    Power and Torque are related.

    Nope and nope, they’re directly related, 

    Isn’t that what I said?  There are many misconceptions about the way they are related and what effect that has on driveability is what i am trying to say, obviously somewhat badly.  But that’s enough on it for me, back to building cars.

    All I know is, Power is how fast you hit the wall, Torque is how far you take the wall after you hit!!   :XD:

    Well then…. Should I change my statement to “I want lots of down low Torque”?   :unsure:

    Had a chat to TK during the week he suggested saving a few dollars on the rods/pistons by ditching the COME stuff and then spending a bit more and get the better Crane Lifters and also changing to a Custom Grind Crane cam. He did rattle off the numbers but I can’t remember them hahaha Also going to do a few oiling mods to make sure it has a happy life  :good:

    Yer bloke is abit of a Holden V8 wizard!

    So a new in box CSR 3.75″ Nitrided Crank with Small Chev Journals and Arrow 5.7″ rods to suit came up cheap so jumped at that!

    And does anyone have any hook ups for Manley Valves? Tried VPW today and they had 4 of one lot and none of the others…

    I work at a Spare parts shop that has been around for 60+ years so we get a good discount with our suppliers 👍 Precision and Rocket don’t do Manley, looks like VPW and Fabre are about it…

    Quick update, Not much has been happening, slowing collecting bits and piece’s for engine. Bought the CSR Crank and Rods off TK so can cross that off the list. Went down to the All Holden Day in Windsor again this year with a few other VN SS mates. Some nice cars there other then one group trying to look like Woolies car park with about 70 ve/vf’s….

     

     

    Got to scoot this Tidy VR Senator around as well while the cars were clean and ready for the next day

     

    And last week finally ditched the last of the VIC Spec and got rid of the Venetians! :)
