My vk executive

[vkwalks39]

G'day guys, just a small updated. I've taught my self how to use a mig weld.
I think i didn't do a bad job. For a person who works in a vineyard. I'm takin' my time with this car, I don't want to stuff it up. What do you guys think? Cheers Jason

[crazy.vr]

I haven't seen your car but I assume you had a heap of holes needing welding up. Good finish there. I have a 150 amp mig welder and it's a good tool to have in the workshop.

[vkwalks39]

Thank mate for your reply. There was a few holes, where the a/c runs. Also the where the tags are. but, I give it a go, first time using a mig. I hav fun doing it. Had, a mate show me what to do, and of i went. I have more mig welding to do. It's in the fuel flap. Cause it had duel fuel in it. Cheers Jason

Hi guys, i'm getting the driver seat, and back seat fix's up too. It going to cost me $300. And at the end of this month, We are getting the fuel flap fix's up and the small holes fill up too. They are going to finish off the engine bay too, So i can have a smooth engine bay.

[NZVK308]

nothing more satisfying and proud than a completed job you did your self....

[vkwalks39]

Thanks 4 that. Very true !!!!

[vkwalks39]

Gday all, Yesterday i went to a engine builder. I told him what i want, he said " Anything over 400hp I'll be looking at $1000 for every 10hp". Is this right? I though Shit, and then he said that i'll would be better off going with same spec's as the brocks ( i love the brocks!!), It's going to cost me 270hp and 420nm of torque for $5000. Does this sound right or am I been rip off.....Cheers Jason

[v8commy]

2 words 383 stroker = $8000 or 355 stroker = $6000 = alot more power than a brock

[vkwalks39]

thanks v8commy!! the motor standard stroke. i don't want go stroker because i like to be different, he also told me that my procomp won't work with the camshaft cause, the cog on the of the dizzy is to big for the camshft and the hole also. The hole only needs to go out 2mm i think. It's not much anyway. And, the camshaft he suggest to me was a solid roller with .530" lift. that if want to go with 500hp. I'm totally confused. On want he said to me. The engine builder is base in Horsham....cheers Jason

[v8commy]

seriously if ya gonna rebuild it stroke it

[vkwalks39]

Cool thanks for your help v8commy. I just brought a holden V8. The bloke did motor up had spent $2500 on this engine i'm getting it for $800, it has edlerbrock manifold, running a strong cam, procomp dizzy, heads have been done up too. flat tops pistons at .030", it was in A9X Torona. And the motor is brand spankin new too. I can't wait to pick it up. Cheers Jason

[v8commy]
