SouthRidge replied to the topic vt 304 in 02 monaro conversion in the forum Engine Conversions & Engineering 6 years ago
Okay so I read up on the IM240 test and that seems straight forward to get certified.
The next step would be if an engineer can certify the transplant because this seems to be a grey area even with some professionals saying yes and others no? I understand it may vary state to state, whats my chances in VIC to successfully get a 5lt vt 304…[Read more]

You can rip into me for asking but my question is a valid one.
This Monaro will be bastardized (not structurally), I have a bucket list of transplants/drive trains over a lifetime to complete. Having had such a big affinity to the VT platform a v2 monaro is the right choice for me.
It is without a doubt an easy transplant using a Series 1 VT SS…[Read more]

So, long time no updates right. There is a good reason for that… I sold the VK.
I’ll start where it all began.
I was faced with a situation where I had to move on with the VK. My wife said to me that she would never let our son ride in it nor she because it wasn’t safe enough. Its a highly valid point with the modern safety features of c…[Read more]

Try flipping the struts to get clearance. Or just give sheet metal a little flex to cleare it. Can do it by hand. Worked on mine.

Finaly got a set of sawblades 17 x 8.5. Always wanted them wayback when there was no hdt 19s. These are cast alloy with chrome finish.

For now though ill run them as is… who wants to see me attempt to fit the rears with the 285 tread…[Read more]
