Washers are your friend    Basically sold wrong injectors, washed the bores, didn’t bed rings in properly, leading to excessive blow by, rebuild required.  Its not all bad though, it is an opportunity to make more HP

Well that was fun, Brenton came up and we dialed in the cam, he went through and explained all the steps, like anything there is a bit in it, easy I guess if you know what you are doing.  And its spot on perfect.  He also went over everything I had done and gave it the tick of approval.  Also he dropped off the lifters which look beautiful.  Hea…[Read more]

Got a nice day off today, awesome  weather here, so got stuck into the valley cover, came up a treat.  Happy with that

Good stuff, good luck with it.  Yea I had to sell one of my kidneys to pay for my PWR radiator set up but its beautiful piece of work.  Actually I had to sell my first born child to pay to get it through engineering, but thats another story

^that could do with a nice Build Ninja 3D printed gauge plate so they were angled towards the drive a little

I actually just have a single SPAL fan on mine with no shroud and zero over heating issues.  It is on a  custom PWR rad though.

Went through this discussion back in the SC days   Not a huge fan of spending money on things that dont make any engineering or performance difference unless I have too.  You really dont end up seeing any of it really with the ITB set up anyway, what you do see the orange offsets the look of the trumpets etc.

And for the record, VHT do a “Chevy Orange” (Hugger orange) hi temp spray can, tried it last night looks like an exact match for the block colour, so hopefully the valley cover comes up nice.  (paining is not my strength I can assure you!)

Well being OCD I have checked all the threads in the block and they are all spot on

Is your DBW?  Is there something funky you could do with how it controls throttle body relative to the pedal?

Here in SA I go to CBC, not sure if they are up your way (checked their website looks like they are)

So spoke to Brenton during the week, he is aiming to get the heads sorted this week end (waiting to hear) and then come up Tuesday night to do some trial fitting and measurements etc.  Hanging for that

So thought I would try and knock off “project clean”. Got everything pretty well cleaned and bagged. Spent a while on the grinder with the…[Read more]

Just a tad slippery….

Good luck buddy.

I did that on mine, I have a write up with pics in my thread on how I did it.  I used a Dakota Digital unit, and custom fitted it into the console.  In may car (VR) with the glide I made up a new decal to look factory but only having D and L.  I used a manual gear knob and tuned up an adapter to fit it to the ratchet shaft.

Just got a chance to watch the vid, beautiful mate, would love a $ for every time I told my lad when he was learning to race “smooth is fast”  Car looks and sounds awesome, love the steering work, particularly after the bridge  

Top stuff mate, what a weapon.  Gotta be happy with that result.

Got a day off today, thought I would continue operation clean bits, so in that spirit decided to take a break and  give the old girl a sponge bath given she is laid up awaiting her heart transplant.  That paint work still floats my boat
