily by hand)

2) Place dipstick (or other measuring device) down the hole and turn over until the motor is at TDC (Top Dead Center).
This may take a couple of turns to make sure that the motor is at top. You can usually see this because the dipstick stops coming up and will hover slightly.

3) Use a permanent marker to mark the dipstick.

4) Put dipstick back in and turn motor until its at BDC (Bottom Dead Center)

5) Mark the point with a Marker.

6) Get out a tape and measure the distance between the lines.
3 Inches or 76mm = 302 Cleveland
3.5 Inches or 89mm = 351 Cleveland
