My HSV VZ Senator Barbados blue

[Surfwagon]

The strut tops which now come complete with bearings from Holden about $80 for the pair trade and the rear cradle bush and new bolts about the same price, you can reuse the top insulator (I had thrown mine away and had to buy them as well).

FAST 102 inlet manifold now fitted

I have been running with a FAST102 manifold for quite a while now and all I can say is that they work and are so much better than the LS2 inlet manifold.
I was looking at doing some CNC'd heads when I saw this on US ebay at a good price so did plenty of reading all day (their night) and the next morning it was mine.
I do a lot of low speed hills around my area and you can feel the extra torque right across the rev range not just at the top end.

I recently fitted a low k VY Maloo 3.73 to my senator but before I could fit it I had to change over the Pinion yokes as the LS2 and series 2 VZ 6.0L does in fact run a much larger doughnut and pinion flange/yoke.
Distance between bolt holes on the VT2-VZ1 V6 & V8 is about 82-83mm where as the LS2/VZ6.0L yoke is 95mm between bolt holes.
see difference in pic below the one on top is the earlier yoke and the one on the bottom the laster revised bigger version.
