My VK Calais

[MICKY.D]

I bought this VK Calais for $500....bargin.

It had a noisey torque converter and dead battery so not too bad.

Started pulling out the auto, then thought might do a cam change, now it has ended up getting,

YT HEAD RECO
CROW CAM 35665
CHILLED IRON BASED LIFTERS
ALLOY CAM GEAR SET
DOUBLE VALVE SPRINGS
CHROME MOLY RETAINERS
COLLETS

AUSSIE SPEED TERRA CHARGER MANIFOLD ( coming soon )
ROCKER COVER AND SIDE PLATES ( coming soon)

650 Holley
Terra Charger (once manifold available)

Should be fun, but not sure how the bottom end will like the boost

But!!!!!
i was wondering why there was little raised areas around the rear window??
BOG!!!!! so now the hole rear is getting stripped for repairs and painting.

Its all fun and games!!!!

A little rough on the outside, but it's got two things going for it, its a VK and its a Calais. Some TLC and it should be a awesome ride, nice find mate.

Nice....
I've got a question, how hard would it be to fit a unit like that to an EFI VK?
