Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can recommend a good hop I build the 5l bottom end. Would like to get the block cleaned, honed, zero decked, oil mods and galleries done and the entire bottom end rotating assembly balanced. I'm after someone who will do a good job. Also if there is anything...

Sounds like a good plan. Yours is really starting to come along which is uping my spirt about this one. I have been watching your thread closely. Funny you mention the 288, as thats the one i ended up ordering, overkill and a half, but you know.

Before i purchase the cam kit, is there any feed back on it? From what iv read its the lobe duration that creates the lumpiness. However the 304 and 286 have the same, but qat different lifts. Is that a huge difference?

With the bottom end done, theres only the top end for more power. Since its only going to be a weekend (if i ever get time off) its just going to be a nice sound that im after. Since its a ute, it wont touch the circuit. And the closest drag strip is 4 hours away, theres not really need for...

Wasnt going to but the bannanas back on. Im undecided about maifolds currently. Only discovered you can still run TBs using a hate on carby manifolds.

Well its coming together slowly. As i can only buy pieces per week. I received the stroker kit: Scat i-beam rods with arp bolts and crank Federal Mogul/ speed pro pistons (flat top with 5cc reliefs) and moly rings ACL race mains Mahle conrod bearings Dura-bond 0.002 undersize cam bearings...

Clearly didnt read the thread. Want a nice sounding cruiser rather then a powerhorse.. I ride the putty every day for work..

Ah ok, thanks, well atleast the idle is the same, which is what i want. I thought more poeple would have a H304? Love to hear yours once its up and running (havnt checked your thread yet).

I found a random vid of a VH with a H304 in it. I feel inlove with the sound. The car isnt really going to be raced, its just a cruiser purely for the V8 sound. Id be happy with lump and good take off, but after watching that vid, i dont mind what i lose. However the bannas wont be on for very...

I chose the 186 because everyone uses it lol. Id love a grumpy cam, but i also would like some usable power. Unless you can recommend something else. The 304 is the same price as the 286 just stated it required some head work. Id only be running 3.08 gears altho going the flat top stroker kit...

Thanks for all the replys, iv been without internet since i made this thread :( Iv decided to go with the SCAT kit and 286 cam. Once i get those 2 plus the balancer (flex plate or fly wheel is i can find a cheap conversion kit) and drop it off at a builder, that way to get blanced and bottom end...

Ill be doing as much work as possible myself. I dont have a budget in the way of a figure, but i want to spend as little as possible as i want the car on the road soon. However, iv decided on 30thous so its a 355 not a 350. So the block will go in with the stroker kit, cam, and all the other...

Hey guys just started tearing down the 304 for the new car. Turns out its a virgin bore, because i bought it from the boganist people iv ever meet (dead set the women that came out acted and sounded like one of the characters from houseos) i decided a full rebuild it was. The ute will just be...

Nah mate, this was going a year or so ago. Always cheaper to get a second hand one and repaint it. Thats why i filled mine with bog.

Last time i looked for this panel, it was over $300 brand new, not with fitting.

Sweet, so really i should just get a VS ecu and box instead of running VQ loom, box, computer? Now iv got 2 bloody V6s to get rid off.

Sweet, changing ecu, whould that require a loom change as well? Using the VS computer, my guess, is i would need to run the VS auto not the VQ auto?

Do a error code check.

Iv managed to score everything needed to convert the ute to a 5L. However being a 93 motor for a 96 shell, how legal is this? Iv read to different answers over and over again but with no definitive answer. One person claims i can do it, another claims i cant. As most threads were from 2010, i...

Same second of road everyday. Everyone forgets how to drive here.

Herp derp. Lets post photos of photo shoots.

Thanks. Cant wait to upgrade the CPU and cooler and do some case modding.

Havnt got any 3.5s to go in, but the SSD is in so ill start installing the gear and doing some updates. Best wire managment i can do in this case due to the type of case it is. Next on the list: more hdds, i5, water cooling, rubber channel, clear Perspex and some green lights.

So my lovely missus bought me this today. Its a shame the soundcard doesnt fit, just need to buy a SSD adaptor to mount the drive in and it should be up and running. Then late ron the I5 and water cooling. Started the wire managment, just have to lengthen 4 wires so far and shorten the fan...

Ah ok, so far so good. It must of been my power steering rack. This pump was making alot of noise for the first 2 days, but i guess thats because it hadnt been used in about a year and been dray for just as long. Reco rack and all new lines, hasnt blown yet, if it does, came prepared. I have a...

Yea, i got abit exceited about getting it ;)

Thanks to Wraith i now have my new mobo. Thats in and so is the GFX card which means i can start doing some wire managment. Will prob get some more gear next week to get it running. Then later on an I5 with some water cooling.

As promised, i got some pictures. Im looking to buy the motherboard this week, but the build wont be finished untill a few weeks unfortuently. Not unless i come by some extra money. Im also looking at some I7 chips to put in as well as a Swiftech H20-220 Edge HD Liquid Cooling Kit so i can play...

Just started building my new computer, as i use my computer mainly for watching movies, i thought i should build a multimedia computer. The plan is to dual screen 2 32" LCDs, one for movies for the misus to watch and my to either play a game or use the net. So i just bought the following: EDIT...

Bloody kiwis. Buy some SLs, legal height for here. Not sure there. But SSL or ultras.

Quick question, i keep blowing pumps, my lid has the long piece snapped off. My guess it needs this to operate properly. Is this correct?

Hey guys, looking to upgrade the computer as i just bought myself a new case, the Silverstone GD08 case. Im currently running an I3, with 8GB ram and the cheapest 1GB gfx card i could find. As its a multimedia based computer, i still want to dual screen, so movies on 1 TV and games/general use...

Been looking to get into it, as after i loaded the bombadore up with camping gear, i couldnt drive off the drive on a an angle without bottoming out. Been looking at SWB (as i still want something shorter then a wagon/ute) then to drop a 5L or 5.7L into it as i cant completly convert. ;) This is...

Checked your error codes?

From what I've learnt you can't use a l shape for duals. But I don't know much at all, however there are lots of calculators online which I have found.

Thanks for the reply. Just sent a message to the bloke that sold it. Bit of a pitty it's not a vs one, was lolling forward to replacing my stuffed one.
