Nice one GT
I hate that form of racing!
even tho i love my old ford V8's...
but they are just that OLD!
and they still use them??
and IRS is banned!
so is multiple cam's!
Anyway, Robbo...
Dont worry to much about boring the block, this is only done when the bores are scored, no one does it for a capacity increase, 60thou is about as far as anyone goes, but windsors do have thicker walls, which means you can go further without having pistons go thru them.
I still think you should go down the injected path, the gear is out there, its all bolt on, and its more reliable than a carb. and more tunable if you go for an after market ECU, I know it will cost you a lot more than you want, but hey, you want something good??
As for your W58, it should be ok, providing you dont drop the clutch and treat it harsly.
Also no towing! (ever seen a MA61 towing a caravan?? )
However, going down the Ford V8 path is a wisish one.
you have a huge list of after market parts, especially if you stick with windsor heads, there is about a dozen differnet types of heads you can buy!
Try that on a 5M
You also have a 3" mains! woo!
However your point before about your diff...
ever seen a IRS 9" ??
i havent, and i dont think you will want to give up your IRS.
Be kind to your diff!
