Just lay a blue/black head gasket onto the top of the red motor and drill out the three (possibly four) water jacket holes that are required. The red motor ones get blocked off by the g

The VK EFI ran a blue motor style HEI dizzy. Only the EST carburetted engine had an ECU controlled ignition.

The reason for using the EFI manifold with ram tubes is that it give a 15kPa boost at the inlet valv

However you won't be able to use the factory computer. It's an old analogue piece of crap. You can make a VN Delco ECU work, but the hardest thing is getting the sensor in the back of the VN ha

The VK setup uses an air flap air flow sensor, so it won't open as far with a 173. All of the stuff should fit easily into the VH engine bay as VB-VK are bas

It is simply used for spark control. The engine still has a distributor, which really does bugge
