What, not making a complete quick change front end. 😂😝

All the fab work looks great.

Can you set up dual mounts?

If you’re 80% on dirt then I’d optimise for that at the moment and figure out a second sub frame for tarmac.
Since it’s only the suspension attached to it this time it should be easier and quicker to swap over.

You can buy “Monaro” vented bonnets for the VR.
But that spoils the fun of custom making one.

Ok, didn’t realise that.
If you have a spare rack, pull it apart and get a new rack made at the faster ratio. An manufacturing place that does gear cutting & grinding should be able to do it.

I have to admit I didn’t think the VR’s had variable rate steering.
I know some of them have variable power assist but the base models don’t.

Do you have a build thread for the Tonner anywhere?

Work has a manual red V8 tonner for pickups etc.

A regrind would be a cheap stroker, also not a great way to do it when chasing more grunt because of the smaller bearing diameter.
Then there’s cast cranks
Forged cranks
Then into the world of billet. :D

That looks pretty minor damage wise for the break & speed, you got off lucky

Depends what year Vette, the newer one use a transaxle mounted unit. So flange is great. Shifter setup, not so much. Would still be more expensive anyway. Personally I’d have extended the adapter to the split in the gearbox case with the bigger bolts.

Why use the existing unit, easy …. cost.
