Hi all
seeking some advise on an engine for a wb ute. I have to six cylinder due to P plate licence restrictions.
Performance exchange motor with oversize ACL Race
series pistons, ACL Race series molly rings, bigger valves, new springs,
20/60 CROW cam, new lifters,Race series bearings, high volume oil pump, ACL Race series gasket set and fully balanced. Price is around $3000 - is that ok for this type of engine?
Also would I need anything else such as carburetter, electric fuel pump etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Surely someone can tell me if this is a good combination or not, together with recommendation for carby etc. This is my first car and dont want to waste my money. I would really appreciate the feedback.

It sounds like a ****er package. It will not be better just because it has race series bits all through it and a hi vol oil pump. In fact, I would lose the hi vol oil pump and fit a standard one. The trick is to just fix all the internal oil leaks in the

just stick with the stock engine and save the $3000. then when your of your P buy a V8 for $3000. A done up 6 will drink as much if not more than a 8.

So what should I do - stock or modified. I think the V8 option is good but can't drive it until I'm 21 and am only 16 at the moment - too long to wait with the motor I have (It needs rebuild now) however putting a V8 is my goal down the track.

Cloudy, hell have trouble getting a manifold to suit the blue six to suit a WW, plus itll already have a HEI. A properly setup Varajet isnt all that bad. My old man had a WB 202 4spd van new and it went pretty well stock.

Thanks for all the advise. Have inquired about V6 option (In Qld) and apparently no can do - is still regarded as performance modification, therefore out for P plates. Can drive it on Learners but not on P plate.
