Re: Sound of a Windsor
Yeah have watched that one many times. And since I was on a public road I did have to keep it seemly. Well not be dumb enough to post it on you tube anyways. Hate to be thought of as a boy racer
Should sound even better at the next track day.

Re: Sound of a Windsor
Need to get a few of the T series together and run them down a straight some where.
Would be an awesome sight and sound.
I only know of a few T3's around here and a couple of T2's.
Also two beautiful silver ones owned by husband and wife in Fielding one TE and one TS.

Good Figures. These Motors just seem to pull from everywhere. I was worried that it felt to slow compared to the Turbo but its just the flat pull it has. Love it more the more I drive it

Yeah but you can still floor it and be within the legal 50 or 100kmh speed limit with a manual it would be easier to do and it'll still sound wicked.

They should record these and put them on a cd for people with Tritons to listern to when they drive.

Re: Sound of a Windsor
Imagine what a CD with nothing but the sound of a Windsor V8 on it and your playing it through your sound system with a good amp and sub.

It sure does mate...............Either spend $7 on a supercharger or around $7-$10k on an engine transplant.........But why transplant the engine when its only done 50ks and not too many people have a supercharged AU XR8 Ute, mind you not too many people have a 347cc AU XR8 Ute either...........Still the supercharger sounds too good to say no to.

Re: Sound of a Windsor
Might have to give IPV a ring when I save the pennies too and see if they can do a supercharger.

Re: Sound of a Windsor
We're not with Fonterra, we're with Westland................They pay more too.
Wonder if I could put it down as fixing the tractor cos the tractor is a Ford too.

Re: Sound of a Windsor
Sounds reasonable to me mate. Dry ground needs extra power to work as it is harder..
Just shame you need a ringfeeder on the ute to pull the driller.

Re: Sound of a Windsor
Well with the price of fuel and fert going up it costs more for both so I have to put the supercharger on the Ute so that I can cart the 150 tons of fert that I use in the season..............That would be a primo excuse I reckon.....Tell the accountant that it will pay for itself in 3yrs too.
