Hi everyone, i have a 1984 VK berlina and i am gathering information on getting the thing to go hard. It has a carby 202 black motor, Lukey extractors, 3 1/4" exhaust and dual fuel. I am considering the basics, Redline intake, 350 Holley etc. but i want to get rid of the trimatic which is soaking up my power, i was wondering if anyone knows about a kit for putting a Turbo 350 in a VK and how much it would cost.
PS. i know the best way to get more power would be to bolt in a 253 and i would get better fuel economy too, i know, but i like the 6 pot and if you have any other ideas pls let me know.

Hi Old_Bean.
There's nothing wrong with a Tri-Matic, they don't soak up more power than a TH350 & their gearset is stronger than the TH350. In drag racing with small cube motors they are the gearbox of choice.
Most bad publicity about Tri-Matics ari |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |
