HQ Monaro

[crazybiker]

Well, dad and I have pretty much finished restoring our gorgeous Holden HQ GTS Monaro, 2-Door.

Currently it's got a 308 slightly worked, and we've comes across the perfect motor to put it;

308 Stroked
Roller Rockers
Edelbrock manifold
3/4 Race Cam
Stage 5 heads
Forged Pistons.

For $500. It's perfect. Nothing wrong with it. It's barely done 1000km.

So we're gonna be pulling the old motor out, and re-conditioning the box shortly, and putting in the new weapon shortly.

Anyway, just out of curiosity, what do you guys reckon it should reach on a dyno, and if you're really skilled a Quarter-Mile run?

It's got a 4-speed Saginaw Chev box and a Salsbury 3.08 LSD.

I'll post pictures of the body when I've got some.

Hell yes.

I'm jumping out of my skin waiting to get this new motor and drop it in.

It will be absolutely LETHAL.

That's most of them.

I just haven't got a photo of it with the bars on.

That looks beautiful I love the HQ styling, I almost ended up with a restored HQ Kingy for my first car.

Looking forward to pics of the new donk

Well, I'll upload some final pictures once we get the new motor in.

Take it for a spin, and try and talk dad into taking it to WSID for a few runs...and maybe even a dyno run.
