Very nice. My old boy got a pov model VC not long ago with 48000 on it. I have a VK 5 speed box I will be offloading at some point if you're interested. I'm in Brisbane though.

Look forward to seeing some progress pics!

sounds like a good pick up no doof. i havent done anything to the old girl yet (been pretty poor and busy doing an apprenticeship) but im happy with how shes going. how much do you want for the g/box? do you have the rest of what is needed for a conversion? im getting her painted sometime soon for 1000 and a couple of bottles and tonight have been checking out various mod prices on the internet.. looks like im gonna have to get a second job so i can spend some money on her.

i just bought these... cant wait for them to arrive!!
is this a good deal?
how much power will this add
also.. what else will i need to install them? intake manifold gasket? as you can see it comes with a intake manifold too! will the exhaust system fit straight onto the vh ? ill put up photos of the install.. maybe videos after it also

^^ looks like a good deal on the carbs & extractors, if they are all in good condition
triple SU's work well on a 202, probably one of the best carb setups you can have on a 202.

just a bit of pre-warning though, you'll more than likely need to balance them once they are fitted to the engine. Best way is to us a bubble/vacuum gauge to balance.
have a look at the adjustment section of the link below, it's a fairly good explanation

su's

hey mate not too burst your bubble and i am by no means any expert. but those carbs are probably to suit a red motor(202) with 9 port head , and technically a vh should have a blue motor(3.3) 12 port head so the manifold wont fit unless you put an older motor in. could be wrong as i am only 18 . so feel free to correct me

 

[redrags]

i have no idea if you are correct or not but i hope youre wrong.. age not making a difference... can someone clarify this please

Manifolds
hey mate this manifold looks like this one^^ the R1268 in the holden section the 11th on from the top says its to suit a red 9 port head with 3 x 1 3/4 in su's see what anyone else reckons . thats a good starting point too. clean as car i have a vh wagon similar colour, an interior to yours i just bought a few weeks ago.will post some pics tommorow check it out . mines on 19's but

The ebay add does say suit VB they were a red motor. Tripple SU's/CD Strombergs are more for the 9 port heads, 12 ports run ALOT better with tripple webbers. Even the extractors will prolly need a bit of modding to fit your head. If you have the blue/black 12 port motor.
