Yer bloke is abit of a Holden V8 wizard!

So a new in box CSR 3.75″ Nitrided Crank with Small Chev Journals and Arrow 5.7″ rods to suit came up cheap so jumped at that!

And does anyone have any hook ups for Manley Valves? Tried VPW today and they had 4 of one lot and none of the others…

Hey mate I recently replaced my clutch with the Extreme kit (Check my thread if you want) and it has been great!

If you want I can price you up on one, I’m pretty sure I could beat $385 even with freight.

Well then…. Should I change my statement to “I want lots of down low Torque”?  

Had a chat to TK during the week he suggested saving a few dollars on the rods/pistons by ditching the COME stuff and then spending a bit more and get the better Crane Lifters and also changing to a Custom Grind Crane cam. He did rattle off the numbers but I can’t remember them hahaha Also going to do a few oiling mods to make sure it has a happy life

Don’t care about Power, just Torque!

Now back to that VT Motor, Plan is to build a 383 Stroker! Not out to break records, want to still be able to jump in it and drive it without a worry and not really fussed on what power it makes just want heaps of Torque!!!

This my first time building a motor so if there is any thing I missed or Suggestions please don’t hesitate.

Parts List so far:

C.O.M.E. 383 Premium Kit, CamTech Hydraulic Roller 290/237 .587″ 110 , T/P High Rise Dual Plane Manifold, Aeroflow 1375cfm T/B, Cam Bearings, CamTech Double Springs, retainers, locks, Morel Tie Bar Lifters, Y/T Pro Street 1.65 Roller Rockers, Cloyes True Roller D/R Timing Set, P/B Race H/B, ASR Street Comp Sump. Will probably get TK  to do the Head work and also modded stock oil pump.

What I’m unsure about is the Fuel and Ignition side?

Back down in Sydney for a Cruise out to Katoomba with a few 5ltr Blokes. Was a good weekend with some nice cars 

[KroozerParticipant Forbes, NSW91 VN SS View build HERE Member since: February 19, 2015 Posts: 336]

Put a new Clutch in and found that when it was converted by previous owners they didn’t bother to put a spigot bearing in???  Also threw some Whiteline adjustable upper control arms in.

After a very long draw out process I also got 3m of VN SS Trim 

Picked up a VT Roller Motor standard bore for $300 plans for that later on…

Looking good! What sort of revs does it sit at on the highway with the T5 and 3.73’s considering same for mine?

And start a thread for the SV89 we need more VN’s on here   haha

[KroozerParticipant Forbes, NSW91 VN SS View build HERE Member since: February 19, 2015 Posts: 336]

You have come this far so why half ass it now? Just stick it out and you will be able to sleep at night knowing that things are done right       hahaha

[KroozerParticipant Forbes, NSW91 VN SS View build HERE Member since: February 19, 2015 Posts: 336]

How do they actually work? Are they a one use thing, do you have to recharge them? 

[KroozerParticipant Forbes, NSW91 VN SS View build HERE Member since: February 19, 2015 Posts: 336]

Just to add 5L of HPR30 and then use Lucas Oil Stabilizer to bring up to full
