ZK Fairlane Part19 - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Engine

[@growingknowledge]

Pete, Merry Christmas to you and the family. If I had a wish from the Chanel (and it's your Chanel so I don't expect it), it would be for you to stop starting new projects until you finished a few of the old. The 750 for example and the other bikes. Just focusing on what's been hanging around for years or passing them on if you're not going to get to it. Make space in your world and then smash out a big project you're keen on. I've followed you for years and you're a top bloke who knows his onions. All the best to you.

[@seanmadill283]

Merry Christmas and yes I would like you to film a lot of that engine going together . Thanks Peter

[@PeterAndersons]

Will do mate, cheers.

[@happymark1536]

All the best young fella you are the best teacher

[@chrisF351]

Merry Christmas Pete👍👍. Im looking forward to more progress in the new year👍

[@TheBear351c]

Hi Peter. Hope you have an enjoyable holiday season. Been a Cleveland fan most of my life, and its hard to find any detailed videos of rebuilds, so I for one would love to see another full build. Cam install, piston to valve clearance, anything and everything. Just scored an XA similar to Jason's, lots to do....... have a great new years.

[@markbehr88]

Merry Christmas Peter. Love the ZK. I hope you end up keeping it. There aren’t too many left now and they are terrific cars. Let’s connect in theNew Year so I can sort you out with the XA roof rack. Cheers Mark

[@PeterAndersons]

Yes Mark we'll catch up. I still need the roof racks and I also still have the good 250 and transmission here... although I've been raiding emissions gear from it, cheers.

[@markbehr88]

@ Thanks Peter. Have a great break. 👍👍

[@ianwright40]

For a 1/4 million mile car it's earned that rust. Love the green.

[@peterstortenbeker644]

Merry Christmas. Still enjoying the progress of all your projects.

[@PeterAndersons]

Thanks mate, slow going, but fun, cheers.

[@morantaylor]

The door with two pack was probably from a later XF / XH when ford switched to two pack.

[@cameronalexander359]

Merry Christmas Pete and wishes for a great 2025 for you and your family. Don't know how you can put out so much content along with working a full time job so hope you relax over the Christmas period.

[@PeterAndersons]

Thanks Rob and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and new year too. I like to keep busy and have another place in central Vic, so been spending time up there too. I suppose I get to relax when it's needed. The very best wishes to you, Jan and family. Take care, cheers.

Hi Peter, Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Love your video's I'm currently doing a ZG Fairlane and sorting out a 302 for it.

[@PeterAndersons]

Good work mate and thanks, cheers.

[@ellesmerewildwood4858]

Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year to you and all the family too Peter and thanks for hours of entertainment throughout the year. Looking forward to more action in 2025.

[@PeterAndersons]

[@tonykluytmans5336]

Merry Christmas Peter 🎄🎆🎁

[@PeterAnderson-s3x]

Peter Anderson ❤😊 Christmas Peter 🎄

[@PeterAndersons]

Thanks Tony, you too.

[@pablostark1665]

I can never get enough of Cleveland builds so bring it on. Re the one way clutch on the alternator, it's there to allow the spinning rotor to keep going once the engine is stopped, instead of an instant stop. the BA/BF/FG 5.4's have them. Were you also converting a Crossflow air cleaner snout to an XD/XE V8 one? Would be great to see the process incorporating the 6 cylinder stove pipe as well. And a merry Christmas to you too.

[@gregatkinson2541]

Hope you have a fantastic Christmas peter, been loving your content cheers..

[@PeterAndersons]

Thanks mate, same to you, cheers!

[@matttodd3778]

Ay Merry Christmas to you also Peter!! I'm also enjoying rewatching the older resto series.

[@PeterAndersons]

Thanks mate!

[@TheTorkerman]

Merry Christmas to you Peter! Love the fairlane progress. Hope we see an XD, XC, XW summer cruise video?

[@PeterAndersons]

I'm eyeballing the XC, have to finish it!

[@messylaura]

happy xmas Pete, my Birthday today too, 55!

[@PeterAndersons]

Happy birthday and Christmas mate and thanks for all the support over the years, cheers.

[@wanneroo7106]

Merry Christmas Peter, thanks for all the videos this year. Sounds like things are going better for you and that is great to hear. Looking forward to 2025 and seeing what you do next year. It would be nice to see the XC on the road for a road trip or something.

[@PeterAndersons]

Totally correct mate, I was having another look at it yesterday, cheers.

[@Manchild-o7d]

I'm guessing the parts where you annealed the door skin are more susceptible to oxidation in a similar way to the HAZ(heat affected zone) caused when welding. That's why most welding these days is done with a protective gas curtain(MIG/TIG)...

