Morton's 1972 HQ Kingswood

[383 hatch]

If Jonno can't help you with the parts, i'd able to help you with the brackets, and possibly the diff.

Morton, You can also use floodlight lamps the same way. I have baked my engine covers by making a box out of MDF and covering it with foil. With 2 lights the metal got so hot I burnt my finger touching it.

Yeah, that's a good one too. I'm all para-nazi about electricity these days though, and it's probably cheaper to burn the gas ^_^ That, and I have two bottles to burn through.

Now that's what I call engineuity.

Best. Pun. Ever.

Or just bad spelling.

Can't tell XD

That would be sick if you could Diff will present the biggest headache, most sallies on offer are of the leaf sprung variety. (or the LSD short ratio $800 variety)

Keep an eye on eBay, not sure if just lucky, as much as its a single pegger, I got a 3.08 sal for $100, redid all the brakes and bushes for a total less than $200.

And engine mounts are pretty easy to come buy new, but no so much on a budget.

Until I re read and see brackets, I'm guessing your meant the ones that bolt to the block.

HOLDEN HQ-HZ SEDAN 2.78 RATIO SALISBURY DIFF | eBay

That's the only affordable one on eBay and gumtree!

Yeah, but for that sort of money I know I'll find one with a more exciting gear set than 2.78s.

 

[kingswood country]

I still want that ratio!

Painting the Holden logo on the front cover with a brush - not my favourite activity ever.

But it worked so well.

I kinda fancy myself right now.

Mort

Probably the wrong word, but that is a very pretty motor. I'd be proud to open my bonnet to show it off.
