- Thread starter 63 Sprint
- Start date
Hey Darren
I am about to do a big parts sale before the end of the year.
Let me know what I can do to assist.
Cheers
Andrew,

Will do rocklord, I am doing a stock take atm.
I will post it up in my section when its done.

antique: 250 2V iron head (XY or model 2.4, from Oct ’70)...
Not me (possibly others - my income is listed in this country as “extreme poverty”)
the 3.3, XC 1976 intro of x-flow...
Not sure but 'a mass buy’ here might include several palitized together for partial savings. A
local vendor might help but it is not my place to require ur choice of business model. Good Luck !
Thanks for the info!

The Vintage Inlines cylinder head is an alloy version of the Australian 250 2V head with updated intake ports for increased flow.
“...and not something exotic,..."
they’re all exotic now (lack of old Oz XY, X-C)
current Venezualla, VI, Argi
(the last: 6 cyl?, 6 speed? 6Gs?:

yeah, they rev well past ours.
Whats the design difference there?
no crank counter balancers?
~L O N G itudinal engines~
not sure Y they dont like the i6 in today’s st cars.
Volvo put 1 in, may B as they’re all mini cars? Want
to have FWD/transaxle up frnt/behind that axel? I think
the really sm car could have rear engine/frnt transmis or
transaxel w/the weight (me!) to have a ‘well blanced’ car...

That is exciting news. Well outside the budget I have for my car (I have another Mustang that still needs to be assembled, painted, etc, and that ain't gonna be cheap), but I'm really happy that these parts will finally be available again for people who want and have the budget for them.
Seems like he's got quite the waiting list, and even if some of them back out, I don't think he'll have a problem selling the first run of these.

or 2nd... or 3rd...
I’d like to congratulate him! for 2nd use of onshore merican foundry.
/AND/
I guess
1) a separate co who machines to tolerance,
2) may B a 3rd that “assemblies” w/valves, keepers, springs, etc.
3) They may B the ones who’ll P&P to your request (I C he offers that)?
4) Only one carb pad available (a 4 hole for 4v)?
After 1) above I wonder if a buyer can take the head and complete - ina different way
i.e. as in our “Ideal build thread” - beehive or double springs, different valve/geometry, etc?
Would one wish to get it before 1) above is done?

read the fine print...?
I think he’s gota explanation for that
(see "cyl head pre-orders’ & RSS feed, ur VI posts in-box)
that is more than surface meaning.
Not buyin (but AM ‘interested’) so not lookin real close~
@ 1 point I saw “i honor all the pre-orders (last several yrs?) 1st"
but also “U must ‘re-up’..." in other cases. My thought?
To ‘get on’ it will take several yrs if starting now~
“...says “Out Of Stock”. Did they sell out that quickly?..."
‘sell out’ can mean several things w/a (backlog) list this long

I missed that.

Love ta C a cast, like the modern motors,
or welded alu plate (esp w/the wings and baffle U mention).
Can U say more? on the “...modified oil pans...” you mentioned above?

Hi guys. I read through this post and it's hard to say there was anything not true!
Chad - thanks for your unwavering support!
I have 50 new castings and machining starts soon. He has to finish his first op fixture.
I can order more castings whenever I need to, I just want to get this first run under my belt.
I took orders from the original list before I opened it up on the website Friday, but I sold the number I needed to in 45 minutes!

That is fantastic news Matt! I saw that the orders were all accounted for quickly but I didn't realize it was within 45 minutes. Not bad for the little 6 banger. At some time in the future, I'll be on the order list. I'll echo what @clochard68 said above:
