This is my first car when i was 16 which i turned into a project i purchased the engine from a wrecked vz thunder which only had 1300 klm on it for $6000 i then set about removing the 253 and crelica 5 speed in place of the 6 litre and a t400 i already had a 9 inch in it so a new tru track centre went in with 3.5 gear ratio as you can see by the photos i achieved 330 hp with the setup and ran a best time of 12.8 with full rego i have just removed the engine again to freshen up the engine bay and remove the inactive D.O.D and fit a bigger cam and upgrade all the bits needed for a bit more fun ha
Hope everyone enjoys let me know what you think and if you know of anyone else that has done this conversion

Great transplant mate, more room in that bay than I thought

What size stall converter is it running?

 

[Boonz]

Nice conversion mate. Loving the dash!

Running a 3000 rpm stally in it at the moment, may have to go bigger as in putting a cam in it only a baby one for now but we will see wat happens chasing an 11 second pass down the quarter would be an achievement
