Hey Guys...

Just brought a Cortina TE Ghia...

Want to put a 250 or 350 Holley on the Car, does anyone know if this type which Holley would give the best peformance and if so, if it will just bolt straight onto the motor?!

The motor is mildy worked.

To quite honest a webber used on the X.F's would be heaps better or even a jetted 2 Ltr Webber. The X.F inlet and carb will probably fit on alloy heads... More streetable ---- but for max power yes Holley..imo..

I agree, the twin barrel webber is a real good carby. They are custom fitted on to holden motors for that reason. Also you wont be hassled by the EPA. They can be tricked too.

Cheap way to more power:- put on an alloy head and 2 barrel xf carb, extractors, xf efi cam, remove air con belt if fitted, remove fan and install a thermo fan to reduce drag on motor all that in a light bodied TE you will have an instant rocket

I had a 250 TE Ghia Blue Steel Metallic with Vinyl roof.
I ran a 350 2 bbl Holley on a Redline Torker manifold, Precision PC-251 RV15 cam, 40" cast pistons and mild head port and shaved 20". BW35 and BW78 2.92. Ran 6.5 secs to 100km (stopwatch) but only 15 sec quarters.
I believe it had 150kw or 200 hp.
No V8's, 6's or 4cyl turbo's could beat me to 0-60km but they would catch me at 110km and then at 150-160km it would slowly accellerate to 180km.
Holley $250, Redline $200, Cam $150, Lifters $60, Rollmaster $80, Pistons $120, Rings $40, VRS $40 and head milled $20 but the head job was free.
I did it myself. Just deburr and cleaned all the dags.

Don't bother with the Weber and std manifold unless u have an Alloy head.
34ADM is bigger than a 32/36DGV. Still a good combo but Holleys have that hard sucking sound when u go for it.
