    Default 11/79 VB Commodore 210 stroker wide bay

    Okily dokily where do I start I bought this beast as is for $600 Cash before you laugh, it has lowered king coils all round new pedders suspension a 210 stroker motor a holley 500 double so just in parts alone it was a good buy .

    seems pretty cool to me. Good buy!

    just a question from someone not in the know, what does a 210 start life as?

    i know a 186 can go to 234, and a 202 to 250, but i haven't heard of a 210 before.

    how does it go with the 500 holley? a mate had a vk with a black motor running strackers and a 500 and it was boggy as hell. it actually went better when we put the standard carb back on it!

    congrats on a real cool buy

    that sounds about right TreeCutter she is a great motor I have some purdy chrome pieces to go on her from another 202 I have the block in here is a 3.3 =202 I was told it was 210 stroker Im not that wise about stroker motors, but she flies and has a great sound with the 2 1/2 exhaust for a fat old 40 yr old bloke living his teenage years that he missed out on due to having kids when a teenager

    she is cool for me

    she is real cool.

    don't mean to be pedantic, but a 202 (3.3) bored 60 thou is a 208, and technically is not a stroker. a stroker is an engine where the stroke has been increased, not the bore.
