100% take screens out you’ll kick yourself if you don’t…easy to tell on these when painted with screens.

I’d cut rubber along screen if they’re old & cruddy then pop screens out yourself.

They look better with newer style especially new rubber on fresh paint is nicer detail & you want to check channels underneath free of rust.

Wondered if you could drill spot welds then move that bracket with 2 studs over so there is no gap anymore.

Simplest way is bend up new longer bracket but they still look a little weird & not really fan of studs exposed like 6cyl early girls have in neatened engine bays.

How far you going with engine bay?

Lightened flywheel it had..still got all my toes

Engine was a QL block taken from an ex-taxi..read David Vizard books then attempted whatever I could as holden parts were almost free & plentiful.

Basically how it looked in v8 cruiser mode for several years before hibernation.

Damn good price if it solves the issue.

Been told by few blokes on e85 if fuel pressure drops it’s time to clean filters & to go little lower in micron rating to reduce clogging.

Some have fuel pressure guages after fuel pumps & at fuel rail

Not sure if they’re bigger around bellhousing but the seem bigger everywhere else.

Yet to see one fitted in early girl cruiser,everyone goes th400 or glide

That Sandman sounds wicked too.

Funny that even when meet peeps off a forum you still call them by username in person haha

In 6cyl guise car had decent amount of xu1 gear in it including lj xu1 bathurst head…heavily ported which de-valued it greatly,the xu1 head & webbers + tax returns help fund the v8 build.

Engineering became a nightmare was just too hard to get cars passed at the time.Political BS.

Before I got tubbed sle was very close to buying rough 350 chev…[Read more]

L77/4L80 seem good value especially as more become available…few small mods they’d make more grunt yet retain daily drivability.

What’s required to get them into a early girl tunnel would be interesting to see.

Can’t seem to post clip only youtube link…it was that loud after 5-10mins if you didn’t have earplugs you’d get headaches.

Also taking Brock scoop off to see difference of no scoop & 9×5 aircleaner vs 9×2 + brock scoop

Those are 305/50(27×11)  It will take a 325/50 radial with some more work BUT 275/60 or 255/60 street tyres are fraction of the cost

Rear was tad too low,scraped sidewalls on wheelarch in storage yard doing u-turns….

Cav…yeah I’m too lazy type out specs…easier to use previous owner pics etc…kind of got decent deal out of it although it…[Read more]

Been doing a little bit of work on this lately..had a few issues trying to set rear end up better & fell into trap of changing things that annoyed me lol

Got diff centred,should stay straighter under power…tyres tuck wheel arches nicely & even

Said I wouldn’t do it but for now going fuel cell in boot & get twin 3″ pipes poking out…[Read more]

Still got 2 plastic powered early girls…although tempted go ls than build crazy holden stroker.

Needs more dish than that mang!!!

Did you find out if big mofo box will fit into vs trans tunnel?

Bellhousing looks huge?

Should make one of those engine start-up stands for it with radiator,gauges etc

Then he can build good ol’ 202 or $50 253 next.

Short-arse 70kg brother has an earlier 10R version…very rapid looking thing.

Cracked fairing when it fell on him ,fcuker too short & light for bike like that haha

Yours have gear selector issue popping out of gear or that only common for 10R?