[@PeterAndersons]

Perfect explanation and thanks.

[@Manchild-o7d]

@@PeterAndersons I remember being taught this at engineering college in the late '70s...lol...I must have paid attention at least sometimes...

[@RachelEvans680]

Merry Christmas Pete...hope you all have a good one and a Happy New Year! All the best mate,Rach...xx

[@PeterAndersons]

You too Rach and thanks again for all the support! xx

[@chillintheville2548]

Thanks very much for your content, peter. All ways very informative, a very merry Xmas and a happy new year's to you and yours.

[@PeterAndersons]

Thanks so much, cheers.

[@carbidegrd1]

Merry Christmas Ozzy! Nice weather😪

[@PeterAndersons]

Yes mate, it's a bit hot for this time of year, cheers.

[@robertharrison8014]

Merry Christmas Peter from Phill with the XF Falcon may be able to shed some light on the left hand front door for you the little hole in the door was for factory speaker wires for a XF Fairmont or Fairmont Ghia or ZL Fairlane or FE LTD Keep up the great work mate

[@PeterAndersons]

Yes mate, I thought so and someone had used door speakers in this car as well. I'll stick with the dash speakers but will use grommets for the holes, rather than welding them, cheers.

[@Roger__Wilco]

Merry kiss-me-arse Peter, well done with the channel :D

[@stick0035]

Merry Christmas, Peter and happy New Year

[@PeterAndersons]

Same to you, cheers mate.

[@fl3162]

Have a great Christmas but I suspect you’ll have oily hands whilst carving the Turkey 😂

[@PeterAndersons]

Haha, yeah, I'll let the kids deal with that side of the food, cheers.

[@TheMrShinagami]

Merry Christmas Peter, I'd love to watch you rebuild that engine but understand if you decide not to film it.

[@PeterAndersons]

I'm very happy to do it, but I was just worried it might be too repetitive... but why not hey haha, cheers and thanks for all the support you've offered over the years, cheers.

[@wanneroo7106]

Also let's get you over 30K subs in 2025!!!

[@PeterAndersons]

Slow process now mate, everyone is catching up to me haha, cheers.

[@bigredwrx4313]

Merry Christmas Peter, the build is really progressing fast which is great hopefully you can get some more done on the wagon aswell. What do you think of an efi swap from a Magna on the sigma later on for better economy and a much more smoother modern drive maybe an electric window swap too from a Magna I think the TM was the first Magna so would have used left over Sigma stuff

[@PeterAndersons]

Hello mate, EFI is a great idea; smoother, more power and a lot less hassle given the carb issues some of the Sigma's had. Not sure if the window mechanisms would fit, although you may be able to make something up with the motors and old regulators... very interesting, cheers.

[@humlaxau]

all Please

[@PeterAndersons]

Will do mate, cheers.

[@paulelmer5119]

Hi Peter happy new year to you and your family. Question for you on the size of fuel line as I’m in the process of transplanting a 302 Cleveland into my xe that was originally a 6 cyl efi. Do I need to upgrade the fuel line size to 3/8 from the tank through to the engine bay. May use just the mechanical pump or is it worth upgrading to the electric pump with a pressure regulator. Want to use the original thermoquad carburetor unless complications come up then I will look into other carby options

[@PeterAndersons]

Hey Paul, happy new year! Nope, the 5/16"fuel line from the 6 will be fine. XW/Y GT351''s used 3/8 and unless you have some fairly serious horsepower in your 302, it would be overkill. Not sure what XA/B GT's used, but I imagine XB's were 5/16. I fitted 3/8 to the XW, then when I did the XC, found out that the 351's in XC/D/E are all 5/16... leave as is, although the end will need to be re-routed to enter the bay from the LH side in front of the suspension apparatus. Funny thing is, my XD (V8) runs the line along the LH inner sill, where the XE sedan seems to come from the centre area like the 6, then off to the side. I saw it on a video on an XE ESP the GT shop was recommissioning. It shows it in the manual as well, where the utes and vans run along the sill like the XD. I'll run mine (on the ZK) the way it is on the XD to keep it away from the exhaust, cheers.

[@paulelmer5119]

Cheers for your reply, very helpful I appreciate it. Want as much of the factory look as possible Will be making the engine bay sections and yes will be making a line go through the passenger side into where the suspension area is. Can’t wait until I get to here that v8 rumble Just a stock 302 standard headers and maybe a 2 1/2 inch exhaust whatever the legal limit is for decibels. Love the videos Keep up the good work.

[@nathanobrien6875]

Merry Christmas Pete!
