    My 1981 VH SL/E (not dial up friendly)

    Not sure what your budget is but when i was in perth i shipped my SLE there and stored it with a bloke just near the airport cost me $200 per month and was looked after well and could acsess it pretty much anytime. I can pm you the details if you like, would be a shame to sell especially with...

    286 cam or 288?

    It will be for a carby. I have been recommended to go through Clive Cams, spoke to them today seemed very helpful, has anyone had any dealings with them? They have a hydraulic cam which is in between the 286 and the 288 which could be a goer.

    286 cam or 288?

    Hi guys, just seeking some advice on which cam to put in my engine. Currently getting my 308 stroked to a 355 and wondering if i should bump up the cam to a 288 or stick to the 286. Car is a weekend car only non drag/strip, is it worth getting some extra power from the 288? or is the 286...

    VN heads or 355 stroker kit ??

    Have been doing some research regarding ProComp and most of it is negative. Can anyone recommend a good 355 stoker kit it will be for street use only and strictly a weekend cruiser, and roughly how much it would cost. Thanks

    VN heads or 355 stroker kit ??

    Car was dynoed and pushed too far and shat itself, turns out that when i had the engine built the 284 cam wasnt worn it properly and some of lobes were worn flat as a result of the subsequent dyno check. I thought then that i would put a bit more beefy cam in hence i put the 286 cam in.

    VN heads or 355 stroker kit ??

    Not too sure what size the valves are (std i think) rollers are 1:65 was putting out 145Kw at the wheels which is a far bit less than when i had the 284 cam .

    VN heads or 355 stroker kit ??

    The heads have been slightly worked on not sure to what extent though, looking at the specs of the 286 cam it recommends a comp ratio of min 9.5:1 to a max of 10:1 pretty sure mine is below that. Carbie is a rebuiit quaddy will be getting some work on that too, eg bigger jets With the VN heads...

    1984 Vh-SLE

    Some more pictures, if you can see it in the picture i had the center console re trimmed in blue velour turned out pretty good i think (P.S if you are wondering why there is a paper in the car it was for my car insurance, they wanted proof that the photos were current lol)

    Diff Gears ???

    Hi Blown V6, i thought that the 9" was a bit of an overkill the LSD will be a new one (maybe reco) on the Borg and as i said i dont thrash the car or drag it just want the option down the track to do some more stuff to my engine and not then have to go back and play around with the diff again.:):)
