Update time.

It has been bloody cold in Canberra so progress has been a bit slow. I have had a metal reverse cowl made up to accommodate the new stroker setup. Just need to get around to welding it on.

I have also been busy re-doing the bay again, this time I am going no AC no power steering and no brake booster. As usual a lot more work than…[Read more]

Bloody hell mate you did a good job walking away. Sounds like it was a close call at that  speed.

Hopefully it hasn’t set you back to far??

Looking nice and neat Gary as usual.

Keep the updates coming mate.

Does it take you long Ian to change it all over from road to autocross mode?

Thats interesting about engine size affecting the stall had never heard that. Definitely want it around 2800 – 3000.

Your should be nice once the manual conversion is done. Always prefered a manual when i was younger now im getting lazy lol.

Good to see your still at it. Sounds like it wont be long till its on song. Keep the updates coming.

I thought you might be biased Sotta.

To be honest it came down to $$$ as it almost always does.

They are a nice head with a really good finish.

I was looking at the edelbrock manifold before i thought about heads then figured they where all made to go together so why not.

I originally spoke to Come a few times really nice guys, but was…[Read more]

Its that time again that I write an update on the ute.

The supercharger is gone and the motor is now out.

I have started collecting parts for a 383 stroker rebuild my purchases so far are,

C.O.M.E Racing 383 stroker kit forged pistons h beam rods etc etc
Edelbrock vn heads for a roller cam (it should be interesting to see how these heads…[Read more]

Nice update.

That is a jigsaw puzzle i wouldn’t want to touch.

<span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>Always interesting when people have had a play with things and they dont put it back together properly.   </span>

Nice update Dave it will not be running out of fuel anytime soon thats for sure.

That really shows how much the water/meth plays a huge part in cooling intake temps.

Top effort, great progress.

Always a good feeling when you start the motor for the first time.

Have you had a quick run around the block yet?

All i can say is im glad i finally got around to changing my leads starter module coil and dizzy. It is such a different car to drive, no more miss in idle and starting is so quick.

Thanks, im showing 16-17 deg on my laptop at idle so i think im in the ball park cheers.

I had to swap out my distributor today which some of you know is a c*$^ of a job in a vs 5L

Car is running again and i have set base timing at 10deg in diagnostic mode.

I was just curious when you take it out of diagnostic mode what should the timing be sitting at roughly when idling?
