Posts: 24If you go LS, you don’t have to go turbo to make good power/torque
Yeh I know, but if i go that far, ill turbo it also and go all out.

Posts: 24Ah yeah interesting thats cool. So did it have the smoothed out base on the manifold and the two large ports rather than the four? Yeah bang for buck ls1 is the way to go. We have a worked 253 here thats stroked out to 310 ready to go in our vh something different.
Never looked down the manifold to check it haha…
Yeh, LS is the go, but a tough 355 carby just screams tough. Depends. This may stay as is and ill work on another project for all out power.
Yeh, 253’s can get up and go if modded right.

Posts: 24Would you consider running efi/ stroker?<span style=”line-height: 21.8182px;”>
</span><span style=”line-height: 1.5;”> </span>
Possibly go stroker 355 but will leave it carby. If I ever went big power combo I think id join the LS + Turbo brigade.

</span><span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>What was “hdt” about the 253?

Apparently the vehicle was modified by HDT originally. 4bbrl “Brock” manifold, Quadrajet Carby. I got the plates with the car and have just kept them. They have been personally signed by Peter Brock and id love to sell them, but no one wants to buy them haha

Bloody fantastic, always love reading a story like yours of how you see a car, eventually buy it, all enthused, has some mechanical issue, falls in to neglect for a while due to changes in personal circumstances, then you get the time and enthusiasm back to get stuck into it again. There early girls are starting to really ramp up in popularity and collectability. Btw mate there’s a better way to post up pics so they are larger if you can, I did a post describing how to here http://www.commodoresplus.com.au/forums/topic/posting-images-using-photobucket-attachments/
</p>
<p style=”line-height: 19.2px;”>Thanks for the kind words.I usually use photobucket but havent logged in for years. Will upload some photobucket links soon.</p>
What a great story nice clean car too. Notice a fair few sneaky sl/e bits on there too. Any plans for a sle interior to make it way in there one day seats wise? Hows the new 308 perform?
The last owner had plans to make it look like an SL/E. I have no intention to make it a moke up. Id rather spend the money on performance instead but who knows, I might change my mind as I tend to do so. haha
Yeh, the car goes ok with the mild 308 in it. Needs tuning and some gremlins sorted but sounds nice enough and spins the wheels pretty easy. Will stay with this set up for a while.
