    That setup will be nice what efi and throttle body brand? Efi will be nice if you really plan to drive it as was the build brief

    Looks tuff, so much work behind it as well.

    I just had simular wheels stripped back and polished they looked great but hard work to keep nice. Better off re clearing as I assume you are doing

    The holley are worse again on fuel from what I hear.  Id take the car into somewhere that can sort it out the carby and check it on the dyno I know some great places but they are all in melbourne. Are you sure the issues are actually the carby?

     

    https://www.facebook.com/BmFuelSystems/ id send it to them they are the best I know

    Some further info for those that might be interested regarding A/C kits for Ls engine swaps. This guy has developed a local kit (was actually recommended by Muscle Garage): https://www.facebook.com/gizmosautoelectrics/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&eid=ARDWG0WsRRILBDR8hZV1Vt22vgxf64ahtndq9TsNL5yYkDDGmioDcZXFYIG3jHcQHhX3iC8En8-12k_m Spoke with him last week – $1,000 plus postage for a new Sanden compressor and mounting brackets. Uses original tensioner but a different belt is required. I’d like to get the A/C working on my VN once the LS goes in so this could be a good option. If I end getting this kit I’ll post up some pics.

     

    Great info whats the advantage of this one over the one I posted?

    I’ve been playing with Holden based AWD stuff for 10 years now but the downfall has always been the open front Diff, this has made handling ” interesting” to say the least. Chevy sent me some info from one of the group’s about a guy that finally worked out what diff it actually is and did a Torsen T3 swap, there’s quite a bit of machine work to do to adapt it but that’s never scared me.

    Id be keen to see whats involved in fitting it can you post pics of the mods as you do it?

    Tacho is installed and working, had to get an extra Autometer harness that taps into the coil packs for it to work properly, ended up costing more than expected but thats cars really. Converter is flashing up to around 3700 rpm Will look at a new radiator later this year. Can still drive it as is for the time being, just have to keep an eye on the temp. Tossing up between a copper Adrad 3 core one or alloy PWR one, the Adrad is about $570, PWR is just over a grand. Custom one from South Coast Radiators (they make quality ones and are very popular in the burnout scene so they have some pedigree) are around 2 grand, so one of those is a little out of the budget. Also thinking of getting a cheap factory V8 one to try, will have to muck around with new hoses as the inlet/outlet are on the opposite side, but it might work better than what i have now, and I could probably sell it for around the same cost if it doesnt work.

     

     

    I have used adrad in 2 cars and they have been great. I used it on my boosted l67 and keeps it very cool and they fit really well if it helps any
