Yeah that sounds like it would be cool, or even the ones you have wet sanded with 100grit paper or something to take the shine of it would look awesome. you know you want too :p

Honestly this motor has always been temporary for this car. When I do a swap il pretty up the new one nicely but for now it's a case of just making this one not embarrassingly ugly!

Plans are either a "proper" 308 similar visuals to this:

Or a 5L similar to this:

But with yellow bannanas and about 10psi:p vortech/raptor most likely.

BUUT that's a good year away at least!

Next is install my ratchet shifter and my vl diff.

Ratchet shifter with manual valve body i hope :) My Calais, did that. Gutless 5litre Calais tuned for gas running on petrol car load snatching 2nd cherping gears and same in 3rd :) on straight at AIR. Also had 4,11s though lol.

Had many arguments with people over this, but i Had mine set so it went

most said do gears other way round. but my intention was if i were to stall it while running and need to get it into neutral Id need to stop as i was going to 1st before i got there. But i can go up gears then hit Neutral and start it then go back down to 3rd or 2nd whatever. Made more sense to me doing it that way. especially if you had the problem your having but jaming the brakes on to void a car at 80km and it stalls there goes everything until you stop and start over to get neutral

you just missed out as well. I just gave away my freshly rebuilt LSD! go straight into the 28spline vl diff

With motors don't put a blower on it, they look crappy on such a nice car side mounted :( Fuel injected 304 with a Elderbrock manifold so its still got the old school look.

Truth be told I'd kill for a valley mount blower but doubt budget will permit one..

Yes I do!
I need boost or compression. The way I see it at 8.5:1 the 5L was meant for boost and holden just forgot it.

Valve body is a good idea.. Dif and shifter first though since both are already sorted and just need putting in.
