Have a 1981 TF Cortina 4.1 x-flow with alloy head Stromberg carby. Is it possible bolt a 1988 Falcon XF inlet manifold and Weber carby straight on to the 81 TF block ?? Or are there problems ?? Also does the air cleaner clear the underside of the bonnet ? If you have done this modification successfully I would like to know all I need to thru this site or even better it would be great if you could ring

3. Can the Cortina fuel pump be used and does the configuration o

1,no it does not touch.2,yes it does fit and it does not need to be modified.3,you must use the cortina fuel pump,a falcon one dont fit because of the engine mounts (the cortina ones are the same but were made with an angle on the bottom of the pump to cl
