my new VC project car, 5.1 350HP monster

[Paiste402]

hey, this is my new project car

it was my dads years ago but it was sold. the new owners just left it sitting outside for about 4 years and now we can get it back off them, surprisingly alot of it still works, aircon still works, blinkers, lights, dashdoard, doors, the LPG tank primes, it flicks onto petrol. But the starter motor is gone and the engine is a bit siezed we reckon.

Well this is what has been done to it:
Its a VC Commodore SL/E with
a Black 308 (instead of the blue) and bored to a 312 (5.1 litres)
Flattop pistons
Balanced
LPG
CrowCams LPG camshaft
4 barrel quadrajet carby
3:08 Limited slip diff
4 speed chevy auto trans with a B&M shifter
Lowered


when she was working and driven alot it was dyno'd at 350HP at 5,200 rpm.
Alot of childhood memorys and road trips in this car and now its mine to work on.

no motor pics as of yet, too dark with my phone.

I hate to nit pick but in your first post you claim the a/c works, how does a/c work with no compressor?

oh woops, i didnt mean A/C, i guess i just meant the fan. It did have it at one point but i guess it just got lost over the years.

Its a thorn in my side a/c i have it ,it works, i want to keep it but i also want to run roller rockers which don't fit under standard covers and when you put after market ones on so they do fit the a/c compressor wont fit arrrrgrhhhh!!

I think she needs a few new wires and some tape, would make a huge difference to how clean it would look.

yea the engine bay is a little messy, im just more stoked that she is running. I want to redo alot of those hoses so they cant be seen on top but thats a later job. Just knowing how much donk is behind all those hoses and wires make me smile still
