Hmm, dragways would look quite good.....

I love it! but just like everyone else has said, it really needs mags!

It's a classic holden, it needs old school mags to go with it! A nice big set of Centrelines is defiantely the go.

Or I don't mind the 5 spoke Rebel mags on a Kinga either!

New updates:

New cam and lifters installed.


While I was changing the cam the timing cover did not seal properly and the coolant made its way into the sump Not good, drained oil, resealed timing cover, filled with diesel engine oil, ran for a while, dropped it then put in penrite with new filter. All good. Though I keep breaking hose clamps on my radiator hoses. Dodgy c**p.

dont get a 390 holley try and find a 465 i had one on the hz befor i got the 600. the 600 is to big for the little engine even with the stage 3 cam
it uses tooo much juce

 

[253@7k]

Technicially speaking a 253 would be best with a 350 or 390:

Cubes x max rpm x VE% = max flow

3456​

So,
253 x 6500 x say 80% VE = Would give you a max flow of 380.67 cfm

3456​

However we all know real life is a bit different.
How much better was the 465?

Finally installed my Autometer water temp and oil press gauges to keep a better eye on things.
I love autometer, its like the senders were just made to go onto a holden V8.

ive never seen the newer holden/HSV rims on an oldschool holden..
imagine calais internationals or sigs on a torana or old kingswood/monaro
