Noo… Sorry to hear.  Someone will pick up a good project

Do you have any plans to help get more of that power to the ground Manta?

Does anyone know what max compression ratio these whipples or more importantly this engine will take? At last MotorEx in Vic, bloke at YT stand told me they’ll go on any compression engine.  I was pretty sceptical…

But I like it IJ.  Will you go to the two piece rear main mate?

I like it.  Will you go to the two piece rear main mate?

Very very nice.  Split bar is an underrated model I reckon

I’m an old Aussie V8 die hard Gary. My next engine, turbo Big Paw.  Half Chev / Half Holden…

VR/VS LS Engine Conversion General Information….

Don’t do it

“Yeap…. going out into the shed again are you?  I hate that thing, can’t wait til it’s finished… ”

(Ha, it’s never going to be finished!!)

Yeap, going out into the shed again are you… I hate that thing

Yeah good idea Gary.  I thought you were going to do the 3d printer thing when you were designing your shifter knob.  (Which has turned out pretty good anyhow).

No VH SLE, I didn’t look into door moulds.  And which grille are you talking about mate? If you’re talking about the one on my car, it’s a Rare Spares item.  They come in a neutral fin…[Read more]

Yeah, XYZ aren’t in the same class.  If I had my chance again….

I have a suggestion regarding bumper moulds.  I bought some last year, but I don’t have the rear SLE bar, so rears were not an issue from memory.

The front bar moulds were a tad short, so I joined two, then put an over rider to cover up the join.  When you look at the bar, you wouldn’t know that it isn’t stock.

So now you have the option, t…[Read more]

Now are you sure you don’t wanna stick to the Aussie 8?? I have a good set of VN heads here….

Is it possible to make these hard to get parts in a 3D printer then hard varnish or copy via CNC program?  Try not to laugh too loudly, a complete computer retard asking the question here.

Thanks Gary

Will do.  I’ve emailed some footage of the run. (If you can be bothered of course, until I work out why not loading)

Cava, what’s your though process of going to the LS engine.  I think I know why, but thought you were a fan of the Aussie 8.

Sorry for side tracking thread, this is a fair set up IJ!

It felt ok Gary.  Because the motor is only a couple of weeks in, I pulled timing back to 28 capped the rpm at 7000 and stupidly forgot to screw up the engine vac pump.  Ran 10.3 at 131 mph.  1.50 for the 60ft.  6.60 to 1/8 mile.  That run was during the day.  Track was very good, had 20psi in rears.

Went out for a second. Ran around 9:30p…[Read more]

Do it mate! Got one proper run in last night.  I’ll post video if I can and details when I get a chance.

Sorry to hear Gary.  Hope everything is ok
