im on the hunt for a unmolested harrop manifold and hopefully be able to swap it for my TP Manifold or sell mine and buy the harrop....I don't like my chances tho

T/P are a good manifold man dont get rid of it yet

 

[mr j-man]

True, but they don't RPM and flow as good as a Harrop

I would try a different dyno first

Very tidy car. I used to own a black vh myself, such a menacing look. By the way those polished B45s are mint! If you ever get rid of them you have a buyer right here!

hey mate, going pretty good, just got the exhaust done on Thursday /Friday.

Ill tell ya what...every sports/custom exhaust ive had fitted over the years ive never noticed anything but the sound...but with this one I can definitely notice the increase without a doubt. Those old pipes must've been a huge restriction to say the least.

She sounds like a completely different engine altogether.

Just recently I ditched the old alloy radiator and fitted up a new ADRAD copper radiator...its basically an original style.

I had to ditch the sh!tty poocomp alloy one as I couldn't keep it below 100'c....(yes I know poocomp products are crap but I bought it before I knew who they really were).
Now...it struggles to get above 95'c. Still running thermos and also added the VH overflow bottle and had to get a new tstat housing as the old one didn't suit the new radiator.

what setup exhaust did you go. twin 2.5" to single 3" over diff????

i see scotts rods made it was it custom or off the shelf.. im in need of an exhaust soon and i know scotts rods make quality gear . if it was custom what is the chance of dropping it back off to them to copy and make a set for me?
