Hey guys since ive been asking so many questions for help i throught id tell everyone what im building
its a white over silver vk berlina
immac green interior only badpoint is the previous owner cut the crap out of a parcel shelf
paint is really clean few spots a lil scrached no rust at all witch im very happy with
its got a 304 black motor
Acl flat top pistons 40 tho
l34 heads witch have been ported and polished and followed
whole motor has been balanced and blue printed
rollmaster timing chain
quaddy carby
stage 2 crow cam ( unsure of specs )
pacemarker pipes
2/5 exhaust dumped at diff
l.s.d
2 gauges on bonnet
monster tacho
trimatic auto with shift kit and 2500 stally
so far just doing all the wiring in the engine bay as i had a major problem with the fusebox ( melted)
hopfully have the car running by end on jan
looks potential'ous!
gotta ditch the carby though mate.. unless its just a random sunday cruiser?? carby v8s just have no place imo today getting 25L/100s!
keep the carb mate especially the quaddy, brilliant response and has plenty of tunability with decent economy and power from the huge secondaries. A carb will work just as good as any injected motor, these words and more were also said by Barry Grant himself in a Street Machine interview
yer ive heard from alot of performance shops how good the quaddys can be. and also for legal side. as i was told hollys are illegal due to emissions ? quote me if im wrong
plenty of mods you can do to the quaddy for instance drill down the secondary fuel passages from the restriction they have from the casting process, notch the secondary flaps for a bit quicker secondary opening, you can adjust the rate at which the secondary air flaps open, re drill the secondary fuel port so it sits above the air flaps, you can buy different springs for your accel pump, adjust rate the accel pump works, re drill idle port for smoother idle if your running a bigger cam, theres a few more but thats off the top of my head. Any plenty more adjustability too
with a drill and some proper sized drill bits plus a small file you could do it yourself, i know you are new to V8's but you should start learning somewhere. Try get hold of old junk carbs from wreckers to practice the mods plus since you have to take them apart you can get to know whats inside the carb and how to re con them. I couldnt tell you prices since I have never taken a carb to get done but best bet would be to ring around. I should point out for the fuel system you should probably go elec pump set up since the only doenfall of the quaddy is the small fuel bowl which needs a good pump to keep it full during WOT for long periods
just an update finnaly got the drivers side extrator in. had to remove the rack
hopfully putting the tranny in. the next two weeks , and fix up a few things
firing order. etc.
and fire it up and put it in for reg and rwc
thanks so far for the people that have left feedback
and my mate jay {PIGYB8} for helping out with the car
