Not sure what gasket he has used, I will get all the specs when i pick up the engine from my mate, I just kept sending him the $$$$$$ when he said he needed more lol, my mate has been playing with suprcharged 6s on LPG for over 15 years and has built some tuff motors in that time, I am still in the prosess of rebuilding my chassis to take the exrta hp and am hoping to have the car back togeather for the street rod nats at Goulbourn at easter, I have replaced the HR rear end with a complete volvo setup including the upper and lower controle arms, I am also using the volvo front discs on the HR front end, addapting them to HD drum brake hubs with a fabricated calliper mount, so i will then have four wheel discs, with the front ones being twin pot callipers.I have moved the engine mounts back 4" to try and get a bit more room in the engine bay, and am now working out brakets to install the cut down commodore rack.
Another mate is building my trimatic for me so i dont have any details on that as yet, but he used to work in a speed shop in sydney building race cars and told me that he will build it strong, I just hope that i have built the rest of the car as strong to handle the extra power.
The only thing i am disapointed in is that when i rang yella terra about building me a new head, they told me they were not making them for holden sixes anymore, then after buying a head and spending big dollars on it getting it right I came accross the new yella terra Alloy heads
http://www.kustombitz.co...wer-low-compression.html that have not long been re-least Had I known they were going to make them i would have waited a bit longer before building my motor.
I was thinking about using a hurst or b&m shifter and will be going full manual with the box.
I will post up full specs on both motor and box as soon as i get the right info from my mates, for now i will be just concentrating on getting the chassis and body back togeather
I would like to hve my wheels restored as they have been on the car since 1977, they were custom made by niels wheels. any one have any contact details for them ? phone number or location would be great.
cheers barnsey
my chassis with the volvo rerar fitted.
And this is after taking the chassis back to bare metal and applying one coat of KBS Rust Seal.
Great stuff to use and goes on with a brush, or can be sprayed, I opted to brush and it just levels out so good it looks like it was sprayed.
