Hello
Would a F100 with 351 cleveland with 2v heads and a 2 barrel carby be P plate legal in Victoia

GreenMachine

i'd say so, given the weight. If not, just get some "302" badges.

Yes, you can drive an F100 that has a 351 on your P's. They are miles under the maximum power to weight ratio limit set by Vic roads.

the weight is certainly under the legal limit, but if an F100 with a 5.8L is listed in the restricted vehicles at vic roads than it is deemed illegal. I'll bet it is illegal, as my XC with a 351 is restricted even though it is legal based on power to weight. Best to check with Vic Roads!

Thanks for the help guys

Also How rare are the 1978 F100's in Australia?

GreenMachine

Not incredibly rare - were quite a popular truck. Still worth very good money though, especially stylesides in decent nick...

We got $8.000 quoted on our 1978 f100. What about parts though, because we have had a lot of trouble finding parts for ours.

I had a 76 with a very strong 460 in it. went like the powers but I couldnt stop the bloody thing! and parts for f100's are super pricey, i spent over $1000 on parts alone to replace the brake system on my 85 ambo, then had to get the diff done! $650 now I'm waiting for the 351 or auto to drop their guts lol

GreenMachine

Parts can be expensive - at least the motors and gearboxes are bulletproof and common (351/c6 usually). Don't break a headlight, grille or anything in the interior. Replacement costs are painful... although I have found a good F-100 wrecker in Brisbane (only a couple of years after I blew mine up too! )
