might seem like an odd question but are you fitting cruise control back on it?

if you are i’ve got a V8 Cruise module you can have, if you want it. took it off my VS cant fit it because the Torque Power Manifold. keeps getting moved around the shed because its in the way. I dont think i’ll be using it, saves throwing it out.

mine was made by C.R.D but my mate bought a Edelbrock one, but it still cost him  $650-700ish, then when i ordered my manifold Craig at torque powered asked me if i needed a throttle body, i wasnt in a rush but when he said the price i kinda jumped…[Read more]

yeah i picked up the filters both cheap off ebay, but besides that paid about $1800 for the throttle body and Manifold, thottle body was $770 through Torque power, but there a billet unit main in Melbourne, manifold was $1100-1200ish

both my mates VS and mine Run a Walbro intank Pump, well mine will soon. Just gotta fit it

i think the K&N XStream air filter kit i used was 66-3040- but i’ll have to check for sure, that came with a 3″ filter (78mm), then i bought a E-3740 replacement element which is 2 5/16″ (59mm) to buy a bit more space, and sold the 3″ element…[Read more]

thanks mate

thought it was my laptop not displaying stuff right, makes it a bit difficult to read

Yeah, I actually didn’t want a single or dual plane type manifold, wanted to keep it stock looking so I bought a Starr Manifold,if you flick through the photos you will see it was the original manifold that I had fitted to the new engine

A mate of mine built a very similar spec engine, still a 355 like mine but a VS Block with a crane 286. He had…[Read more]

i Had the Engine built by Rhemac here in SA, was a few years ago, but only just got the chance to fit it this year, was a compete engine not just a short motor, pics of the motor have been around on a few forums

i am running a K & N X-stream drop base brought it with a 3″ filter, which fitted but i then changed the filter to an slightly shorter…[Read more]

well most of the driveline is back together, had a few issues with extractor fitment and a issue with one of the transmission line fittings that i had intended to use rather than that stock Alloy hardline.

I fitted the Aeroflow ones, bolted the transmission completely in and realized i wouldn’t be able to get a fitting on the top line. So went to…[Read more]

Looks so tuff like that. It also looks like you might need to flare/roll the guards for a bit of clearance.

Good work mate. Now to get scrubbing to see how good that engine bay comes up. I gave mine a coat of paint while it was out, glad I did too. Just a can job but came up looking good.
