    Pretty sure yellow top is the top of the range one. But nothing wrong with the red tops either.

    Pretty sure dale bickham did similar but took heaps off the heads and had to cut valve reliefs into pistons. Think it performed okay. He detailed it on the old forum. Put engine in vk in the end and think was in the 10s? Sketchy on exact details but should be able to find it

     

     

    The 10 seconds motor had a big stick in it. His vz is the one your thinking of. It ran high 11’s

    You would be looking at $1300-1500 just for the conversion. $500-750for the clutch (if a good one isn’t inc with the conversion) then prob $1000-1500 to fit.

    Just thinking last night I need a new one. What I’ve been using all my life now does have the capacity to lift my cruiser off the Ground. ????

    Improved racing baffle is $350 from memory. The ASR setup is very much the same.

    If you got the torque a glide equipped vehicle will be faster.

    If you took ur stock Vr/VS arms to a good fabricator they could mod them to be adjustable.

    I bought TCI pan for my T700. It gave an additional litre of fluid capacity, cooling fins and a drain plug. I then tapped a 1/8″ NPT thread into the pan, as it was cast aluminium and had plenty of wall thickness. Was around $250 from memory. If using a steel pan, put the drain plug at the rear (diff end) as the engine and trans has a slight tilt to the back. Temp sender can go anywhere, the lower in the pan the better.
