Post by v8slrtorana »

My heap.
1977 Holden HX GTS.
Block is a SU prefix with later model high lifter bore castings.
Stock as cast VN prefix heads, chevy LT1 valve springs.
Crane 284 cam.
Running VN wiring loom.
VS Dizzy
MSD Digi 6 triggered by the factory coil + wire.
Running 12P, PCM hack RT board in a old red Kalmaker.
T400, 3800 stall & 3.25 9"
57ltr fuel cell in the boot, in tank pump cause i hate fuel pump whine.
Im sure there will be many stupid questions from me.
Cheers Trenton

I love it ! I have the SU block in my Q, it means no cats and pollution stuff here in Vic, I'm using the tall lifter bores though and running roller cam looks great ! Any motor pics ?

Pretty sure most of my car pics are public.
Older pic from last year with the Active Manifold which seems to now be a door stopper.

Yep stock stroke for now.
I have a fuel cell, not the standard tank.

I want to EFI my wifes HX.
Either going to get a drop tank made, or work out how i can pass power through a steal tank.
I would just cable tie a pump to the end of a stock pickup & wrap in foam filter to act as a soak.

Antus, we should be able to give a post thanks! To the OP, your car looks very nice but the steering wheel is on the wrong side?

We do that to stop Americans driving our cars. Many of them are just too fast for you blokes.
