Re: Project T5 360.

To get the inlet manifold facing the correct way for rwd applications you can use the manifold from the newer generation of ford/Volvo derived turbo t5 engines and make an adaptor flange to mount a throttle body of your choice depending on what management you intend to use.

Re: Performance parts cat

Received all those mounts and other parts just now Dai so thanks for the delivery. I'll be contacting you again I'm sure for the remaining polly bushes once I check the condition of the items there.

Re: Larger steel wheels?

Imformative cheers Chris. I got the 340 due to the fact it has a pretty good weight distribution and I fancied something RWD, well the car came up at a good price and my plan for the FWD Puma track car went by the way when I went to see the 340. We've had a few in the past in the family and with my ...

Larger steel wheels?

I have been looking through a lot of threads nut cannot find a definitive answer regarding the increase in size and offset change on wheels on the 340. What I would like to do is increase the size of the 340 wheels to 15 inch steels with an offset of 43-45 will this be possible on a standard car wit...

Re: Solid mounts for 340

That's an interesting read. I like the fact you made your own mounts to suit and rigged a laser pointer crude but effective. I have laser alignment equipment to hand for work so will use that when setting the diff/propshaft up when I come to remove all the parts for a good going over. This forum fro...

Re: Solid mounts for 340

Okay cheers for the warning. Is there a preferred supplier of poly bushes for a complete set? Is it worth making any of the bushes solid and having a mix across the engine and box/diff say solid up front on the engine and poly towards the rear or just poly throughout? Also sourcing gasket sets for e...

Re: Toughing up the 340

I'm new to the forum and this is my first post but I recently bought a 340 which I plan to track this year. I'm after poly bushes for all the engine and box/diff mounts so can anyone point me in the right direction please. I'm running a 2.0 460 engine in the car (with electronic fuel pumP ) if that ...
