Oh and just so you guys know, Sakura Motorsports from Puerto Rico are still the world record holders for the quickest and fastest 4G54/G54B in the world (7.48 @ 176mph).

I had a similar problem with my reconditioned Astron II. But to add to my sorrow, there was mainly coolant in the intake and a little bit of oil. So I thought it was a cracked intake manifold, so I swapped it with a better ported one I had spare and problem still there. So I decided to remove the he...

I have extensively researched this possibility. The Mitsubishi 6G7 series engines fit the Sigma quite easily and you can pick up a donor 2WD manual (or auto if you want) Triton V6 dornor, but they are a bit rare. The Sprint cars did use a 6G72 V6 in South Australia mostly, with a custom intake manif...

Only the 38 Weber off a V6 Ford Capri had the two butterflies that open together. That had two 38mm venturies, versus two 34mm on the 34ADM and one 23mm and one 36mm on the 32/36 Weber.

Re: 32/36 or 34ADM???

Why do people think a 34ADM is bigger than a 32/36? They are the same total size of 34+2=68 and 32+36=68! If you jet them the same, the 32/36 should have better fuel economy with the primary port of 32 (versus the 34) but the same total. Or am I wrong?

Re: EF/XF weber Carby

The XE/XF Falcon carbies ARE genuine Italian-made Webers. I've seen on many online sources that these Webers are happy to run anywhere between 3 and 4psi of fuel pressure. Stock fuel pressure on standard Astron Mikuni carbies is around 6psi according to my factory service manual.
