Hi all,
Thought id put up a thread on my ongoing build of my corty lol, I know shes not an x-series but she has the same heart and i havent seen a corty area
So i bought her in 09 off a guy named Mike that had driven it over from Vic and couldnt afford to take it back with him. She was stock as a rock and immaculate and for which i paid the measly sum of $700.






Ok so i decided to build a strong xflow for it as everyone has a v8 corty these days lol. Engine was Alloy headed with crow solid cam, 11.1cr, Acl 200 rodded pistons attached to ef 4ltr crank, heaps of head work and all the fruit. Backed by a t5 with mustang ext housing and standard diff with 3.7 gears and spool. All this was good for 262.5rwhp.





Anyways all that power going through the T5 and standard diff caused heaps of dramas and at powercruise 2010 i went in for the burnouts on the sat night and rooted my diff. I then decided to do some more work to the head and start again on the driveline. Well when i pulled down the engine i found that she didnt like hitting 7500rpm in the burnout and number 6 piston had mad contact with the exhaust valve and bent the rod.
So since then its been a long journey redoing the engine and changing things like the cam to an even bigger solid cam along with all extreme springs to hold the pressure and porting to the max lol. Also have the new driveline to bolt in. She wont make powercruise this year but will be @ quit in november, which she was always made to do. Heres a list of new specs and how she sits ATM.

That sounds awesome!
I've always wanted to build a tough 6cyl Corty as a sleeper, $700 for that is a bargain!
Get some more vids up

Ok so after a long road getting there she is almost complete. Only have to clean up under the bonnet, install my new diff and brake upgrade when they get here and then lower and put on the new rims and she will be pretty much done for now...
All tuned and surpassed my power estimates with the new auto and stall...
