If it has an 8 in front of it, I may need a medic…

Humm, well that’s the million $ question.  It should have a 7 in front of it in hp, from there not totally sure. This engine has never been about just power, for me its the torque and the power delivery that makes it so much fun, and tbh a little unique being an NA car. Happy to take guesses and closest shotguns a ride.  I think I still owe Cav o…[Read more]

So a week ends work then

Well its bolted up, first small hiccup, when I changed the reluctor to 24 teeth, seems the corresponding cam sprocket is needed (I had no idea)  Luckily I have a split timing case, so should be pretty easy to swap over.  Everything else is looking good for a full days noise tomorrow…

I reckon its a great skill to learn Cav, and tbh not hard to become good enough to get by.

Just been around to sign the “all care but no responsibility” form.  It is literally sitting at the doorway to the dyno room.  Let’s see if they can get it hooked up and started today, not sure how far they will get.  They have sorted a pair of taller rocker covers for the dyno work.  I am sure there will be issues, but fingers crossed.

Mate that drive train in a lighter body should be next level.  What a great build I am sure this will be.  Guess you are right too, be nice for the old Lexcans thread to finish as it sits now.

Supposedly dyno tomorrow…    

Gearbox porn indeed…

Holy shit balls, have I been living under a rock or something?  That’s a HUGE development.  Part of me is sad to see it go, but then it makes perfect sense, should piss a few of the euro purists off too…  So a whole new thread, or continuing on with this one, maybe renamed?

The fat bitch is dead, long live the svelt Euro…

Excellent, Jason is a good operator, I would trust his stuff.

You see Volvo in mine, I see fag in that

Awesome, thanks very much.  Kinda leaning toward this for the plates

Yep, get that ll goog.  Got it happening on Bookface too, how about VLW-304?

Not feeling the love for that IJ, heres the link to the site where you can bang it in and see what it looks like;

You and me both mate, the wait is seriously killing me, fml…

Cheers mate, watched a youtube video, seemed relatively straight forward

OK brains trust, like to put some personalized plates on the old girl. Has to be at least one character.  I like the top one, thoughts?

Used the VL for its first tow duties on the weekend, runs awesome when started, but has devloped a cold start issue. Bit of research and it sounds like maybe a common problem with the Quadrajet, so reckon I might buy an overhaul kit and have a crack at doing it myself.
