I’ve got a TRI and stall that will suit which I’m looking to sell

Not sure about LSx but alloy blocks you do.

I wouldn’t remove heads unless u have to. Unnecessary work.

Can someone tell me what makes a Holden 304 so hard to work on? They’re about as simple as it gets.

 

Not hard. But Ls much easier.

Rubber gaskets etc on intake manifold. etc

 

only shit thing about Ls is heads off to do lifters.

All that work in the engine bay then puts a stupid pod filter on it…..

believe he had it setup for an otr. Pod would of been a temp thing.

Mines used to be t5. Now stalled auto

 

Hopefully the new setup doesn’t tramp. Gone solid ass end

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Never had a tramp in mine. Stock ass end with the odd nolthane bushes.

Oh ok. Never heard of that. Woukd have thought a manual valve body be much better and easier.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

What’s the go with these. Stupid qn: what do they do?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

I rebuilt my ls1 last year. First time I’ve done it.

 

I just did re ring and new bearing s through out and updated some parts. I got a set of hand port 241’s on it and a “baby” cam. I used ls7 lifters and new trays as for my application tie bars weren’t needed.

Id recommend milling the heads to bump the comp up.   .030-.050 will get it up nicely. Always a good thing to re check rocker geometry. I ended up using 7.350 pushrods to get my preload right.

I’d thought about a Manual but given I’m not that great a peddler and the nature of the tracks being a bit rough I decided to stick with the Auto, It’s shift kitted and I do all my own tuning so it’s no drama to make it behave exactly how I like, coupled to the B&M Ratchet shifter it “should” be as good as the manual with one less pedal.

^thats one of the new Sonnax billet input drums with the bolt on supporting ring isn’t it? They weren’t out when I built mine but Greg Nader at Sonnax who i got to know said they were working on something like it. very nice bit of kit.

Yeah it is Gary, the AWD system puts a bit of load on the 60’s I killed mine 9 times before I came up with a Combo that works, I’m currently using a Z Pack 3/4 set for all my 60 builds and it’s holding up nicely. I traced quite a few of the failures to the Programming, if you have the shifter in D and kick it down to 2nd under load say goodbye to the 3/4 Clutches… Shifter in 3rd and it’s fine as the valve body must exhaust the 3/4 piston better that way.

 

why not go full manual valve body?

The guys who did my auto despise ppl that play with them in the tune. If you want an auto to shift correctly or a particular way do it mechanically. Not via a tune.

 

Seen a lot of fresh boxes bite the dust cause of a tweak of the tune.

That thing sure will boogie that’s for sure. Whats sort of gauges you going to run in this car? Autometer or something like a motel dash?

i ask because if it’s like an autometer where u need to instal a sender. Machine ur self up a tee piece and run it from the factory location at the back of the inlet manifold. That will give u the most accurate readings.
