VH vacationer

[VH commodore]

update. sorry dont have pics atm. motor is in and running. got no exhaust on it atm so just the headers. i knew it would sound good but holy hell sounds like a monstrous v8. it scares mum lol. haven't driven it yet just need a fuel tank.. it starts so well too. the old blue motor ran perfectly but this one starts and idles just as good even with the 30/70 crow cam. don't even need any choke. lots of pics to come and any1 that wants to go for a cruise in bout a month im in.

update: although not many people are interested exhaust will be fitted during the week, and windscreen will be replaced soon after so i'll be cruising round by the end of the week :yeah: just got to go for a few mountain runs to run the new motor in. then i'll save some funds for a gearbox rebuild so i can put some power down without worrying bout it breaking. then i'll save some more and we should see the charger bolted onto the side of the 6 in the not too distant future. :thumbsup: then i can go test her at the strip, see what it gets.

sure is buddy. i work at Platinum automotive solutions cross the road. we should meet up sometime.

new engine was going strong till disaster struck. pulled over cuz there were massive loud banging noising coming from it. turns out the rocker studs are standard press in ones when with the big valve springs and such should be screw ins. also the springs are binding cuz it seems they aren't suited to the cam...so had to pull the head off to get that fixed. so its off the road atm but should be going again in a week or 2.

still need to run it in and get a new dizzy and blueprint it to the cam and tune the carb to suit but it still struggles for traction off the line...which is what u want
